Clinical Information Systems
• Patient registry functionality in your EMR.• Identify patient subpopulations for proactive outreach
(not seen in 6 months, medication recall, uncontrolled).• Capture lab and other info in structured data fields that
can be queried for patient care and measurement.• Prepare for visits and provide reminders/status reports
for patients and care team.• Use templates to organize patient visits.• Monitor/measure performance.

Decision Support
• Use evidence-based guidelines to proactively assess patient risk at each visit.
• Provide stepped care based on the needs of patients (closer follow-up, care management).
• Activate patients by sharing guidelines (report cards or progress reports) with them.
• Consult with specialists and integrate their expertise into primary care.

RAPID CYCLE TESTING OF CHANGESOK… So what do we do now?
![Page 41: PA SPREAD Webinar #3 Robe rt Gabbay MD, PhD Penn State College of Medicine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697c0091a28abf838cc7592/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Improvement Model• Write your aim statement
• What you want to improve, by how much, by when, and generally how you will do it.
• Use the diabetes measures to know when a change is an improvement.
• Think of things you can try to change (the tests you will Plan, Do, Study, and Act on).
![Page 42: PA SPREAD Webinar #3 Robe rt Gabbay MD, PhD Penn State College of Medicine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697c0091a28abf838cc7592/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Deciding Which Tests to Try• Components of the Chronic Care Model.• NCQA PCMH Standards/Elements• Areas for improvement in your data.• Foundational elements we’d like you to work on.
Critical Changes Integrated in Diabetes Population Management Date AccomplishedPopulation alert (to visually ID records of all diabetes patients) Use of template/flowsheet with embedded clinical guidelines Use of standing orders for team members Providing planned care at every visit Use of patient report card/progress report Patients setting self-management goals Risk assessment at every visit Follow-up care for high-risk patients
(At the bottom of Page 1 of the Monthly Status Report template.)

Critical Changes to Make• Population alert
• Flag/color/icon to readily see diabetes patients in medical records when they call or visit office (without having to look in problem list).
• Goal = take advantage of every opportunity you have to provide evidence-based care.
• Improves patient safety when making medication decisions.

Critical Changes to Make• Use of flow sheet/template with embedded
clinical guidelines• Prompts (flags/colors) to identify when services
are due/overdue.• Prompts (flags/colors) to identify when labs, vitals
are out of evidence-based range.• Tracking of information in structured data fields
that can be queried.

Critical Changes to Make• Standing orders
• Grant permission for staff to order, provide, document needed services.
• Delegate tasks across team.• For blood tests, urine test, foot exam, eye exam
referral/tracking, blood pressure measurement, height/weight/BMI, tobacco query and counsel, self-management support, etc.
• Improve efficiency, save provider time.

Critical Changes to Make• Planned care at every visit
• Proactive approach to care.• Fill any gaps in care, keep current with guidelines
at every visit—even sick visits when feasible.• Schedule follow-up care for any services still
needed or for closer monitoring.• Pre-visit planning to ensure all needed info (lab
results, referral reports) is available at the visit.• Pre-visit lab work, so medication decisions can be
made at visits.

Other Changes to Test• Your biggest frustrations—processes that don’t
work well in your office (e.g., test/referral tracking, Rx refills, processing patient forms, scheduling, phone calls, billing).
• Things that patients have complained about.
![Page 49: PA SPREAD Webinar #3 Robe rt Gabbay MD, PhD Penn State College of Medicine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697c0091a28abf838cc7592/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
There’s Value in Knowing How to Make Changes• One SE PA practice identified adoption of the
PDSA process as its most important lesson learned in Year 1 of its collaborative.• Was impetus/focus for weekly meetings.• Allowed smooth transitions to new protocols.• Gave them “permission” to take chances and try
new things.• Strengthened their concept of team.
![Page 50: PA SPREAD Webinar #3 Robe rt Gabbay MD, PhD Penn State College of Medicine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697c0091a28abf838cc7592/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
How to Test: Plan• Step 1: Plan the test
• State the objective of the test: • What are you trying to change?
• Predict what will happen and why.• Develop a plan to test the change (who will do it,
what they will do, when they will do it, where they will do it, how they will do it).
• Identify other data that will be useful (patient feedback, how much time the change added or saved, how it worked for staff).
• Think ahead what subsequent tests might be.
![Page 51: PA SPREAD Webinar #3 Robe rt Gabbay MD, PhD Penn State College of Medicine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697c0091a28abf838cc7592/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Example of a Plan• We will create a new diabetes flow sheet to help us
identify gaps in care so we can provide all needed services.
• Laura will create the new flow sheet in our EMR by Thursday
• Dr. Gabbay and Erin (his nurse) will use it with the 3 diabetes patients that are scheduled on Friday morning.
• We expect to be able to meet all of the patients’ unmet needs by using the new flow sheet.
• We will probably need to revise the flow sheet after we test it.
![Page 52: PA SPREAD Webinar #3 Robe rt Gabbay MD, PhD Penn State College of Medicine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697c0091a28abf838cc7592/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
How to Test: Do• Step 2: Do the test
• Try out the test on a small scale:2 patients, 1 doctor, 1 shift, 1 hour
• Pick willing volunteers to do.
• Collect data (time, feedback, etc.)—even on paper.
• Document problems, unexpected observations.
![Page 53: PA SPREAD Webinar #3 Robe rt Gabbay MD, PhD Penn State College of Medicine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697c0091a28abf838cc7592/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
How to Test: Study• Step 3: Study results
• Analyze collected data.• Compare the data to your predictions.• Summarize and reflect on what was learned
(de-brief):• What did we expect to happen?• What did happen?• Were there any unintended consequences?• What was the best/worst thing about this change?• What might we do next?
![Page 54: PA SPREAD Webinar #3 Robe rt Gabbay MD, PhD Penn State College of Medicine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697c0091a28abf838cc7592/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Studying the Example• Laura completed the flow sheet on time and Dr. Gabbay
and Erin tested it with the 3 patients as planned. • The flow sheet accurately identified the gaps in care for
all 3 patients, and Dr. Gabbay and Erin found it helpful, but said it was hard to use because they kept having to go to different screens in the EMR to document other parts of the visit.
• They were not able to provide all the needed services for 2 of the 3 patients. Dr. Gabbay didn’t have time to do the foot exam on 2 of the patients.
• They also missed documenting the tobacco query for 1 of the patients.
![Page 55: PA SPREAD Webinar #3 Robe rt Gabbay MD, PhD Penn State College of Medicine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697c0091a28abf838cc7592/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
How to Test: Act• Step 4: Act on what was learned
• Determine what modifications are needed.
• Or decide to try something else.• Prepare a plan for the next test:
keep the ball rolling!• The faster you test, the faster you learn, the faster
you change.
![Page 56: PA SPREAD Webinar #3 Robe rt Gabbay MD, PhD Penn State College of Medicine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697c0091a28abf838cc7592/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Acting on the ExamplePlans for next PDSAs:• Laura will integrate the flow sheet into the visit template
to facilitate documentation.• Laura will revise the flow sheet to make the tobacco
query a “must complete” data field so it cannot be missed.
• Dr. Gabbay will train Erin how to do the foot exams.
![Page 57: PA SPREAD Webinar #3 Robe rt Gabbay MD, PhD Penn State College of Medicine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697c0091a28abf838cc7592/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
More on PDSAs to Come!• Key topic at first learning session.• Focus now on writing your aim statement and
collecting your baseline information (PCMH-A and diabetes data).
• Please submit both your PCMH-A and baseline diabetes data BEFORE your first learning session to [email protected].
