Summary
The overall goal of this research study is to evaluate a multi-level program called PRAGMATIC-S to improve the delivery of guideline-based asthma care through a unique partnership between clinical practices and schools. PRAGMATIC-S represents a novel approach that addresses multiple barriers to adherence by bridging primary care and schools, ensuring delivery of guideline-based asthma care to urban children across these settings thereby improving adherence to therapy and clinical outcomes.
Detailed Description
The research team will conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial, enrolling 420 children, ages 4-12, from 18 Montefiore clinics during office visits. Children in the intervention group (PRAGMATIC-S) will receive updated guideline-based care prompts, with providers completing the medication administration form (MAF), electronically signing it, and routing it directly to the school via the EHR system. Asthma Outreach Worker (AOW) care coordination will support daily adherence to prescribed treatments at home and school. Children in the control group will receive enhanced usual care, which includes EHR prompts for guideline-based care but without the additional PRAGMATIC-S components. Participants will be followed for 12 months. Outcomes will be assessed as outlined in this registration.
