                            Getting the diagnosis right for patients on the Asthma register

                            Overview of the project

                            This is the first of two projects, which involves a review of the Asthma register; identifying patients with the appropriate evidence for their diagnosis in their notes, patients who may have Asthma but need further confirmatory testing, and those who do not have Asthma and should be removed from the register.

                            Why is it important?

                            Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 76.3% adult patients and 67.4% children and young adult patients on the Asthma registers have evidence of any tests results that can be used to support their diagnosis.

                              This is the second of two projects, which involves inviting patients in for a review of the Asthma diagnosis if they don’t have any record of any diagnostic tests.

                              Why is it important?

                              Data collected from GP practices across Wales suggest that only 76.3% adult patients and 67.4% children and young adult patients on the Asthma registers have evidence of any tests results that can be used to support their diagnosis.
