The specific episode of health care service that will be scrutinized using the Donabedian’s SPO model is the service for pediatric asthmatic care. Research has indicated that by 2005, there was 8 percent occurrences of asthma in the United States; 9 percent in children younger than 18 years old and an estimate of 5 percent of children had experienced an asthma attack (Pollart et al., 2011).
