Asthma care coordination in schools by school nurses: An integrative literature review.

The results showed that care coordination was key for students with chronic diseases including asthma. Asthma care coordination has many challenges, but school nurses can drive effective asthma care by including the essential components of care coordination. Successful asthma care coordination may prevent health care fragmentation, emergency room visits, hospitalization, and school absenteeism, and can increase asthma knowledge and the quality of life for students and parents.
