Hear from Dr. Lugogo on why QI is essential for impactful care of patients with severe asthma:
QI programs are valuable to clinical practice because they allow us to pause and take a minute to determine whether our patients are getting the best quality care. They allow clinicians to have a moment of introspection about how patients are doing, to learn cutting edge information, and to determine what steps should be taken to implement practice change to improve patient outcomes.
