Asthma IQ Has FourMain Components
1. Asthma guideline implementation:
– Test your knowledge of the new asthma guidelines using patient data
– Assess a patient’s asthma severity & level of control, & develop asthma action plans
– Review how you meet guideline criteria & examine areas for improvement
– Create patient education tools
