Asthma Education by a Pharmacist in Patients with Mild to Moderate Persistent Asthma Improves Quality of Life Outcome Scores

Abstract

PURPOSE: In addition to a multi-disciplinary Asthma Center, our institution also has a “modified Asthma Center” (MAC) for patients with less severe asthma referred by their primary care physician. The MAC involves intensive patient education by a trained pharmacist (LM). We measured quality of life outcomes at baseline, one month and six months to determine whether patients showed improvement.
