Through Project Tsunami parent involvement, our office strives to maintain a family centered focus. This booklet is called Family Centered Care for Children with Asthma . It means that the family is most important everyone on the health care team works with them to meet the same goals, goals that are centered on what the family needs. This booklet tells you how to do this when the child has asthma. It tells you what to expect, what to do, the job of everyone on the team and where to go for help when you need it.
Families are part of the health care team.
These team members work together to give the child with asthma and the child's family the best care possible. Families have the right to decide how big a part they want to play with decision making on the health care team. Children are not adults. They have different needs. As children grow, their treatment changes with them.
