Home Assessment

Posted on: 30 July 2019 By: klosecall

Does the Home Assessment include surveying the exposure to outdoor air (i.e. status of windows/doors).  Does the Home Assessment survey the outdoor exposures in close proximity (300 yards) to the home?  For example, what if crops are fertilized or crop dusted and are in close proximity to the home?  Folks are always talking about only 15% of time is spent outdoors.  However, patients carry in exposures into the home; whether pollen, VOC's, etc.

 

Is It Time for a Patient-Centered Quality Measure of Asthma Control?

Quality measures play a prominent role in the US health care system. They are used to monitor and report performance across health plans, providers, and health systems and are a foundational element of value-based payment.

IAQ in Schools

Posted on: 23 May 2019 By: PMcCaull

How does one motivate a school district to care about indoor air quality and eliminate asthma triggers in the classroom? I'm in Arizona.  The admin is not informed so they don't understand the problem. I see all the wonderful resources that teachers and students can use to understand about asthma and good respiratory health. They study the body systems but don't reinforce good health practices with it. They don't understand chemistry. very frustrating so I hope to learn how to serve my call to action with great examples from the webinar today.
