The optimal care pathway for severe asthma (SA) with the central role of the regional multidisciplinary consultation (MDC). This figure demonstrates the optimal SA care pathway with different phases of care: prevention, diagnostics, treatment, and follow‐up. The collaboration of the patient, general practitioner, hospital/treatment center, and the Center of Excellence for SA with a central role of the MDC is crucial in optimal SA care
