Abstract

The Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) uses the asthma medication ratio (AMR) to measure care across health settings for persistent asthma. HEDIS criteria requires a restrictive asthma definition to identify children for analysis. A low AMR (<0.5) has been used to assess asthma control and is associated with poorer control and adverse outcomes. High AMR (=>0.5) conveys better outcomes. In Arkansas, when compared to the nation, children overall have higher asthma burden. This disparity is most apparent in racial and ethnic minority children.
