we are working with a large number of community health centers to adapt the EMR to include the ACT to assess asthma control.  Outcomes to follow on this website!

In MA, we used Jim Krieger's four questions on asthma control.  In summary, they ask about nighttime awakenings, asthma symptom days, activity limitations, and rescue medication use.  We then use the EPR-3 guidelines to categorize control.
