The goals of having an Asthma Action Plan:
- Reduce the number of flare-ups people experience.
- Reduce/prevent Emergency Room visits.
You can find action plans to print out and complete on your own or create your own with these steps. Click here to download an Asthma Action Planner. https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/files/docs/public/lung/asthma_actplan.pdf

If there is a certain hospital or protocol you would like to follow, write it down on your action plan. That way, if you can’t speak, the person who is your emergency contact can make the right decisions.
