The management of childhood asthma through care pathways
Article Abstract:
North Tyneside Healthcare NHS Trust is using a multidisciplinary care pathway process to manage asthma in children. The initiative began in the district general hospital, and meant parents and ward staff cooperating to draw up a multidisciplinary pathway which was used as a multidisciplinary care plan. Nurses and doctors monitor the pathway and record what care they have provided, while the child and family receive a personal management plan. The process has also been taken into the community, involving groups including health visitors, GPs and district nurses.
