Summary
This study tests a program to help doctors at community health centers prescribe a recommended asthma treatment called SMART (Single Maintenance and Reliever Therapy). The program includes training, feedback, and educational tools for both doctors and patients. Researchers will measure if this approach increases SMART prescriptions and reduces asthma attacks in 2,000 adults with moderate to severe asthma.

The study population can be viewed from the cluster (clinic), clinician, staff, or patient level. At the cluster (clinic) level: To be eligible to participate in this study, a cluster (clinic) must meet all the following criteria: (1) Clinics within participating health systems (Affinia Healthcare and Family Care Health Centers) will be considered eligible if they provided care to ≥100 patients aged ≥12 years with asthma (ICD-10-CM: J45.xx) during the calendar year preceding implementation (2024). At the clinician level: Clinicians will be considered eligible if they: 1. are physicians, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants; 2. are actively employed at a participating clinic during the implementation period; and 3. provided care to ≥10 patients aged ≥12 years with asthma (ICD-10-CM: J45.xx) during the 12 months preceding implementation. At the staff level: Staff will be considered eligible if they: 1. are actively employed at a participating clinic during the implementation period; and 2. directly support clinical care delivery for patients aged ≥12 years with asthma. At the patient level: Patients will be considered eligible if they: 1. are aged ≥12 years; 2. received care at a participating clinic during the implementation period; and (3) meet the study-defined definition of moderate-to-severe asthma based on diagnosis codes, medication use, and/or exacerbation history as defined in the study protocol.
