SECONDARY CONSIDERATIONS
health status affects educa�onal a�ainment
What We Learned about Schools (beyond the obvious … that children are located there)
IMPORTANT ATTRIBUTES OF SCHOOLS FOR ASTHMA PROGRAMMING
huge social service agency a�endance and safety are priori�es access to parents (but involvement
wanes as the child ages) longitudinal access and data (on most
kids) primarily func�on as care coordinators
(not as care providers) schools are community organizers
Note: Our direct experience comes from partnering with mostly rural and suburban schools statewide.
ENVIROCLINICAL integrating environmental and clinical approaches to improve asthma care
philosophy matters
Behind the plans and interven�ons are people who share a common vision for asthma care and preven�on in Missouri.
The MAPCP team believes that… EPR3 is the best evidence available. Evalua�on is a quality improvement strategy. Health dispari�es can be reduced. Rela�onships ma�er to develop and sustain successful interven�ons. Data guides, and innova�on drives impac�ul work. Return-‐on-‐investment is measureable.
ENVIROCLINICAL integrating environmental and clinical approaches to improve asthma care
Framework for Community-‐based Approaches to Improving Asthma Care for Children – Simple, to-‐the-‐point, one-‐page
summary – Sets goals and interven�ons for
integra�ng efforts in five areas: schools, home environment assessments, primary care providers, hospitals/emergency rooms, and child care
