Interactive Asthma Action Plan (iAAP) The Minnesota Department of Health's Asthma Program recently launched a new, interactive Asthma Action Plan (iAAP), a computerized clinical decision support tool for licensed health care providers who treat patients with asthma. The iAAP assists asthma providers/prescribers in determining the appropriate severity and asthma control, using the EPR-3 Guidelines, and also supports effective self management by creating patient-specific asthma action plans in English and Spanish. There are four available versions of the iAAP: web-based, desktop, network and electronic health record. You are welcome to personalize it by adding your name and/or logo in the empty space provided.
