School-based Asthma Management Program (SAMPRO™)
American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology
|
Improving health and school-related outcomes for children with asthma requires integrated care coordination among families, clinicians and school nurses. To help facilitate this, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) recently introduced the School-based Asthma Management Program (SAMPRO™). SAMPRO standardizes recommendations for school-based asthma management and provides useful resources for the care of children with asthma in schools.
