2.      Discuss the concept of asthma control at every follow up visit.

3.      Utilize written asthma action plan that includes daily medication management to recognize and respond to worsening asthma.

4.      Discuss the importance of allergen identification.

5.      Counsel patients about environmental trigger control methods.

6.      Teach patients appropriate techniques for medication delivery

Criterion for selection includes offices with a relatively large number of clinicians and clinician enthusiasm for the education program and asthma quality improvement.
