The Changing High-Risk Asthma in Memphis through Partnership (CHAMP) program was implemented in Shelby County, Tennessee, to improve pediatric care for children with asthma. The program used a multidisciplinary team of medical staff and community health workers to implement 24/7 call lines, a patient data registry, education programs, and more. Researchers reviewed outcomes before and after enrollment and found a year after CHAMP enrollment, reductions in emergency department visits, inpatient and observation visits, urgent care visits, and total asthma exacerbations.
