Intervention #2

Actual

Describe Intervention

Chosen intervention: Patient Outreach

Plan for intervention:

1. Use alternative information sources like text and outreach calls to remind patients of Friday meetings (education/statin tool and activities).

2. Provide appointments for those patients who respond to outreach activity

Chosen Intervention: Patient Outreach

Date when implemented: January 2024

Updates:

• Groups 1x/month

• 10-12 patients every Friday

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

Reach of implementers/providers?

Planned:

Reach of implementers/providers?

Actual: Leon Bain, Darline Francois

Reach of patients?

Planned:

currently pulling reports in Epic to determine the n (TBD, possibly at the end of the week)

Reach of patients?

Actual: calling 40 patients/week, seeing 10-12 patients every Friday w/Dr. Francois, and various amounts during the week.

Efficacy (Impact of intervention on important outcomes)

How will you measure that your intervention is working?

• Run reports on use of statin tools and if/when statin was prescribed (sorted by provider)

• whether patients came in for the visit

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

• Yes:

  • AA to run statin tool report: no results 4/15/24

  • LB to run patient visit report & attendance at monthly group meeting

What outcomes do you expect?

• increase Statin UDS performance and Data Workbook

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.

Provider
MA will schedule patients
CHW, DPP will contact patient providers and MA’s to ensure consistent execution

right now, 4 MAs, Leon and 3 providers to start

goal is to have a solid plan and SOP by the end of March

have seen success with the overall diabetes process that are looking at risk score and bringing as part of the group and so even those who are not part of the initial group of 8, patients will be impacted/called

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

• 4 MAs, Leon and 3 providers; Yes

• LB to finalize detailing of the SOP

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

CHW, DPP will conduct on site visits and chart reviews
CHW, DPP will also pull reports by provider to determine if interventions are consistent

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

• CHW conducts site visits & inspects clinican/MA process

• CHW checks charts post-encounter

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.)?

• CHW working primarily with below sites and providers. Those who work closest with CHW have some of highest performance scores in patient panel. Statin Therapy performance with their patient panel as of 4/15/24:

  • Fatima Zafar:

    • Dr. Williams: 87.2%

    • Dr. Silvera: 71.3%

    • Dr. Grant (occasionally): 62.2%

  • Wilson Mann:

    • Dr. Francois: 89%

  • Miami Gardens:

    • Dr. Cordon: 87.7%

  • North Shore (occasionally):

    • Dr. Cumberbatch: 66.9%

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?

will be creating an SOP

are going back to look at the process and reports to see if is occurring as intended, having discussions with staff to check in - trust and respect have been built to have these conversations

How did you track modifications during the intervention?

What might be some of the possible obstacles to consistent implementation?

Training may present an obstacle; however, staff meetings may mitigate this challenge

What were the barriers to consistent intervention implementation?

Only one CHW, unable to reach every site

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

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
•  Other:
