In addition, the demonstration will evaluate the addition of a home-based disease management protocol focusing on patient education, to test for incremental improvement. Patients will be taught about their disease (symptoms, treatment, appropriate action plans), as well as about the healthcare system (how and when to access it). Based on the principles of comprehensive disease management and the unique needs of South Texas residents, the South Texas Asthma Management Program (STAMP) is designed for a diverse, mobile, underserved patient population. The protocol delivers up-front home-based education and environmental assessment, with follow-up visits focused on reinforcement of the earlier messages. The program ensures access to a primary care provider for patients who lack this critical member of the healthcare team. It also provides multiple resources for social services and guidance in appropriately accessing the healthcare system. The goal of the program is to equip patients, who have barriers to access due to a number of factors (lack of phone, language, remote location, etc), to navigate the healthcare system and effectively receive the care they need.
