Summary points

What was already known
  • Asthma care for pediatric patients is suboptimal

  • Clinical decision support exists for asthma, but has only been tested in primary care settings

  • Pulmonologists care for 1/3 of pediatric asthma patients

What this study adds to our knowledge
  • Subspecialists respond differently to clinical decision support than primary care physicians

  • Clinical decision support systems targeted at subspecialists should take into account their unique perspectives and needs
