How to Improve Asthma Management

In America alone, 25 million people are living with asthma—one of the most common and costly diseases with no cure.1 This respiratory condition can be accompanied by transient or chronic symptoms that significantly impact quality of life. In the past, healthcare providers approached asthma treatment by focusing on the severity of a patient’s asthma. With the emphasis now on controlling asthma, clinicians continue to evolve diagnosis and treatment practices, using the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Guidelines to inform their care.

Monitoring the status of patient asthma conditions is primarily performed through clinician assessment and patient self-assessment. But some asthma testing techniques present challenges that make it difficult to determine appropriate therapies or assess the impact of delivered treatments. Using validated patient-reported outcome (PRO) surveys and observer-reported outcome (ObsRo) surveys, both physicians and researchers can obtain information on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) through the direct perspectives of patients or their caregivers. When these simple clinical outcome assessment (COA) questionnaires are specific to diseases like asthma, they become valuable HRQoL measurement strategies, capturing data on functional health, well-being, symptoms, environmental stimuli and more. With COA health surveys, providers can make intelligent care decisions and researchers can support the development and testing of new treatments.
