Treatment Intensification (Combination Therapy)

Plan

Treatment Intensification (Combination Therapy)

Actual

Describe Intervention

(Select ONE; useBPAA Project Roadmap for ideas on evidence-based strategies)

Chosen intervention: Using WELL (bi-directional texting option) to decrease no therapy -> 36 patients needs addressed through utilization of list/data/WELL combo

Plan for intervention: Text to patients on no therapy to seek out appointments with clinical pharmacy team (more openings)

Thinking of repeating this with Monotherapy.

Chosen Intervention:

Date when implemented:

Updates:

Reach (#/% patients – or providers, for provider-facing interventions – who participated in intervention)

Reach of implementers/providers?

Planned: Send texts to wide group of patients. They will be sent to uncontrolled HTN no therapy, individuals on monotherapy

Reach of implementers/providers?

Actual:

Reach of patients (# of patients receiving treatment intensification)? 36 patients needs addressed through utilization of list/data/WELL combo.

Planned:

  • # AA pts. w/uncontrolled HTN on no therapy (as of 6/30/2023):

  • # AA pts. w/uncontrolled HTN on monotherapy (as of 6/30/2023):

Reach of patients (# of patients receiving treatment intensification)?

Actual:

Efficacy (Impact of intervention on important outcomes)

How will you measure that your intervention is working? Using WELL to decrease no therapy -> look at % of patients who were on therapy 6 months after each of the text messages are sent

Were you able to accurately measure how your intervention was working?

What outcomes do you expect? Decrease the number of patients with no therapy, appointments generated from the texts would increase.

What outcomes have you seen?

How will you ensure your intervention will be effective for your target population? Planning to send the text bi-monthly or monthly to ensure action.

Did your intervention reach the target population?

What unintended consequences or outcomes might there be?

What unintended outcomes did you experience?

Adoption (#/% and representativeness of staff and sites who implemented the intervention)

How did clinicians respond to interventions to intensify medication more rapidly/address therapeutic inertia?

Who will deliver the intervention (actually do the work)? Include staff and sites, if applicable. The texts would be sent automatically and the list of patients will come from the patient detail list, filtered by criteria mentioned above.

Who delivered the intervention? Did they have the skills and time needed to complete the intervention?

How will you know if clinicians/care teams/sites used the intervention?

What proportion of the planned staff/sites implemented the intervention?

Were there any differences between care teams/sites who adopted the intervention best vs. others who did not (e.g., differences in staff types, capacity, etc.)?

Implementation Fidelity (How closely the staff/sites followed the intervention design, delivered it as intended – also called fidelity to the intervention)

How will you know what adaptations or modifications were made during the intervention?

How did you track modifications during the intervention?

What might be some of the possible obstacles to consistent implementation? Automation will help with any obstacles.

What were the barriers to consistent intervention implementation?

What costs and resources (including time and burden, not just money) need to be considered? Not much burden on staff because once the list is created the texts will be sent automatically.

What costs and resources (including time and burden, not just money) need to be considered?

How closely did the staff/sites follow the intervention design and deliver as intended?

Check all that apply:

  •  Followed as designed
  •  Followed with minor modifications
  •  Followed somewhat as designed
  •  Not followed as design
  •  Delivered consistently/as intended
  •  Delivered somewhat consistently/somewhat as intended
  •  Delivered inconsistently/not as intended

Modifications made and other notes:

Maintenance (Extent to which intervention is part of routine practices and protocols)

What reinforcements will you put in place to sustain the intervention, if effective?

  •  Protocols
  •  Clinical decision support (alerts, order sets, templates, registries)
  •  Policies
  •  Regular training
  •  Regular reports
  •  Incentives

How will you spread your intervention and lessons learned?

What are likely modifications or adaptations that will need to be made to sustain the intervention over time (e.g., lower cost, different staff, reduced intensity, different settings)?

Efficacy (Impact of intervention on important outcomes)

How will you measure that your intervention is working? Order placed in the patient’s chart.

Were you able to accurately measure how your intervention was working? Assisting patients with BP cuffs -> Number of blood pressure cuffs dispensed to our project population through the pharmacy

What outcomes do you expect? Better BP control with home use.

What outcomes have you seen?

How will you ensure your intervention will be effective for your target population? There is follow up with the patient (e.g., follow-up appt scheduled within 4 weeks)

Did your intervention reach the target population?

What unintended consequences or outcomes might there be?

What unintended outcomes did you experience?

Adoption (#/% and representativeness of staff and sites who implemented the intervention)

How did clinicians respond to interventions to intensify medication more rapidly/address therapeutic inertia?

Who will deliver the intervention (actually do the work)? Include staff and sites, if applicable. Widespread effort across all 6 sites and providers. The BP cuffs are available at all 6 of the pharmacies.

Who delivered the intervention? Did they have the skills and time needed to complete the intervention?

How will you know if clinicians/care teams/sites used the intervention? Track through orders placed.

What proportion of the planned staff/sites implemented the intervention?

Were there any differences between care teams/sites who adopted the intervention best vs. others who did not (e.g., differences in staff types, capacity, etc.)?
