(b)The department shall assist health care organizations, such as managed care organizations, in identifying or developing effective asthma diagnosis and treatment protocols. The department shall improve clinical practice by working with experts, partnering with health care organizations, and conferring with interested constituencies.

(c)(1) Despite the necessity for increased information regarding asthma causation, there is also an urgent need to apply existing knowledge to reduce the burden on state resources due to asthma.
