Hot Topics in Asthma: Increasing Control and Preventing Exacerbations
This series is provided by Integritas Communications.
This series is supported by an educational grant from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals.
Program Overview
Although asthma treatments are widely available, between one-third and one-half of patients continue to have symptoms that regularly interfere with everyday life. These asthma-related symptoms and exacerbations result in almost 2 million emergency department visits each year, which often lead to inpatient hospital stays. Thus, there is a clear need for ongoing education about asthma management, particularly when there are significant changes in treatment recommendations or therapeutic options. In this Hot Topics series, an expert faculty will provide focused education on: 1) best practices for assessing asthma control, 2) the latest evidence regarding new rescue inhaler therapies, and 3) updates to recommendations for as-needed inhaler therapy use. Utilizing an engaging delivery format that combines graphics and video, this educational series meets the needs of busy clinician learners who wish to stay current on the evolving asthma treatment landscape.
Target Audience
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of allergy/clinical immunology and pulmonology clinicians involved in the management of patients with severe asthma.
