Over the past year, our partners have developed and shared several valuable resources to help family physicians better identify, manage, and mitigate risks for patients with asthma. Below are some of the most helpful tools – many of which offer continuing medical education (CME) credit, patient education, checklists, infographics, and new clinical guidance.
GINA 2026: Assessment of Asthma Control Summary
Family physicians are on the front line of asthma care, and new guidance emphasizes a shift toward safer, more effective strategies.
View the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) 2026 Assessment of Asthma Control infographic for a summary of the GINA report that includes a treatment approach that focuses on both day-to-day symptom relief and long-term risk reduction.
Adopting these strategies could mean fewer exacerbations, safer care, and better quality of life for your patients.
Asthma Resource Center from PRECISION
The Asthma Resource Center, offered by PRECISION (an unbranded initiative of AstraZeneca Medical Affairs), is dedicated to improving the diagnosis and management of uncontrolled asthma, and helping bring the promise of precision medicine into more clinical practices.
- A physician checklist for use during clinic visits can help you systematically assess asthma control and identify when escalation or changes are needed.
- Patient-facing tools: short videos, educational resources for caregivers, and a patient resource library.
- Physician tools for in-depth self-review and learning.
- An infographic, Systemic Corticosteroid Stewardship, which provides information on minimizing risks associated with systemic corticosteroid exposure.
- An infographic, Eco-Friendly Respiratory Care: Sustainable Solutions for a Healthier Planet, which discusses how to improve patient outcomes and reduce the carbon footprint of care.
We encourage you to take advantage of these partner resources—many are free (or low-cost), clinically up to date, and ready to be used.
Looking to complete a performance improvement (PI) project focused on asthma? The Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) has you covered with its free EasyPI: Asthma track! This tool helps you complete a self-guided PI project focused on asthma that will satisfy your American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) PI requirement and earn CME credit.
If there are other topics or conditions you’d like partner resources on, please let us know.
AstraZeneca Medical Affairs-Respiratory Division is a proud Partner in Health of the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians.
