Nurse Asthma Care Education (NACE) Program
This program is offered as a multi-faceted online learning environment to improve nurse and other health professionals' awareness, knowledge and pragmatic skills to implement when working with asthma patients.
The format is interactive, the program is accredited for nurses in the USA and is based on NHLBI EPR-3 guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma. Content is focused on the basics of asthma and asthma management, cultural competence and patient education techniques to improve patient adherence to therapeutic regimens. Patient education tools are available for download.
Participants will take an educational venture through colorful slide presentations, a video of patient education techniques, case studies, role plays and multi-choice type questions. All this can be done in the comforts of the home, or in the office-based environment. All that is needed is a computer with internet access and speakers. The program can be completed all at one time, or as a series of modules. Participants who complete the program will be able to immediately download a continuing education certificate of program completion.
The program is brought to you as a unique partnership between Education for Health (formerly the National Respiratory Training Center) and the Center for Chronic Disease Management at the University of Michigan,USA. This course has been adapted from PACE (Physician Asthma Care Education Program).
