Improved Care for Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Asthma: Reflecting on Errors and Missed Opportunities

Program Overview

The goal of this activity is to foster recognition of missed opportunities and suboptimal care among patients with moderate-to-severe asthma, thereby helping clinicians who treat these patients to examine best practices for management.

Target Audience

The target audience for this activity is allergy/immunology and pulmonology physicians practicing outside of the United States, who manage patients with moderate-to-severe asthma.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Distinguish between the different types of asthma based on underlying pathophysiology and biomarkers of disease in order to make personalized treatment decisions
  • Identify patients with poorly-controlled or difficult-to-treat asthma who are eligible for step-up therapies, including new and emerging biologics
  • Incorporate new and emerging targeted biologics into the management of patients with severe or poorly-controlled asthma, when appropriate
