Implementation of the Asthma Control Test in Primary Care to Improve Patient Outcomes
Asthma is one of the major chronic diseases in the pediatric population, affecting 9.5% of children. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute recommends the use of the Asthma Control Test (ACT) for periodic assessment of asthma control. The purpose of this evidence-based project was to implement the Asthma Control Test screening tool into the primary care practice to improve management of patients with asthma by more accurately addressing asthma control.
