Improving Asthma Outcomes Through Spirometry Distance Learning
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Asthma
In brief
Spirometry is a recommended component of asthma diagnosis and treatment in the primary care setting, yet few providers report its routine use for children with asthma. Misclassification of asthma severity occurs when assessment is based on symptoms alone. This misclassification can lead to inadequate treatment, increased morbidity, and increased healthcare utilization/cost. The goal of this study is to test the effectiveness of a distance learning quality improvement program called Spirometry 360 developed by the interactive Medical Training Resources (iMTR) group at the University of Washington Child Health Institute. The Spirometry 360 program aims to improve care for children with asthma by enhancing provider knowledge and self-efficacy related to the use and interpretation of office-based spirometry.
