Quality improvement activities are important to achieve the goal of “improving the health of the population, enhancing patient experiences and outcomes, and reducing the per capita cost of care, and to improving provider experience” (Taylor et al., 2020). A quality improvement initiative that aims to improve asthma care in pediatric patients is The Utah Pediatric Partnership to Improve Healthcare Quality (UPIQ) and Utah Department of Health (UDOH) Asthma Program Learning Collaborative. This partnership’s purpose is to “standardize asthma assessment, asthma control documentation, and patient education material in the form of an asthma action plan to improve care management for pediatric asthma patientsa” (Murray, 2022, p. 1). Asthma control in pediatric patients is important in order to decrease hospitalization and ER visits. Pediatric patients, depending on their age, may be unable to manage their own asthma, so parent involvement in managing their asthma is a strategy to improve health outcomes for these children. Providing patient education resources such as asthma action plans are beneficial for the parents and children to familiarize themselves with information on asthma self-management. Translational research can influence the development of this quality improvement initiative by studying how the outcomes of research can be applied into practice and actually have an impact on health (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018). T4 research results in improved population health as it involves studying factors and interventions that influence population health.This would be relevant to the quality improvement initiative to improve asthma control in pediatric children.
