Asthma

• The National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) practice guidelines. CareSource endorses these standards. The full manual of guidelines is available from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
• Two documentation tools for use in patient medical charts. The Asthma Management Progress Note and the Asthma Management Quarterly Progress Note. CareSource developed these forms to provide guidance in the assessment of asthma during patient encounters.
• Member asthma profiles for physicians. These individual patient profiles include details about recent member asthma care history to help providers determine the best course of treatment. View a sample profile here.

• Asthma Patient Action Plan forms for members and their physicians to complete together. These help ensure patients understand your recommended treatment plan and promote patient self-care management.

• Case management services focused on member health assessment, coordination of care, education and support.  

Please contact us if you have asthmatic CareSource patients who could benefit from these services. Just call 1-800-488-0134 and follow the menu prompts to speak to someone in case management. We appreciate your active participation in the development of treatment plans.
