This presentation will discuss:
Poor asthma control is not necessarily due to patient non-adherence. Asthma is a chronic health condition and while guidelines and medications may assist in the diagnosis and treatment of asthma there are many other factors involved in achieving and sustaining good asthma control. Teresa will share some of the common issues that can lead to poor asthma control, some strategies to identify and overcome these and why ongoing
patient review and education is important.
