#ICYMI Asthma is a serious yet manageable chronic condition characterized by inflammation of the airways, leading to symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Despite ongoing efforts to improve asthma care, asthma control remains suboptimal, particularly in pediatric populations and low-income communities. At PerformRx, we are committed to improving asthma care through our innovative Asthma Drug Therapy Management (DTM) program. This program is designed to collaborate with health plans and address the unique needs of asthma patients, particularly those who are non-adherent to controller medications or have a history of emergency room visits and hospitalizations.
