This paper, developed by consensus of staff physicians of accredited asthma units for the management of severe asthma, presents information on the process and requirements for already-existing asthma units to achieve official accreditation by the Spanish Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR). Three levels of specialized asthma care have been established based on available resources, which include specialized units for highly complex asthma, specialized asthma units, and basic asthma units. Regardless of the level of accreditation obtained, the distinction of "excellence" could be granted when more requirements in the areas of provision of care, technical and human resources, training in asthma, and teaching and research activities were met at each level. The Spanish experience in the process of accreditation of specialized asthma units, particularly for the care of patients with difficult-to-control asthma, may be applicable to other health care settings.
本文由认可的哮喘诊疗单位的内科医生共同制定，旨在管理重度哮喘，介绍了现有哮喘诊疗单位获得西班牙胸科及呼吸外科学会（SEPAR）官方认可的流程和要求。根据现有资源设立了三个级别的专业哮喘护理，包括高度复杂哮喘专科单位、专业哮喘诊疗单位和基础哮喘诊疗单位。无论获得何种认可级别，当各级在护理提供、技术和人力资源、哮喘培训以及教学与研究活动等领域满足更多要求时，均可授予“卓越”称号。西班牙在专业哮喘诊疗单位认可过程中的经验，尤其是对难治性哮喘患者的护理经验，可能适用于其他医疗环境。
