Abstract :
This paper presents a qualitative study of the technology and communication means available for physicians in a metro-area pediatric pulmonary practice. We emphasize the design opportunities available for leveraging this technology to include continuous care and monitoring of pediatric asthma patients. These include building a web based system that focuses on communication between the caregiver and the physician, alerting physicians via email of positive responses by the parent to high interest questions and allowing for merging this system with the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system.
