Abstract
Patients with severe asthma comprise 5% to 10% of the patient population with asthma, but they use 60% of treatment costs. As a result of high morbidity and mortality rates and frequent health care use, these patients are commonly encountered in primary care settings. Treatment is complex and often requires an interdisciplinary approach to reduce risks, treat comorbidities, optimize medications, and to engage patients in care. Through early diagnosis, patient education, the provision of standard of care asthma management, and close collaboration with specialists, nurse practitioners can facilitate timely and comprehensive treatment that can improve patient outcomes.
