Investigated Disease Process While Asthma related deaths are down since 1980, the prevalence of the disease has increased since that time (H, 2020). It is estimated that over 24 million people in the United States suffer from Asthma (H, 2020). While Asthma has no current cure, the focus is primarily on symptom/disease management and prevention of exacerbations and attacks. This paper will propound the subject of Asthma; including pathophysiology, current standards of practice, patient outcomes, costs associated with the disease to patients, families and populations, and strategies to implement best practices for managing Asthma within a healthcare organization.
