Book excerpt: "The We Can Do Better asthma project used proven quality improvement (QI) techniques in a group setting at three regional meetings (Southeast, Midwest, and Northwest) held in November and December 2008. The goal of the project was to obtain information about ways to prevent and control asthma episodes. Participants included public health and health care professionals who worked with programs to prevent and control asthma episodes. This project sought to examine why better asthma outcomes were not being obtained, or at least not apparent, by identifying (1) strategies that worked to prevent and control asthma; (2) strategies that have failed to achieve desired results; (3) contextual characteristics (e.g. social, political, and community contexts) contributing to and/or facilitating success, and (4) contextual characteristics confounding desired results and/or success."--Page 4.
