Purpose Of Review: This article reviews new approaches, facilitators, barriers, and opportunities to increasing adoption of standardized asthma management programs in the outpatient care setting.
Recent Findings: Primary care clinicians providing asthma care in the outpatient setting are challenged by the complexity of guidelines and want standardization of tools that are easy to use and that can be integrated within their practice's workflow. Programs that integrate clinical decision support tools within a practice's electronic health record and provide support from specialists may enhance uptake of asthma management programs in the outpatient setting and reduce asthma morbidity.
Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics of pediatric asthmonia, a syndrome in which children have both an acute asthma exacerbation and a concomitant diagnosis of community acquired pneumonia.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on children admitted to Connecticut Children's Medical Center in the pediatric emergency department from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012. Children with asthma and pneumonia were identified using ICD-9 codes 493 (asthma) or 482 (pneumonia).
