Strategy 2.2
Improve access to home-based support, including tailored patient education, case
management, environmental assessment of the home to identify triggers, and
resources for remediation.
Tactic: CHCO will implement Just Keep Breathing, a program to provide home
visits for asthma patients at high risk for exacerbations. If this program is shown
to be successful, we will consider adapting to other patients at risk for acute
respiratory illness.
Setting / Delivery Mechanism
Home – Community Health Workers can provide tailored asthma health
education information and environmental assessment in the home. Additionally,
they will connect families with available resources that exist within CHCO and
the community.
