HSR&D Investigator Receives National Leadership Award in Asthma Management
Steven J. Bernstein, MD, MPH, recently received the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Environmental Leadership Award in Asthma Management. This award was created to recognize leading health plans and health care providers addressing environmental triggers as part of their comprehensive asthma care programs. Award winners serve as models for health plans and providers looking for ways to improve health outcomes for their patients with asthma. Winning programs demonstrate a sustained record of improving health outcomes, achieving cost-savings, and implementing innovative programs to improve the management of environmental triggers for asthma. The 2008 EPA award-winners were honored in Washington, D.C. on May 1, 2008 at the EPA’s Communities in Action for Asthma-Friendly Environments National Asthma Forum.
Dr. Bernstein is a research scientist at HSR&D's Center for Clinical Management Research in Ann Arbor, and he provides support for the VA's Diabetes Mellitus Quality Enhancement Research Initiative for Diabetes (Diabetes-QUERI). He also is an attending physician in the Department of Medicine at the Ann Arbor VAMC.
