The need for proper education related to pediatric asthma management and physician follow-up post emergency room visits is vital. This is made evident in the study conducted by Flores, Abreu, Korman, and Meurer (2005). Flores et al. researched the parents' and physicians' perspectives on the prevention of pediatric asthma-related hospitalizations via a cross-sectional survey of parents, primary care providers, and attending physicians in the hospital. Results showed that parents were significantly less likely than the physician groups to believe that the hospitalization could have been prevented. These findings suggest that more parental education regarding the prevention of pediatric asthma hospitalization is required, including avoidance of known disease triggers and adherence to a medication regimen. Results also showed a delayed or lack of follow-up care as a cause of preventable hospitalization according to the physician groups. Because the parents failed to recognize this as a cause, parents need to be educated regarding the importance of follow-up visits.
