Overview | Staff | About Us | Resources | Easy Breathing Easy Breathing II The original Easy Breathing© research study was specifically designed for busy, primary care providers who work in urban clinical settings with a high volume of patients. In an effort to determine the transferability of Easy Breathing© from urban primary care clinics to the private practice setting, Easy Breathing© II was created for use in private practices. This on-going program is funded by the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality (AHRQ) and was modified for implementation by practitioners in private practice settings in Hartford County. Furthermore, in a partnership arrangement with ConnectiCare Inc., the effectiveness of Easy Breathing© II in the private sector, as administered by a managed care organization (MCO), continues to be studied. Goals of Easy Breathing© II Improve recognition and classification of asthma Assist providers in developing a systematic, standardized approach to asthma management in their practice Improve the health of children with asthma Decrease the need for medical services and reduce health care costs for children with asthma
