Asthma: Peak Your Performance Using a Novel Digital Tool
In this session, attendees will learn about the Provider Asthma Assessment Form (PAAF), a digital tool that supports adherence with evidence-based asthma guidelines. The session will focus on how use of this e-form within your practice enables high-quality documentation, performance measurement, and quality improvement. We will demonstrate the functionality of the embedded severe asthma algorithm and decision support. Lastly, we will highlight the results and lessons learned from implementation in a primary healthcare team.
