Alternatives to home visits

Thank you for the question. Some alternatives to in-home visits include providing patients and their families and caregivers with information about how they can reduce their exposure to common asthma triggers in the home; suggesting that they access tobacco cessation services through a quit line (1-800-QUIT-NOW) or recommending that they request integrated pest management services to control pests in the home.
