Fixing the Asthma Register (Project ONE of TWO)
This is the first of two projects, which involves a review of the Asthma register; identifying patients with the appropriate evidence for their diagnosis in their notes, patients who may have Asthma but need further confirmatory testing, and those who do not have Asthma and should be removed from the register.
Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 76.3% adult patients and 67.4% children and young adult patients on the Asthma registers have evidence of any tests results that can be used to support their diagnosis.
This QI project is aimed at primary care teams who have a register of Asthma patients.
The Asthma Diagnostic Review (Project TWO of TWO)
This is the second of two projects, which involves inviting patients in for a review of the Asthma diagnosis if they don’t have any record of any diagnostic tests.
Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 76.3% adult patients and 67.4% children and young adult patients on the Asthma registers have evidence of any tests results that can be used to support their diagnosis.
This QI project is aimed at primary care teams who have a register of Asthma patients.
Paediatric Asthma Annual Review
This QI project will ensure that every patient is asked about their exposure to second hand smoke and their parent’s offered Very Brief Advice.
Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggests that less than 1% patients on the paediatric asthma registers have been asked about their exposure to second hand smoke.
This QI project is aimed at primary care teams who have a register of Paediatric Asthma patients.
Promote online Asthma Action Plan resources (Project ONE of TWO)
This is the first of two projects, which involves targeting all patients on the Asthma register and letting them know about the digital resources available that will provide them with a digital Personalised Asthma Action Plan.
Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 16.1% 1-5 year olds, 24.3% 6-18 years olds, and 25.9% adults have any record of a personalised Asthma Action Plan in their records. If a patient has a personalised asthma action plan, they are four times less likely to be admitted to hospital with an asthma attack.
This QI project is aimed at primary care teams who have a register of Asthma patients.
The Asthma Annual Review (Project TWO of TWO)
This is the second of two projects, which involves reviewing a patient’s Personalised Asthma Action Plan during their next Asthma Review.
Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 16.1% 1-5 year olds, 24.3% 6-18 years olds, and 25.9% adults have any record of a personalised Asthma Action Plan in their records. If a patient has a personalised asthma action plan, they are four times less likely to be admitted to hospital with an asthma attack.
This QI project is aimed at primary care teams who have a register of Asthma patients.
Promote online inhaler technique resources (Project ONE of TWO)
This is the first of two projects, which involves targeting all patients on the Asthma and COPD registers and letting them know about the digital resources available which demonstrate correct inhaler technique.
Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 44.4% patients on the COPD and Asthma registers have had their inhaler technique checked.
This QI project is aimed at primary care teams who have a register of Asthma and COPD patients.
The Asthma and COPD Annual Review (Project TWO of TWO)
This is the second of two projects in the series, which involves checking the inhaler technique of all patients with Asthma and COPD.
Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 44.4% patients on the COPD and Asthma registers have had their inhaler technique checked.
This QI project is aimed at primary care teams who have a register of Asthma and COPD patients.
