Objectives of the presentation

By the end of the presentation, the participant will be able to

• Describe 5 reasons why preventive services

are difficult to deliver in clinical practice

• Describe 5 components that appear to be

necessary if preventive services are to be

delivered in the clinical setting

The Doctor’s Lament

Page 4: Ncd2014 kottke ncd_prev_serv2014_03_11

“In studying a philosopher, the right

attitude is neither reverence nor

contempt, but first a kind of hypothetical

sympathy, until it is possible to know

what it feels like to believe in his

theories”

Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy

New York: Simon and Schuster, 1945, p 39

What is “time”?

“Time” is priority

Who sets the clinicians’ priorities?

Patients, purchasers, colleagues

Observation 1: Although the ability of physicians to

make apparently arbitrary decisions gives

them the appearance of independence, the

health care system limits their flexibility of

behavior.

Implication: While physician inaction may indicate a

lack of interest, social forces in the health

services system can prevent a physician

from acting on his or her intentions.

Eliot Freidson:

Occupational organization . . .

constitutes a dimension quite as

distinct and fully as important as its

knowledge.”

Profession of Medicine: A Study of the Sociology of

Applied Knowledge, 1970, introduction

Page 9: Ncd2014 kottke ncd_prev_serv2014_03_11

You suggest the physician adopt an

intervention known to benefit the patient. . .

. . . but the physician does not act

Ask, “What is wrong

with this doctor?”

Ask, “How can we create

a system that makes the

right thing the easiest

thing to do?”

Follow Freidson’s advice

Page 10: Ncd2014 kottke ncd_prev_serv2014_03_11

Observation 2: Issues of public health do not

compel action in the clinical setting.

Implication: Whenever possible, the benefit of clinical

preventive services should be described in

terms of benefit to patients or populations

for which the physician acknowledges

professional responsibility.

Page 11: Ncd2014 kottke ncd_prev_serv2014_03_11
Page 12: Ncd2014 kottke ncd_prev_serv2014_03_11

Observation 3: The health care system gives priority

to the urgent over the severe.

Implication: Unless preventive services are formally

given appropriate priority, treatment of

acute conditions, no matter how trivial, will

continue to displace them.

Observation 4: Time constraints and patient

demand encourage the physician in the

clinical setting to be a respondent, not an

initiator.

Implication: Physicians need reminders to offer

preventive services, ideally both from

patients who ask for the services and from

system-initiated prompts on the patient

record.

“Trying to improve my practice causes

all hell to break loose!!”

We conclude?

And we become passive

Page 19: Ncd2014 kottke ncd_prev_serv2014_03_11

Observation 5: Preventive services do not fit well

with physicians’ images of their work or

themselves.

Implication: Because the characteristics of preventive

services and the work that physicians

consider ideal diverge so widely, it may be

necessary to delegate much of the

provision of preventive services to non-

physicians or to special teams of

physicians who enjoy these tasks.

Preventive Services

Page 22: Ncd2014 kottke ncd_prev_serv2014_03_11

Observation 6: The feedback naturally generated

from prescribing preventive services is

primarily negative feedback.

Implication: Preventive services systems will need to

provide clinicians with feedback about the

positive effects of the preventive services

that they are expected to deliver.

Observation 7: The clinician cannot provide

preventive services without adequate

resources.

Implication: Adequate resources, both fiscal and

organizational, must be allocated if

preventive services are to be delivered.

People will not adopt innovations even

though they are favorably disposed

towards them if they lack the money, the

skills, or the accessory resources that may

be needed.

HealthTexas Provider Network Initiative

1. Adult Clinical Preventive Services Medical Record Form**

2. Feedback of audit results to individual physicians**

3. Training of physician-to-physician academic detailers to share results and discuss best practice

4. Testing a team-based approach to improvement, followed by promotion of this strategy in the network Quality Improvement committee and to poortly performing clinics and physicians**

5. Unblinding of individual physician clinical preventive services performance**

6. Publishing a series of preventive service articles in internal group newsletters

HealthTexas Provider Network Initiative

7. Recognition of high achievers in clinical preventive services delivery

8. Discussions regarding linking physician performance to financial incentives**

9. Training physicians on rapid-cycle continuous quality improvement strategies

10. Providing “physician champions” with compensated time to develop and disseminate individual process improvement projects

11. Funding a network-wide ambulatory care improvement champion to focus on disseminating best practices across HealthTexas Provider Network.**

Conclusions - I

• Evidence-based guidelines are acceptable to clinicians (and help us agree upon which services to deliver)

• Clinicians believe that preventive services have value (so telling them about the importance of preventive services can not be expected to change behavior)

• Clinicians do not sense a need to provide more preventive services (but will deliver more services if stimulated to do so).

• Cooperation among health plans appears necessary for preventive services delivery (clinicians will do nothing in the presence of conflict)

Page 47: Ncd2014 kottke ncd_prev_serv2014_03_11

• The “logjam” model is not applicable to preventive

services. Preventive services requires the input of

energy.

• Clinicians like using an iterative data-driven change

process to address problems that they face in their

clinics. However, skill in using the process is not

sufficient to raise preventive services rates.

• Leadership/agenda-setting is necessary to increase

preventive services delivery rates.

• If any stakeholder (patient, clinician, health system,

purchaser) breaks the chain of responsibility, services

will not be delivered.

• With systems and leadership, preventive services

delivery rates can exceed 90%!

Conclusions - II
