An educational program for children with asthma designed to reduce emergency room (ER) use enrolled all eligible children (n = 253 primarily low-income Black) within a health maintenance organization (HMO) who had used the hospital or ER for asthma during the pre-enrollment period and randomized them into two groups. Twenty-four of the experimental group patients had 55 ER visits and 18 of the control patients had 39 ER visits during the first 12 months post-intervention. This program did not achieve its goal.
一项旨在减少急诊室(ER)就诊次数的针对哮喘儿童的教育项目,纳入了一家健康维护组织(HMO)内所有符合条件的儿童(n = 253,主要是低收入黑人),这些儿童在入学前阶段曾因哮喘使用过医院或急诊室,并将他们随机分为两组。在干预后的前12个月里,实验组的24名患者有55次急诊就诊,对照组的18名患者有39次急诊就诊。该项目没有实现其目标。
