Central to the national Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma is the recommendation that clinicians develop a written asthma action plan in partnership with patient/family.
RAMP has provided free Asthma Action Plans in multiple languages for over two decades. We work with our clinical partners to update the Asthma Action Plans periodically to ensure that they are consistent with clinical guidelines and practice.
We are pleased to share an updated version of RAMP’s Asthma Action Plan. The most recent update includes:
- Adjustments to the medication instructions to accommodate Single Maintenance and Reliever Therapy (SMART)
- An updated, more comprehensive list of asthma triggers that includes images
- Information about asthma home visiting services for patients with poorly controlled asthma
We are currently piloting the updated version in English only. Please take a look, use it with your patients, and let us know if you have feedback by emailing RAMP’s Director, Anne Kelsey Lamb. Later, we’ll translate the updated version into additional languages.
