The objective of this study was to assess whether inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) prescription rates for patients with poorly controlled asthma presenting to the emergency department (ED) remained high with a clinical support system in place, after a financial incentive program ended. This study is the second phase of a previous study done at our institution. The first phase demonstrated that the introduction of an electronic alert system advising providers to prescribe ICS to patients with poorly controlled asthma, along with a financial incentive, increased ICS prescription rates from 2% to 77%. Clinical support systems are necessary to improve control for patients with asthma, as prescribing ICS in the ED has not previously been standard of care. This retrospective study identified 96 eligible patients during the study period of January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. Subjects included patients aged 4–18 with at least two ED visits for asthma within 365 days and no recent ICS prescription. For subjects meeting these criteria, an electronic alert activated, advising the provider to prescribe ICS. ICS prescription rate without the incentive remained high at 0.74 (0.59, 0.86) and was not significantly different than the rate with the incentive of 0.77 (0.65, 0.87), with  p  value 0.82. No significant differences were detected in baseline characteristics between patients discharged with and without an ICS prescription. This study confirmed that an electronic alert advising ICS prescription in the ED for patients with recurrent asthma visits is effective, even without a financial incentive.
