NCT02190617

Brief Summary

The primary hypothesis the investigators will test is that that improving asthma guideline implementation and providing patients with a unified asthma management plan using a multi-component and multilevel intervention will improve patient-centered asthma outcomes compared to health plan case management, passive guideline dissemination and provider education.

Interventions

* Unified asthma management plan and asthma support team coordination: A support team will partner with each patient to develop a single asthma management plan. An EMR will provide a web-based platform for sharing the unified asthma management plan. * Home visit intervention: Community health workers will provide in-home tailored asthma support and conduct follow-up to support patient actions to improve asthma control based on unified asthma management plan. * Enhanced clinic intervention: Intervention clinics will implement a multicomponent intervention that will include decision support, audit and feedback, provider and staff education, asthma champions, team-based care, and spirometry, all supported by EMR enhancements and clinic systems redesign.

Also known as: -Enhanced Clinic, -CHW Home Visits, -Unified Management plan
Enhanced Clinic+ Unified Plan+ CHW

* Unified asthma management plan and asthma support team coordination: A support team (clinicians, CHWs and plan care managers) will partner with each patient to develop a single asthma management plan. An EMR will provide a web-based platform for sharing the unified asthma management plan and enhancing communications among care team. * Enhanced clinic intervention: Intervention clinics will implement a multicomponent intervention that will include decision support, audit and feedback, provider and staff education, asthma champions, team-based care, and spirometry, all supported by EMR enhancements and clinic systems redesign.

Also known as: -Unified Management Plan, -Enhanced Clinic Intervention
Enhanced Clinic+ Unified Management Plan

-Home visit intervention: Community health workers will provide in-home tailored asthma support: assess asthma self-management knowledge and skills, conduct a home environmental assessment focused on asthma triggers, and conduct follow-up visits to support patient actions to improve asthma control based on unified asthma management plan.

Also known as: -CHW Home Visit Intervention
CHW Home Visit Only
