Practice Outcomes : 

Practice Outcomes Achieve NCQA PPC-PCMH certification – hopefully at least level 2 Improve level of medical homeness: NCQA PCMH assessment PCMH Clinician Assessment Practice Staff Questionnaire Improve quality measures in two clinically important areas to be chosen by the practices

Curricular Outcomes : 

Curricular Outcomes Improved resident achievement of PCMH competencies Improved resident use of PCMH elements as assessed by PCMH clinician assessment Revision of residency curricula to allow resident participation in PCMH and QI efforts Implementation of PCMH curricular elements Will follow resident In-training Exam and Board Exam scores, but may not show up there

Baseline Assessment Process –Practice Improvement : 

Baseline Assessment Process –Practice Improvement NCQA Self-Assessment – group or individual Key Informant Interviews Cycle Time Report Online surveys using survey monkey: PCMH - Clinician Assessment (PCMH-CA) Practice Staff Questionnaire (PSQ)

Baseline Assessment Report : 

Baseline Assessment Report Structure: Narrative explanation and assessment on 7 core elements Data tables for responses to NCQA Self-Assessment & responses to PSQ & PCMH-CA Recommendation section Approximately 10 pages long Appendix: PCMH-CA & PSQ graphic data (previous slides) with narrative explanation NCQA Self-Assessment Report

Practice Redesign Lessons Learned : 

Practice Redesign Lessons Learned Leadership buy-in prior to project launch critical. High-functioning teams build foundation for project. Clinic flow - first entrée into working on teams & teaching QI principles. QI teams big cultural shift for existing leadership structure; largest source of resistance. Building communication infrastructure for all staff inclusion a local and important process. Current: choosing clinically important conditions & registries Next steps: Patient Involvement and Reporting & Posting Measures

Curriculum Redesign : 

Curriculum Redesign Challenges and Opportunities No organized, comprehensive PCMH curriculum or materials No developed curriculum competencies No tools to assess PCMH curricular activities or resident competency

Curriculum Redesign : 

Curriculum Redesign Started with developing competencies (see handout) Curriculum Assessment: Developed Residency Curriculum Semi-Structured Interview Template to determine current PCMH curricular activities; identify gaps; set goals and establish plan

Curriculum Assessment : 

Curriculum Assessment Competencies: Who, what, where, when, how for each Summary Questions: Strengths/weaknesses of curriculum What do they need the most help with for the curriculum? Resource for other programs How do they characterize their sponsor’s interest and support for this project? Resident’s interest and support (scale 1-5) Staff and faculty support

Resident PCMH Curriculum Competency Survey : 

Resident PCMH Curriculum Competency Survey Developed to assess resident baseline competence (See handout)

Results and Lessons Learned : 

Results and Lessons Learned Interview completed with 3 programs so far Emerging Themes: Interview process is an “intervention” for the program Makes them take comprehensive look at what they are teaching “We want to go from reactive teaching to intentional teaching” Revealing that they are teaching many of the elements of the PCMH, just not in an organized manner Resident participation on the QI teams an important curricular component

Results and Lessons Learned : 

Results and Lessons Learned Common areas meeting competencies (through resident involvement in QI teams) Team approach Integrated and coordinated care Quality Improvement Leadership skills Common areas not meeting competencies Population management Access to care Information systems to support PCMH Self-management support

Results and Lessons Learned : 

Results and Lessons Learned Time-consuming process Great qualitative data Quantitative data still to be determined

Curriculum Redesign: Next Steps : 

Curriculum Redesign: Next Steps Review feedback report Goal setting for each practice Actively developing curricular modules and tools Integration of curricular modules and tools Continuous evaluation
