Asthma Action Plan (AAP)

The South Texas Asthma Coalition (STAC) is proud to announce their most updated STAC Asthma Action Plan (AAP) in both English and Spanish, published in February 2024. Thanks to a wonderful team, STAC was able to revise the AAP to include the newest 2020 National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) Guidelines. Metro Health is happy to house this form for STAC.

These revisions to the STAC AAP include:

• The addition of SMART/MART therapy - Single Maintenance and Relieve Therapy.
• Revisions to the wording in the pre-exercise area of the AAP.
• Making this a PDF document with drop down selections, as most clinics and hospitals are using electronic formats.
• Updating a significant number of drop-down choices, so the medications follow the new guidelines, and some wording edits.
• Requiring one of the two self-carry box selections (either allowing self-carry or not) to be checked prior to the physician signing the AAP.
