The primary aim of the disease management program (DMP) for patients with
asthma is to improve health outcomes and to reduce costs. The work´s aim is to evaluate the DMP for asthma in Bavaria using routinely collected medical records using longitudinal population-based study encompassing over 100,000 DMP participants between 2006 (when the program began) and 2010.
Our results suggest that the German DMP for asthma has been effective in
enhancing the quality of care in regard to an improved symptom frequency, adherence to guidelines,
pharmacotherapy, and hospitalization.
