PACE works!  PACE is an interactive, multi-media educational seminar with practical communication and therapeutic techniques for asthma care that require no more time than the usual office visit. PACE is highly effective as shown in two rigorous studies, one supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the other by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Patients of PACE-trained physicians (compared with physicians not exposed to PACE) had:

  •  fewer days affected by asthma symptoms
  •  fewer emergency room visits

PACE has new, expanded features. Highlights include six guidelines-based priority messages that every physician should know, and useful coding and reimbursement strategies for asthma education and counseling.

Register below. Join us for this informative one-hour webinar presented by the creators of PACE and learn how you can use this successful program in your practice and in your local community.
