- The Home Management Plan of Care (HMPC) document could be in the form of a Daily Self-Management Plan or an Asthma Action Plan only if it is a separate, patient-specific document.
- This data element seeks to determine the presences and content of a patient specific document separate from the traditional discharge instructions.
- Specificity to the patient entails explicit information pertaining to the patient, i.e., the patient’s specific controllers and relievers medication information (name, dose, frequency, and method of administration), environmental control and control of other triggers, and methods and timing of rescue actions specific to the patient, in order to select “Yes.”
