Design of the asthma treat smart system in a pediatric institution.
Asthma is one of the most common chronic pediatric conditions. Providing evidence-based, guideline-appropriate care for asthma is complex. A computerized system may help providers with guideline compliance. The AsthmaTreatSmart application is a stand-alone web-based system developed in Pulmonary medicine with a multidisciplinary team based on national asthma guidelines. The application collects history and symptom information to assign a severity categorization. Medication reconciliation of asthma medications is performed with input from the patient. Severity and medication recommendation are provided for the provider. A personalized action plan and medication summary including medications, etc. is created. The system is successfully used in 6 outpatient clinics and current work is focused on integration with the electronic health record.
