Help Kids Breathe Easier with Peers and Expert Asthma Collaboration
Under the leadership of national QI expert Paul Miles MD, Asthma 2 – Asthma Care Accelerator QI ECHO received recognition as “Quality Improvement Project of the Year, 2019-2020”, by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
Each participant is required to deliver 2 cases for Asthma 1 Essentials as part of MOC completion. This generates some high-quality cases. True to the ECHO model, Asthma 2 – QI/MOC: Asthma Care Accelerator participants grow at an accelerated pace, adopting on average eight new best asthma practices.
ACA meets a total of eight Tuesdays, from noon to 1 p.m., in March, April, July and August.
