Asthma is common among the pediatric population. Exacerbations of this chronic condition can lead to emergency department visits and hospitalizations, resulting in time away from school. Children spend the majority of their day at school, where they may need access to quick relief medication to treat respiratory distress. Students' personal asthma medication is not always available in school. School nurses in Illinois collected data and undertook a quality improvement project to increase the number of schools in North Suburban Cook County with undesignated asthma medication. A toolkit was created and shared, helping to remediate barriers associated with obtaining undesignated asthma medication. With access to undesignated asthma medication, school nurses ensure students with asthma receive prompt treatment and coordination of care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
