Asthma education. The basic component of asthma health management is to provide education on asthma for community dwellers and asthma patients.
On a regular basis, continued medical education delivered to general practitioners and other health care providers at primary care settings needs to address the topics on asthma care management and skills for physician-patient interaction, so as to ensure the efficiency of physician-initiated education for patients and their families.
Ultimately, asthma education aims to render better understanding and knowledge of the disease, to improve health-caring, to increase patient satisfaction and their confidence, compliance, and self-management, as well as to reduce medical costs.
