St Peter Family Medicine Olympia, Wa
• Family Medicine Residency Training Program • 7 Family Docs, 3 ARNP’s • 21 Residents • 4 RN’s • 18 Medical Assistants
![Page 5: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Population
• 390 with diabetes • 30,000 visits a year • 45% DSHS • 12% Medicare • 35% Commercial Insurance
![Page 6: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Patient The Medical Assistant
The Provider
Leaves with scripts, referrals, and Instructions “A passive experience”
![Page 7: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Role of MA…
• The MA traditionally “roomed” and “vital’ed” the patient prior to the PCP visit. • The MA was dependent on the PCP direction.
• The MA-Patient Relationship was not well developed.
• Job performance measured by ability to perform tasks
and keep the provider moving
![Page 8: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Patient
The Medical Assistant
The Provider
Other Activated Patients
The Non-Clinical Staff
![Page 9: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• MA:patient develop a meaningful relationship • Shared responsibilities with PCP develop • MA DM visits, registry review • Huddles & Walkie Talkies • Chart reviews for issues beyond chief complaint • Follow-up calls with patient • Provider has more time during their visit because of the
pre-planning and preparation: happy clinicians

MA AND Provider Support Patient Self-Management Support
• Emphasize patient goal setting- start with Readiness to Change Model,
then coach/motivational interviewing approach
• MA planned visit, provider visit, and
follow-up phone calls to “check-in”
![Page 19: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

What difference does it make? Survey Data
• Patients… – “value and trust the medical assistants” – “felt well cared for, better supported, and more successful
and confident” • MAs…
– “want to be more involved in patient care, did gain knowledge and confidence in diabetes and self management, and were more satisfied with their job”
• Providers… – “modest improvements in comfort with, and perceived
effectiveness in providing self management support”
![Page 27: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

In Conclusion…by the numbers
• For all patients the only significant sustained improvement was with LDL reduction
• Planned visits are associated with greater LDL reduction
• Group visits are associated with lower HBA1c and greater A1c reductions
• HAb1c: Top patient participants diverged from the practice averages the longer they participated
![Page 35: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
MA Training
• A Step by Step Instruction to prepare MAs for work within Primary Care using the CCM.
• Incorporates MA Peer to Peer Instruction. • Two four hour sessions that are fun and
exciting!!
![Page 36: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Group Visits; defined…
• Patients connected in some way, meeting together with their health care team to take care of their health care needs
• Not a support group, not education classes, although they often feel better supported and become better educated
![Page 37: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Group Visits; why try?
• Disease outcomes • Efficient, planned care • $$ • Patient love them • Patients self-manage • Patients feel better • Providers MAY like them • Staff usually like them
• Diversify our services and give patients CHOICES
![Page 38: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Group Visits; which patients? • already know what it is you need to do • without a symptom • benefit from meeting others with the same
problem • self-management is critical
![Page 39: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Group Visits: first step…
• Identify the need, identify the patients (registry, EMR)
• Start small (PDSA cycles- start with just a few patients, one visit, minimal staff, use existing documentation and space)
• STUDY the experience and plan for the next
![Page 40: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Where we started…
• “Traditional” group visits • DGV- Open Office • DGV- “Mini” visit…a breakthrough
![Page 41: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Diabetes group visit choices… • Mini-group visit
– 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first – Small conf rm – Blackboard – 20/20/20 rule – Non-directive tx plan – SMG – One MA – Bill as usual
• Open-Office visit – 10-15 patients – Q 4 months, lasts 2 hours – DOES NOT replace visit – Any PCP, “facilitate” – Larger conf rm – Patient driven agenda – No planning or prep work – Meet the patients needs “in the
moment” – Facilitate problem solving and
end with SMG – Document patient specific info
and plan – Bill as usual
![Page 42: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
DMGV… 20/20/20 rule • Just before…
– The black board… the data (A1c, BP, LDL, weight change, meds, smoking status)
– Set provider agenda (what would you do if you had the choice) • 1st 20 mins
– Patient’s background, barriers, successes… – A conversation, no provider problem solving – Take notes on board, facilitate
• 2nd 20 mins – Ask permission to share the data – Be non-directive with your plan
• 3rd 20 mins – Refer back to list of issues/topics raised – Coach to SMG – Blend with medical plan that has been negotiated
![Page 43: Planned and Mini-Group Medical Visits · • Mini-group visit – 3 patients – Q 3-4 months – Replace routine visit – Same PCP – Share appt time – MA planned visit first](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043012/5fa8091f64a9e85fd43cbbe0/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Group Visits: Other… • Adolescent OB Group Visit • Group Well Child Care
– Matched by age – Matched by family (the group family health
