Synergistic to the release of the NAEPP EPR-3 updated guidelines in August 2007, PRIME released an annotated Asthma Pocket Guide for Managed Care, based on expert faculty consensus of the guidelines as outlined in the Journal of Managed Care Pharmacy (Urbano, FL. J Manag Care Pharm. 1008;14 (1):41-49). Wide distribution and subsequent evaluation of this print and web-based pocket guide identified the need for a new pocket guide annotating the guidelines with specificity in adherence for primary care practitioners.
