I'd like to know more about the types of staff (licensed and non-licensed) used in the implementation of the quality improvement program. For example, what are the qualifications of those who work with the primary clinics? Who conducts the home assessments? 

Thanks!

Are any of the patients covered by the ALA/HCSC's quality improvement program enrolled in Medicaid? 

Did any of the interventions engage the use of technology creatively such as a mobile app for asthma management or the like.

What incentives do you use to recruit clinics to the long 12 month long QI project?

Were any of the interventions related to the identification of outdoor weather and environmental exposures that impact asthma patients?

Pre-school age children with asthma have a higher rate of ER visits and hospitalization than school age children.  Do you have data for that age group?

Exposure of patients who have asthma to allergens to which they are sensitive has been shown to increase asthma symptoms and precipitate asthma exacerbations. 

For patients with persistent asthma, the clinician should evaluate the potential role of allergens, particularly indoor inhalant allergens.  Use in-vitro testing or skin testing to reliably determine sensitivity to perennial indoor inhalant allergens to which the patient is exposed.

*Has this component of the guideline been addressed?

What was the reduction in hospitalization and ED percent based on, i.e. 56% reduction of their own history or was there a comparison group who did not receive the intervention?

what were the average home remediation costs per patient, and what did they include?

(mold, IPM, etc)
