This book was released on 2002-05-07 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One-liner: A set of policy recommendations to promote the development and maintenance of communities in which children with asthma can be swiftly diagnosed, effectively treated, and protected from exposure to harmful environmental factors. An estimated 5 million U.S. children have asthma. Too many of these children are unnecessarily impaired. Much of the money spent on asthma is for high-cost health care services to treat acute periods of illness. Many asthma attacks could be avoided--and much suffering prevented and many medical costs saved--if more children received good-quality, ongoing asthma care and if the 11 policy recommendations presented in this report were implemented in a oordinated fashion. A national call to action, the policy recommendations span public and private interests and compel integration of public health activities across local, state, and federal levels. This report summarizes the findings of an effort funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as part of the Pediatric Asthma Initiative, whose purpose is to address current gaps in national childhood asthma care. It is the first national initiative that simultaneously addresses treatment, policy, and financing issues for children with asthma at the patient, provider, and institutional levels. The purpose of RAND's effort was to:--identify a range of policy actions in both the public and private sectors that could improve childhood asthma outcomes nationwide--select a subset of policies to create a blueprint for national policy in this area--outline alternatives to implement these policies that build on prior efforts.The effort developed a comprehensive policy framework that maps the identified strategies to one overall policy objective: to promote the development and maintenance of asthma-friendly communities--communities in which children with asthma are swiftly diagnosed, receive appropriate and ongoing treatment, and are not exposed to environmental factors that exacerbate their condition. This report is intended as a working guide for coordinating the activities of both public and private organizations at the federal, state, and local community levels.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the first researchers to specifically use the term 'outcome' in the context of health care was Donabedian, who defined health outcomes as 'a change in patients' current and future health status that can be attributed to antecedent health care' (Donabedian,1980). Until recently, methods adopted to assess quality of life as an outcome of health were described in non-specific terms, and reflect superficial understanding of this vital outcome. Fortunately, a great deal of advancement has been made in constructing instruments with emphasis on their accuracy as outcome measurement tools. This dissertation describes the work conducted to asses the psychometric performance and measurement properties (in terms of validity, reliability and responsiveness) of an asthma-specific outcome measure in New Zealand (the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ)). The validation process was conducted using pharmaceutical care provided by trained pharmacists as an intervention aiming at improving asthma outcomes, specifically the patients' quality of life.

Download or read book Severe Asthma written by Kian Fan Chung and published by European Respiratory Society. This book was released on 2019-06-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Severe asthma is a form of asthma that responds poorly to currently available medication, and its patients represent those with greatest unmet needs. In the last 10 years, substantial progress has been made in terms of understanding some of the mechanisms that drive severe asthma; there have also been concomitant advances in the recognition of specific molecular phenotypes. This ERS Monograph covers all aspects of severe asthma – epidemiology, diagnosis, mechanisms, treatment and management – but has a particular focus on recent understanding of mechanistic heterogeneity based on an analytic approach using various ‘omics platforms applied to clinically well-defined asthma cohorts. How these advances have led to improved management targets is also emphasised. This book brings together the clinical and scientific expertise of those from around the world who are collaborating to solve the problem of severe asthma.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aims of this report are to review the evidence of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for people with heart failure and to provide recommendations to the Department of Health of PROMs for heart failure that could potentially be used on a large scale population basis, combining good measurement properties with the likelihood of modest burden to respondents in order not to jeopardise response rates. A literature review of relevant PROMs resulted in the identification of a short-list of both generic and heart failure-specific instruments which were then presented to a multidisciplinary panel for discussion. The literature review of the evidence-base and the discussions of the multi-disciplinary panel underpin final recommendations to the Department of Health.
