Asthma Health Care Provider Manual
The Asthma Provider Manual was developed by Utah providers, based on the updated 2007 National Asthma Education and Prevention Program’s (NAEPP) Guidelines, to address diagnosing and medication issues in the management of asthma.
The manual includes four sections: Pediatric, Adult, Medications and Resources. Download or request all four or just those that apply to your practice. Also available in print or CD-ROM versions. Order a FREE copy by contacting: Rebecca Jorgensen, ( 801) 538-9272, or e-mail rjorgens@utah.gov.
