Frequent use of oral corticosteroids (OCS), in courses of treatment or as maintenance, can lead to both short- and long-term serious side effects such as osteoporosis, hypertension and diabetes. The treatment of these patients can be optimized only if they are visible to the right specialist.

This case study looks at how using IQVIA's Patient Finder Solution, two large hospitals developed a search query to allow pulmonologists to easily identify uncontrolled asthma patients using OCS in their hospital. In the long term, Patient Finder allows physicians to follow recommendations, facilitating rapid compliance as treatment guidelines are updated, by re-evaluating and prioritizing patient populations stratified by OCS dose and escalation frequency.
