What this trial studies
This study aims to implement and evaluate the Coach McLungsSM shared decision-making intervention for asthma management in primary care settings. The intervention includes virtual education and clinical decision support tailored for asthma patients aged 5-17. By assessing uncontrolled asthma and related exacerbations, the study seeks to improve communication and decision-making between patients and healthcare providers. The implementation will occur across Atrium Health, a large healthcare system, integrating the intervention into electronic medical records to enhance accessibility and effectiveness.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are children and adolescents aged 5-17 with established asthma who can communicate in English or Spanish.
Not a fit: Patients who are decisional impaired or mentally incompetent may not benefit from this intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could lead to improved asthma management and outcomes for pediatric patients.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that shared decision-making approaches can improve asthma outcomes, indicating potential success for this intervention.
