A good quality improvement study done in a British hospital, which measured outcomes and quality of care measures for patients with asthma before and after implementation of a QI measure. Ensuring adequate follow-up for patients with asthma at discharge and using the hospitalization as a teaching point for inhaler technique and disease management is an important but under-used tool (especially in the hospitals I work at). The limitations of the study includes a small sample size that significantly hampers the drawing of defintive conclusions regarding the ampltitude of the intervention effect. The lack of robust statistical analysis leads one to consider the performance of a similar audit with a larger number of patients over a longer time period. 

Treat patients with Asthma, both in clinic and as in-patients on a daily basis.
