Implementing An Asthma Home Visit Program 10 Steps To Help Health Plans Get Started

Implementing An Asthma Home Visit Program 10 Steps To Help Health Plans Get Started Summary:

  Implementing An Asthma Home Visit Program 10 Steps To Help Health Plans Get Started (2005)
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Ten Steps to Help Health Plans Get Started is based on the experiences of several health plans that implemented home visit programs as part of their comprehensive asthma management programs. It provides a step-by-step framework that any health plan could follow to design, implement, and evaluate an asthma home visit program. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has launched a nationwide asthma public education and prevention program. The goal of this program is to make the public and the medical community more aware of environmental asthma triggers and simple ways to reduce exposure to these triggers, especially at home. Along with proper medical treatment, effective management of environmental triggers in the home can reduce the number and severity of an individual’s asthma episodes. This reduction may result in fewer emergency room visits and hospitalizations, increasing a person’s quality of life and reducing health plans’ cost of care. Home visits are one way to give enrollees the tools they need to address their asthma effectively as part of a comprehensive disease management program incorporating medical and environmental management techniques. EPA developed this guide with input from seven health care organizations that offer asthma home visits as part of their comprehensive asthma management programs. It incorporates their experiences establishing and operating home visit programs, and reflects their belief in the value, both to the enrollees and to the health insurer, of such programs.
