Case Studies

1. Improving Asthma Care

Open Door Family Medical Centers recognized asthma as a prevalent chronic condition in the school-based health centers with an opportunity to improve disease management and control. In order to address this, the organization set goals to improve classification, treatment, clinician education and the increased use of asthma action plans. As a result, Open Door Family Medical Centers was able to improve classification, treatment and percentage of patients with asthma action plans, which led to reduced missed school days. Additionally, patients and caregivers were given tools to better manage asthma, while reducing manual tasks and overtime pay for staff.
