Training in the interdisciplinary care of children with asthma/development of programs to better treat asthma

The Merck Childhood Asthma Network (MCAN) partnered with The George Washington University (GW) School of Public Health and Health Services, the RCHN Community Health Foundation and Rho to implement the Community Healthcare for Asthma Management and Prevention of Symptoms (CHAMPS) project in three non-profit, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC).This initiative in community health centers (CHC) is designed to demonstrate how tailored, evidence-based asthma management programs proven efficacious in controlled trials, can be implemented in real-world settings where many children and families most in need get care.

Promotoras conduct home visits for children with asthma that were seen in CHMC's ER or hospitalized with asthma. They provide asthma education and remediation of potential asthma triggers in the home.

The In-home Pediatric Asthma Program uses home visits by an Asthma educator and a community health worker to provide education and interventions to reduce triggers to improve self-management of asthma by children and families, to improve quality of life, decrease missed days of school, unplanned doctor visits, use of emergency room, and hospital visits.

We are a large free-standing allergy and asthma clinic that provides state of the art asthma care incorporating asthma education as an essential component.

We are a community clinic that would like to incorporate asthma awareness through the clinic and community.
