Three of our four tools designed for the treatment of asthma have been updated recently. The Decision Support Tool in the Treatment of Asthma (in French only), based on the 2010 Canadian guidelines, now includes recommendations from the Canadian Asthma Consensus. The tool’s summary card, developed to facilitate consultation by health care professionals, was also updated.

INESSS would also like to remind you that it offers two action plans for the treatment of asthma on its website. The Action Plan for Asthma was designed to provide instructions to asthma patients following a routine visit to the doctor, whereas the Action Plan for Asthma Attacks provides instructions to follow after having visited a hospital or emergency room for an asthma attack.
