[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] Comparative Effectiveness of Asthma Interventions Within an AHRQ PBRN [Institution] CAROLINAS MEDICAL CENTER [Amount] $0 [Summary] This project will develop a centralized database for comparative effectiveness research using hospital as well as community data in order to evaluate three interventions implemented with the goal of improving asthma outcomes within 75 practices and 171 schools in North and South Carolina. The interventions will include: (1) an integrated care model with an electronic medical record decision support system, an electronic asthma action plan, links to community resources, and training in practice redesign and rapid cycle process improvement; (2) a shared decision making intervention for underserved community members designed to enhance patient input in the development of the treatment plan and improve self-management; and (3) a school-based intervention lead by school nurses with links to primary care providers. Results from this study and the means to implement the interventions in everyday clinical settings will be disseminated across the state via the statewide AHRQ practice-based research networks and area health education centers.
