Successful Partnerships just do it.& Promising Interventions
Missouri Asthma Coalition (MAC)
• Established in 2002• CDC grant support• 750 people in network• Partners include:
◊ School nurses◊ Childcare consultants◊ School board◊ Universities◊ Asthma coalitions◊ FQHCs◊ Health professionals◊ many, many more
• Interventions based on EPR3 - improve control and reduce risks and functional limitations
Missouri Asthma Coalition
Partnerships leveraged resources
MAPCP’s Role: Link statewide and local partnersOur Little Secret : Everyone is welcome, but MAPCP strategically builds partnerships to reach target population Our Purpose for Partnership: Leverage resources … to the max.
HOW DOES PARTNERSHIP IMPROVE ASTHMA CARE?• Interdisciplinary Sharing: Expertise and resources
• Coordination: Activities are planned and implemented together
• Innovation: New ideas and collaborations are fostered between stakeholders
• Priorities: Partners set priorities for surveillance and interventions
• Relevance: Key asthma issues move to forefront of systems-based strategies and public health planning
Note:CDC’s $3.4 million investment in MAPCP (2001-2011) has helped produce a >$20 million investment from MAPCP partners in activities aligned with the State Plan Putting Excellent Asthma Care Within Reach.

• Medical Homes and Asthma Ready® Clinics (ARC)- Comprehensive care in the context of individual, cultural, and
community needs: ARC address individual patient and family goals each clinic visit and refers to community partners for continuity of care
- Emphasize education through system-level protocols and interpersonal interactions:
Asthma Ready Educator uses standardized asthma literacy education tools for patients and families and validated assessment protocols for transmitting actionable data-At the center of the Medical/Health Home are the patient and family and their relationship with the primary care team
Asthma Ready care is delivered by a team, composed of a clinic provider and a nurse trained as an asthma educator

Promoting Asthma Self-Care and Improving Coordination of School Services and Clinical Care
• IMPACT Asthma Kids© – a multimedia, self management education program for students and parents (recognized by
NIH as 1 of 3 evidence-based computer approaches)
• Teaming Up for Asthma Control© – an IMPACT derivative for asthma literacy, funded by CDC, uses a standardized student
assessment to guide school nurse documentation of actionable asthma data
• Assessment– functional impairment (selected items from the Children’s Health Survey for Asthma, American Academy of
Pediatrics)
– FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in one second) – inhalation technique– recognition and adherence to ICS medications for messaging parents & primary
care providers

TUAC Evaluation Methods and Initial Results
• Pre-Post TUAC intervention outcome indicators for these children were derived from 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011
Medicaid data:– asthma outpatient visits – ER visits and hospitalizations– medication claims– per member per month (PMPM) categorical costs
• Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) attendance and achievement records
• Analysis for 87 children: After TUAC intervention FEV1 significantly improved by 14.7%, inhalation technique improved significantly, student-reported impairment and smoke exposure declined significantly.

New, Compelling Asthma Outcome Variables
• ACD Acute Care Day Score ACD is defined as the number of days
of acute care for asthma in a given time period
If ACD = 6– 6 ER visits
– 6 inpatient days or – 3 ER visits & 3 inpatient days
®
just do it.
New, Compelling Asthma Outcome Variables
• POPT – Proportion (P) of Outpatient
visits (OP) to Total visits (T) including OP, ER visits & inpatient days
– expressed from 0 to1 – where
• “0” is the worst case scenario (no outpatient visits, all asthma
encounters are in acute care settings) • “1” is the best case
scenario (only OP visits)
Example
1 OP visit and 9 ER visits
1 OP / 1 OP + 9 ER =
0.1 POPT
Or Only 10% of asthma encounters
were outpatient visits

New, Compelling Asthma Outcome Variables
• DPR Daily Possession Rate
• Average daily amount of drug (i.e., inhaled corticosteroids) available over a dispensing interval
• Charting ACD, POPT & DPR to model opportunities for family member, PCP and school nurse messaging
• These claims data are available within one month of event for timely actions

New, Compelling Asthma Outcome Variables
• DPR charts change trajectory of care
• Micrograms of asthma medication and EPR3 ICS dose ranges are plotted on the y axis by EPR3 guidelines
– by age, sub-therapeutic, low, medium, high or very high
• Asthma ACD (ED and IP days) are plotted on the x axis (time)
• POPT is calculated and displayed. DPR graphed by actual dispensing interval, by year & 90 day
• Trajectory of delivered asthma health care can be analyzed and appropriate interventions prompted by messaging members, PCPs and school nurses

• Per member per month costs for children ages 5-18 was $1044 for 134 patients of an EPR3-compliant practice in 2010.
• EPR3-treated group costs were 9.6% higher for ICS medication costs and 23% higher costs for treating co-morbid conditions when compared to population mean.
• However the total asthma direct costs were 4.7% lower for EPR3-treated group.
• Remarkably, total asthma medication costs were 33% lower and total cost of care was 30% lower for the EPR3-treated patient group.

LOCAL STRATEGY EXAMPLEFramework for Community-based Approaches to Improving Asthma Care for Children
– Simple, to-the-point, one-page summary– Sets goals and interventions for integrating efforts in five areas:
schools, home environment assessments, primary care providers, hospitals/emergency rooms, and child care
KEY CONCEPTS1. Demonstrate success at local level
– Kennett Public Schools (Dunklin County)– Springfield (Greene County)
2. Experience, testimonials and data drive expansion of successful ideas
3. Identify statewide policy change opportunities through community-based work (e.g., spacers)
4. Statewide workforce development produces system-level change (e.g., LPHA staff, school nurses)
5. Cultivate local leadership– Asthma School Nurse Award, Missouri Asthma Coalition
