Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical TrialA multisite randomized trial of the effects of physician education and organizational change in chronic-asthma care: health outcomes of the Pediatric Asthma Care Patient Outcomes Research Team II Study.
Traditional primary care practice change approaches have not led to full implementation of national asthma guidelines. ⋯ Planned care (nurse-mediated organizational change plus peer leader education) is an effective model for improving asthma care in the primary care setting. Peer leader education on its own may also serve as a useful model for improving asthma care, although it is less comprehensive and the treatment effect less pronounced.
