- Continuity of care: Long-term relationships with PCPs foster trust and open communication, leading to better asthma management over time
- Medication management: PCPs can prescribe and adjust asthma medications while considering other health conditions and potential drug interactions.
- Education and support: PCPs provide ongoing education about asthma triggers, proper inhaler technique, and lifestyle modifications to improve asthma control
