The Child Asthma Link Line: A Coalition-initiated, Telephone-based, Care Coordination Intervention for Childhood Asthma

Abstract

This coalition-developed, telephone-based, system-level intervention had a significant impact on childhood asthma morbidity as measured by utilization endpoints of follow-up hospitalizations and emergency department visits. Telephone-based care coordination and service integration may be a viable and economic way to impact childhood asthma and other chronic diseases.
