Good Asthma Review
In this article first published in Primary Care Respiratory Update in 2016 as a poster for primary care and updated for asthma in November 2019 we discuss the building blocks of a good asthma review focusing on:-
- Assessing control to target care
- Reviewing diagnosis and management
- Confirmation of diagnosis
- Previous medical history
- Patient understanding
- Checking inhaler technique
- Discussing and reviewing adherence to therapy
- Checking smoking status and offering appropriate smoking cessation advice where appropriate
- Reviewing lifestyle and asthma triggers
- Reviewing other conconitant conditions
- Reviewing treatment in line with national guidance
- Reviewing and discussing asthma action plan
- Tailoring asthma action plan to meet patient's needs and setting agreed goals
- Utilising Asthma Right Care tools to assess reliance on short-acting beta-2-agonsts
