We have the CHW go to the home shortly after the inpatient visit.One of the questions we ask the caregiver and patient is what do you think triggered this event? Also we have access to the medical record so the CHW can see the inpatient team's notes which should also note the trigger for the event. In the home we have an environmental trigger observation checklist which we use to identify common triggers. Parents are taught about how to reduce the asthma triggers and given supplies.
