The "Asthma Disease Management Resource Manual" was created to assist health care organizations and individual practitioners in the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of asthma. The manual includes patient guidelines, checklists, treatment algorithms and therapy recommendations. Particular emphasis is given to patient self-care and monitoring, as well as the psychosocial factors that may have an impact on the disease.

The handbook "Asthma Management and the Allergist: Better Outcomes at Lower Cost" includes abstracted and summarized data documenting that treatment outcomes are better and costs are lower when allergists directly provide asthma care or coordinate a care team, compared to when an allergist is not involved.
