Hospital‐to‐home transition for with asthma‐related hospitalizations: A study protocol for a pragmatic randomized controlled trial

Children admitted with asthma exacerbations represent an at-risk population, thus hospitalization offers a critical opportunity to deliver timely, meaningful interventions that can support sustained improvements in their care and improve long-term outcomes. Despite the majority of asthma hospitalizations occurring in community hospitals, past studies have focused on freestanding children's hospitals. To improve the generalizability of our findings, we also enroll children from a community hospital. Optimizing care with the H2H intervention offers an opportunity to reduce asthma morbidity in an at-risk pediatric cohort by leveraging high-touch, cost-effective asthma navigators for intensive coordination while maintaining low-touch provider oversight to ensure safety and sustainability.
