[Developing a hospital-based asthma case management program].
The case management model, on the basis of current trends, is likely to be the main model for caring for chronic disease in the future. Since 2001, asthma care has been covered under chronic disease-management by Taiwan's Health Insurance Bureau. But there is no report describing a hospital-based asthma case management program. The purposes of this essay were to develop a hospital-based asthma case management model and introduce the procedures for this model: recruitment, monitoring, implementation, evaluation and follow-up. This model can be used as the standard case management model for caring for children with chronic asthma.
