In addition to the steps outlined in this guide, there are several state and national resources that can further assist in the development and implementation of an asthma home visiting program. To discuss specific questions or to learn more about Wisconsin’s Asthma-Safe Home Program contact DHSAsthmaSafeHomes@dhs.wisconsin.gov.

The following are additional resources to consider.

Once a health plan or health care organization develops the core components of the asthma home visiting program and is ready to start to implement the program it can follow these steps.

Health plans and health organizations can support the expansion of asthma home visiting services in their communities in multiple ways such as: building on an existing asthma management program to include home visits, developing a new program within the health plan or health care organization, or contracting with an organization that can provide the services to health plan members or patients.

Asthma is common and costly

Asthma is a common, chronic lung condition characterized by ongoing airway inflammation associated with increased airway responsiveness to a variety of triggers. In Wisconsin, approximately 582,000 adults and children are living with asthma. Asthma is a complex condition that requires a multifaceted approach to effective management at both the individual and population levels. Comprehensive asthma care includes a seamless alignment of the full array of services across the public health and health care continuum.
