Easy Breathing© — originally housed within the Connecticut Children's Medical Center — focuses on five elements of care:

• Diagnosing asthma
• Determining asthma severity
• Prescribing therapy appropriate for the asthma severity
• Developing a written Asthma Treatment Plan that is understood by the family
• Assessing asthma control.

The program then utilizes a database to track its outcomes, including environmental exposures interventions and feedback for clinicians. The database is also used for research and reporting purposes, and it provides clinicians with information regarding the demographics of their patient population, environmental exposures and asthma severities for all children enrolled in the program.
