🔄 Shared Template Components for Asthma Care

Many elements of asthma care are used across multiple PCIT templates — including OneLTC Asthma, OneTemplate Prescriber, OneTemplate Non-Prescriber, and OneTemplate Acute.

This guide summarises the shared template components that may appear dynamically within these templates, and links you to full support articles for each one.

📋 What Are Shared Template Components?

Shared template components are standardised clinical building blocks embedded across different templates. They support consistent coding, guideline adherence, and QOF/LES compliance. They:

• Follow national and international guidance (NICE, BTS/SIGN, PCRS)

• Trigger dynamically based on patient context

• Ensure documentation supports income and quality targets
