Partnership with patient is essential for the successful following of a disease. The most successful ways to build partnership are team work and active involvement of the patient in the treatment process. In the frames of partnership, the patient has the opportunity to make a phone call to the doctor or nurse, or to make an e-mail contact. At the University Clinic of Respiratory and Allergic Diseases Golnik such approach has been used in the frames of Lung Diseases and Allergy Clinic. A nurse makes a phone call to a patient once a month and asks him or her about his or her problems; they fill out the questionnaire on asthma control together. In case of any discrepancieswith the expected results, a doctor is contacted. The questionnaire by means of which the patients assess their asthma control is called "asthma control test". The assessment of 11 patients included in partnership treatment plan reveals that the discrepancies between the actual and aimed at results have gradually diminished from the first follow up on. The average time in which the patients achieved the aimed at result was 36 days.
