The Role of the Allergist in Cost-Effective Treatment of Asthma
		75%	Primary care physicians and specialists both treat asthma. Until recently, the question of who achieves the better outcomes at less total cost has been based on miscellaneous data, anecdotal evidence, assumptions and hunches. Now, an analysis of 14 clinical studies provides documentation that allergists achieve better outcomes at less cost. This conclusion has important implications for patients in managed health care, as well as for the purchasers of managed care programs.
