Decision Support Systems
• A process for incorporating guidelines, education, expert advice and practice aids into routine clinical practice
NCQA
Decision Support• Embed evidence-based guidelines which
describe stepped-care into daily clinical practice.
• Integrate specialist expertise and primary care.
• Use proven provider education methods.
• Share evidence-based guidelines and information with patients to encourage their participation.
Knowledge Management…One Approach
What Works & What Doesn’t?
• Davis DA, Thomson MA, Oxman AD, Haynes RB. Changing physician performance. A systematic review of the effect of continuing medical education strategies. JAMA. 1995 Sep 6;274(9):700-5.
• Meta-analysis of 99 trials, 160 interventions designed to change physician behavior –
– Effective change strategies
• Provider reminders
• Patient-mediated interventions
• Outreach visits (academic detailing)
• Opinion leaders
• Multifaceted interventions
– Less Effective
• Audit with feedback and educational materials
– Not Effective
• Formal CME conferences or activities, without enabling or practice-reinforcing strategies.
What is evidence-based medicine?
Evidence-based medicine is the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients.
-David Sacket, BMJ 13 Jan 1996
What is evidence-based medicine?
• Evidence-based medicine is an approach to health care that promotes the collection, interpretation, and integration of valid, important and applicable evidence.
• The best available evidence, moderated by patient circumstances and preferences, is applied to improve the quality of clinical judgments.
McMaster University
What is evidence-based practice?
• Efforts made to base clinical & other healthcare decisions on the best available evidence
• Evidence is critically appraised & synthesized
• The evidence synthesis is adapted to assist providers & patients in making decisions about specific clinical conditions.
Embed evidence-based guidelines
into daily practice
Clinical Practice Guidelines
• Clinical guidelines are systematically developed statements to assist practitioners and patients in choosing appropriate healthcare for specific conditions.
-The Institute of Medicine
Clinical Practice Guidelines
Efforts to distill a large body of medical knowledge into a convenient, readily usable format.
- Eddy. The challenge. JAMA 1990;263:287-290

A quality gap persists: “…on average, Americans receive about half of recommended medical care processes.” — McGlynn, et al, NEJM, 6/26/03
IOM: “What is perhaps most disturbing is the absence of real progress toward restructuring health care systems to address both quality and cost concerns, or toward applying advances in information technology…”

Information systems goal: Empty the lab coat pocket
Evidence-based Practice• Begin with NIH Guidelines
– all team members should be familiar
• Identify thought/opinion leaders
– within your organization and outside
– systematic literature review
– organized learning within organization
Steve Simpson, MD Kansas University
Stickies wereubiquitous
Labels with patient Information and pre-visit summaries are also used as reminders
Evidence-based practice, cont.• Customize guidelines to your setting
• Embed in practice: able to influence real time decision-making
Flow sheets with prompts
Decision rules in EMR
Share with patient
Reminders in registry
Standing orders
• Have data to monitor care
Attributes of Good Guidelines
• Clear definition of condition and population
• Exceptions are described
• Evidence summaries are available with links to key articles
• Clinical actions for stepped-care are clearly stated
• “Nice-to’s” that are not evidence-based are omitted
• Regularly updated to incorporate new data
http://pkc.kp.org
Stepped Care
• Often begins with lifestyle change or adaptation (eliminate triggers, lose weight, exercise more)
• First choice medication
• Either increase dose or add second medication, and so on
• Includes referral guideline

Level 3Patients are complex. High intensitymanagement of the patient’s care is required.
Level 2Patients are in poor metabolic control andmay benef it from participation in a shortterm care management program where theylearn self care skills
Level 1Patients can be supported by routineAPC team care but may need selfmanagement basic educa tion
Prevention & Wellness
Patients with diabetes canbe segmented into threecare levels based on needs.
IntensiveManagement
• Care Mgmt Programs:
– Group Visits– one-on-one F/U
Assisted Care
• Diabetes: The Basics• Living Well with Diabetes
• SMBG
Self Management
Prevention and wellness arethe foundation of basic care.

Integrating Specialist and Primary Care Expertise
Clarifying roles and working together
Definitions
• Referral: transfer of care
• Consultation: one-time or limited time
• Collaboration: on-going co-management
Effective specialty-primary care interactions
• When to consult
– trouble making a diagnosis
– specialized treatment
– goals of therapy not met
Adapted from material by Steve Simpson, MD Kansas University
Using Consultants EffectivelyMake your consultants partners
– 1st principle of partnership - communication
– communication begins with you
– ask a specific question
– specify type of consult: ongoing (referral), one time only, duration of specific problem
Steve Simpson, MD Kansas University
Communicating
• Telephone or in person
• Letter
• Letter with supporting objective data
• e-mail must be encrypted
Steve Simpson, MD Kansas University
Example of an agreement in place
Primary Care1. State that you are requesting a consultation
2. The reason for the consultation and/or question(s) you would like answered
3. List of any current or past pertinent medications
4. Any work-up and results that has been done so far
5. Your thought process in deciding to request a consult
6. What you would like the Specialist to do
Source: HealthPartners, MN
The agreement in place
Specialty Care
1. State that you are returning the patient to primary care for follow-up in response to their consult request2. What you did for the patient and the results3. Answers to Primary Care Physicians questions in their consult request4. Your thought process in arriving at your answers5. Recommendations for the Primary Care Physician and educational notes as appropriate6. When or under what circumstances the Primary Care Physician should consider sending the patient back to you

Going beyond referral and consultation: integrating specialist expertise
• Shared care agreements
• Alternating primary-specialty visits
• Joint visits
• Roving expert teams
• On-call specialist
• Via nurse case manager
Use proven provider education methods
Beyond CME…
Effective educational methods
Interactive, sequential opportunities in small groups or individual training
• Academic detailing
• Problem-based learning
• Modeling (joint visits)
Effective educational methods• Build knowledge over time
• Include all clinic staff
• Involve changing practice, not just acquiring knowledge
Result: better diagnosis, continuing care and guideline based care in children with asthma
Evans et al, Pediatrics 1997;99:157
Share evidence-based guidelines and information
with patientsto encourage their participation.
What is shared decision-making?
• Patient and clinician share information with each other (clinician shares medical information, patient shares personal knowledge of illness and values)
• Participate in a decision-making process
• Agree on a course of action
Sheridan et al Am Jrnl Prev Med 2004
Guidelines for patients
• Expectations for care
• Wallet cards
• Web sites
• Workbooks
• Stoplight tools
Example of a successful strategy: Adults with asthma
• Developed a skill-oriented self-help workbook
• Health educator session for 1 hour
• Support group
• Telephone calls
RCT: better inhaler skills and use, decreased symptoms, less ER use.
Bailey et al Arch Inter Med 1990;150:1664
Stoplight tools: patient guidelines
Supporting the Patient Role
What Does Work?
• Interventions that increase use of adult immunization and cancer screening services: a meta-analysis. Ann Intern Med, 2002 May 7; 136(9):641-51. Stone EG, Morton SC, Hulscher ME, Maglione MA, Roth EA, Grimshaw JM, Mittman BS, Rubenstein LV, Rubenstein LZ, Shekelle PG.
