Statin Initiation Goals:

  1. Received Prescription - ASCVD (Cohort): goal of 20 20%of those who come in for a f/u visit

  2. Received Prescription -  LDL ≥190 mg/DL (Cohort): goal of 25 25% of those who come in for a f/u visit

  3. Received Prescription - Diabetes and LDL 70-189 mg/DL (Cohort): goal of 50 50% of those who come in for a f/u visit

Intervention #2

Actual

Describe Intervention

Chosen intervention: PCN Previsit Planning

Plan for intervention:

  • PCN provides information to providers in advance of provider-led huddle

  • Working on attaining pop health nurse. In meantime, QI nurse (Natasha) to commit 1 day/week to work on pop health activities, pending approval.

    • Managed care team will support Natasha in pt outreach in advance of appt to managed care pts

    • PCNs outreach to other pts (divide & conquer)

Chosen Intervention: PCN Previsit Planning

Date when implemented: Nov 2023

Updates: Has been an ongoing process over last 2 years to improve this planning, but latest successful approach began last year and has been going well! Using print out from Epic and documenting care gaps for provider. Planning done by EOD in preparation for tomorrow morning’s huddle. Huddles are provider led.

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

Reach of implementers/providers?

  • Planned: 2 PCNs

Reach of implementers/providers?

Actual: 2.5 FTE PCNs

Reach of patients?

  • All BCOM patients all 3 risk groups, n=TBD

Reach of patients?

Actual: AA to pull how many MH patients were seen since Nov 2023

Out of 597, 295 have been seen since Nov 2023

Efficacy (Impact of intervention on important outcomes)

How will you measure that your intervention is working?

  • Possibly look at people coming in and completing visits

  • More ASCVD & Hyperchol / LDL patients receiving statin rx.

  • improvement in cholesterol screening and UDS report outcomes

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

Provider feedback that providers know what to expect and can anticipate tx for patient when they arrive.

Reference reach #.

What outcomes do you expect?

Increase in Statin Rx & cholesterol screening measures

What outcomes have you seen?

Increased provider & team engagement (providers, MAs, HIM, etc) resulting from increased collaboration. Feeling successful in care delivery because of preparation.

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

Cohort f/u and rx performance increase

Did your intervention reach the target population?

Yes by identifying gaps and opportunities in advance, preparing for conversation about statins if appropriate.

What unintended consequences or outcomes might there be?

What unintended outcomes did you experience?

Added additional focus on HTN because noticed that statin therapy compliance is greater. Pop health also focusing on IVD. Goal to bring both up to meet statin therapy.

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.

PCNs (n=3, across 4 sites)

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

PCNs completed intervention. They have the skills & time.

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

restructured daily huddle - reporting on patients coming in - challenge is that the patient must be on schedule

on the prior day, QI nurse is put in PHN role 1 day/week and looking at patient screenings and care gaps, including statin therapy

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

All sites implemented the process, all staff were involved.

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.)?

N/A

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?

using Epic huddle form with addition of statin therapy piece (handwrite on huddle form), can look at paper form to see if they are followed or not - scanned into folder and can go back and check statin piece

How did you track modifications during the intervention?

Email and conversation, modifying process based on care team feedback.

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

What were the barriers to consistent intervention implementation?

Not having every provider understand huddle process and how it should benefit them. Dr. Chery visited each site and walked them through the value of the process. Having stronger providers champion the process for their site. Increasing understanding on how process makes their day easier.

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?

Hiring of PCN, getting buy in from all staff.

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:

Included statin as part of broader focus on heart health

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:

Explain: reports are ran monthly to see changes

What reinforcements did you put into place to sustain the intervention?

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

Explain:

How will you spread your intervention and lessons learned?

How will you spread your intervention and lessons learned?

Spread the use of incentives across all clinical quality measures, driving attention on all which will impact previsit planning and huddle conversations.

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)?

Creativity and flexibility! Frequent analysis of outcomes to ensure process remains effective and modify as needed.
