Modification of Lifes Simple Seven for Asthma Patients Case Study.

“Noah is a 13-year-old boy living in Denver. He was diagnosed with asthma when he was 2. Noah is on 3 long term asthma control medications and has his rescue inhaler for acute attacks and for pre-medicating before soccer practice and games. About once a year, Noah has a full-blown asthma attack that brings him to the clinic or ER for nebulizer treatments. Now that Noah is a teenager, he is responsible for taking his medications each morning and evening. Noah’s mom is a little worried that he won’t stay on track with his medication regimen.

How could the “Life’s Simple Seven” tool be used to engage Noah and his family now, and in an ongoing manner?

Part 1: Visit the American Heart Association “Life’s Simple 7” site as guidance for this assignment. You are tasked with evaluating the research quality used for Life’s Simple Seven. Be critical of the tool based on your assigned case study (Hint: someone who helped develop this course and many others here in the HDIA department did research in this exact area. Finding that research will be helpful). Write a 3-5 page review that addresses the following:

a brief summary of your review of the research behind Life’s Simple 7

how the tool could be modified from a research perspective to fit your assigned case study (think about what research would need to be completed to create a high quality tool that fits your case study)

the expected benefits to each of the 4Ps if your research quality findings and modifications are addressed

anticipated challenges to any or all of the 4Ps as a result of your findings

evidence from the literature to support your findings (what research/data is already out there that would support your case study)

Part 2: Design a business workflow for your newly modified tool based on how the patient from your assigned case study should use the tool (Hint: you are the owner of your tool. How would a healthcare organization use the tool with your assigned patient?). Use your work from Part 1 to help create this. Remember to incorporate continuous quality improvement principles for your workflow. You can make an infomercial, a pamphlet, and interactive presentation (i.e. prezi) or the like to explain the workflow and how it connects to the critical evaluation and feedback that you completed in Part 1.
