Illustrating How to Use the Validated Alsayed_v1 Tools to Improve Medical Care: A Particular Reference to the Global Initiative for Asthma 2022 Recommendations

Abstract

Purpose: The current research aimed to illustrate a real case using the validated Alsayed_v1 tools as tutorial training to improve the knowledge and skills of healthcare practitioners in the clinical problem-solving process necessary to implement medical and pharmaceutical care. Patients and Methods: The Alsayed_v1 instruments consist of principal components: data collection, assessment of treatments, the medical problem oriented plan (MPOP), as well as a care plan and patient education. Results: This study illustrated a real case of asthma patient using the validated Alsayed_v1 tools. These validated and clinically tested tools provide a coding system for the MPOP that permits easy documentation with an open hierarchical structure where higher levels are broad and lower levels are particular, and the possibility to enter free text. The section dedicated to treatment assessments is intended to synthesize patient information to facilitate the identification of the MPOPs. Effective management requires the development of a partnership between the patient with asthma (or the patient’s caregivers) and his healthcare professional(s). This partnership aims to allow the patient to control his condition with guidance from the healthcare professional(s), discuss and agree on therapy goals, and develop a personalized, written, self-management asthma care plan. Conclusion: By implementing Alsayed_v1 tools, the clinical practitioner can actively give the best practice for optimal patient outcomes.
