Treatment Intensification (Combination Therapy)

Actual

Describe Intervention

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

Chosen intervention:EMBED ALGORITHM INTO CARE PROCESSES.

Plan for intervention: Engage clinicians across the organization in the develop of a treatment protocol for hypertensive patients and pilot implementation of the protocol.

Chosen Intervention: EMBED ALGORITHM INTO CARE PROCESSES.

Date when implemented:

Updates: 121/18 - to implement algorithm into care processes followed by pilot-providers.

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

Reach of implementers/providers?

Planned: 18 Providers

Reach of implementers/providers?

  1. NP, Danielle Gertz (Taylor)

Actual: 12/18 - starting

  1. Starting with 1, will eventually reach all.

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

  1. 50% of patients from HTN no therapy to guideline therapy.

Goal: 41 patients with uncontrolled HTN on no therapy to monotherapy or combination therapy.

  1. 50% patients from HTN on monotherapy to guideline recommended therapy.

Goal: 70 Patients with uncontrolled HTN on monotherapy to combination therapy.

Baseline Data (as of 6/30/2023):

  • # AA pts. w/uncontrolled HTN on no therapy: 82/502

  • # AA pts. w/uncontrolled HTN on monotherapy: 141/502

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

  1. 25/41 patients with uncontrolled HTN on no therapy or combination therapy.

Actual: initially, ~50%

  1. 61% of planned patients

want
  1. to reach no therapy and monotherapy.

Efficacy (Impact of intervention on important outcomes)

How will you measure that your intervention is working?

Assess Providers barriers and successes through surveys and discussions during Provider meetings; Monitor Dr. Malcom’s patients during the pilot. Monitor PVP alert closure per AMA cohort.

NOTE: NACHC glad to assist with survey methodology

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

Currently in the process to follow-up with provider

What outcomes do you expect?

Standardized protocol for all Providers throughout Western Wayne.

What outcomes have you seen?

We have been able to move our percentage rate from 15% - 16%, based off 1 provider.

How will you ensure your intervention will be effective for your target population?

Monitor process and outcome data within the Million Hearts Scorecard in Azara, as well as individual Provider scorecards.

Did your intervention reach the target population?

We have been able to reach our target population by point-of-contact.

What unintended consequences or outcomes might there be?

  1. Provider apprehension

What unintended outcomes did you experience?unintended outcomes did you experience?

We are moving slower pace. With our pilot program, we may be able to close our gap at a faster pace.

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.

PRIMARY LOCATION: Inkster - Dr. Latisha Malcom (MD), Medical Assistants (MA), Community Health Workers (CHW), Clinical Supervisors.

PRIMARY PILOT LOCATION: Lincoln Park - Dr. Sanjoy Mukerjee (MD), Medical Assistants (MA), Community Health Workers (CHW), Clinical Supervisors.

SECONDARY PILOT LOCATION: Taylor - Danielle Gertz (NP), Medical Assistants (MA), Community Health Workers (CHW), Clinical Supervisors.

SECONDARY PILOT LOCATION: Dearborn - Dr. Mazraani (MD), Medical Assistants (MA), Community Health Workers (CHW), Clinical Supervisors.

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

PRIMARY LOCATION: NP, Danielle Gertz

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

Review the change in the measure, AMA MAP BP™ - HTN-Medication Intensification, from baseline provider meeting. Establish touch-base through provider meetings.

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

Currently in the process to follow-up with provider.

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?

What were the barriers to consistent intervention implementation?

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

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
