• Promote physical fitness and nutrition for
children with asthma
• Help address socioeconomic barriers to wellbeing
Principle 4: Coordinated Care
• Integrate care across the community
• Use information technology
▫ Asthma registry
▫ Electronic health record
 Performance and outcomes measures
 Accountability
• Refer to specialist, if needed
• Transition teens to adult care
Care Coordination: Key Components
• Visit planning, referral services, follow-up
• Assists with equipment needs (eg, local suppliers for
environmental controls, spacers, nebulizers, oximeters)
• Collaborates with other providers (eg, specialists,
school nurse, etc)
• Maintains a centralized database (paper or electronic)
of local resources
• Connects families to support networks
▫ Family-to-family health information centers (F2F HICs)
▫ Community asthma education

Care Coordination:
Collaboration/Co-management
with Specialists
• Bridges to service
▫ Between primary care and specialist
▫ Between multiple specialists and medical home
•
