In collaboration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), NCHH has developed an eLearning and technical assistance platform, Building Systems to Sustain Home-Based Asthma Services, to support the launch and growth of large-scale, evidence-based, sustainable asthma home visiting programs. With guidance on topics such as Medicaid reimbursement opportunities and other financing options, developing a business case, scaling up, referrals and eligibility, staffing and training, supplies and services, community resources, and evaluation and reporting, each of the primary 10 eLearning modules offers a deeper look into some of the topics and strategies to consider while working to design and implement home-based asthma services.
Additionally, NCHH and a team of expert partners expanded these original eLearning offerings by developing a suite of mini-modules and technical assistance tools that expand the breadth of topics covered and translate shared technical assistance experiences into accessible, informal examples.
Mini-Module: Social Media and Social Networks
This video presentation highlights the connections between social media and health care and shows you how to use social media to advance your mission and engage your stakeholders.
Get Started
Log in to the eLearning website, enroll in the free course, and check out the section titled “Technical Assistance” and “Mini-Module: Social Media and Social Networks.” Under Technical Assistance, you will find many resources and tools related to implementation, including downloadable templates and worksheets.
Visit Unlocking the Power of Home-Based Asthma Services: Model Health Benefit Packages, a tool for managed care plans and allies describing the scope, staffing, and services associated with home-based asthma services that identify and address environmental asthma triggers in the home environment. The tool includes tiers of services (e.g., from a very basic set of services to more premium sets of services) to provide a range of options for payers at different levels of readiness to provide home-based asthma services and includes recommendations to support action from a range of critical stakeholders.
