Asthma Guidelines
Statement from the Canadian Asthma Management Consensus Summary:
“Asthma education is an essential component of asthma management for all patients. Guided self-management, combining asthma education, regular medical review, self-assessment and a written action plan have been shown to reduce hospitalizations, emergency visits, urgent physician visits, missed days at work or school, days of restricted activity and improved pulmonary function in children and adults.” -
