Abstract

Asthma affects over 22 million people in the United States and leads to more than 497,000 hospital admissions annually. Given this significant healthcare burden, asthma is often the focus of quality improvement initiatives. An important part of any of these initiatives is the use of performance or quality measures to track progress. Currently there are at least 40 asthma-specific measures in use. Of these 40, the National Quality Forum endorses nine measures. In addition to these measures, there are several others of importance due to regulatory and reimbursement considerations.
