Understanding Key Elements of Effective Clinical Decision Support Building an Asthma Clinical Decisi

Presenter: Anna Gard This workshop outlines the development of an electronic asthma clinical decision support tool integrating the 2007 National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) Asthma Guidelines aimed to improve the quality of asthma management in the medical home model. Electronic reporting capabilities can measure the tool's impact on asthma management, health outcomes, and health disparities. This tool can serve as a prototype for other clinical decision support tools for the electronic health record, personal health record and mobile devices. This project is part of an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Indoor Air Quality Grant in collaboration with Association of Clinicians for the Underserved (ACU) and Alliance of Chicago.
