Colorado Asthma Toolkit Implementation Improves Some Process Measures of Asthma Care.

Background

The Colorado Asthma Toolkit Program (CATP) has been shown to improve processes of care with less evidence demonstrating improved outcomes.

Objective

To model the association between pre-and-post-CATP status and asthma-related process and outcome measures among patients ages 5 to 64 years receiving care in safety-net primary care practices.
