  1. Rangel QI 2012-2013:Antibiotic Stewardship in the Ambulatory Setting COS – May 15, 2013

  2. Background Information • Antibiotic prescribing in the ambulatory setting occurs >1 in 5 visits • In study of pediatric office visits , antibiotics prescribed: • 44% of visits for the common cold • 75% of visits for bronchitis • Estimate at least 40-50% of inappropriate antibiotic use • While national antibiotic prescribing rates have decreased, more broad spectrum antibiotics are prescribed • Inappropriate antibiotic use contributes to antibiotic resistance, side effects, and increased cost Pediatrics. 2012; 130: 23-31. JAMA 2002; 287(23): 3096-3102.

  3. Background Information 3-24 months 24-48 months 48-<72 months

  4. Background Information

  5. Questions • How well do we adhere to Clinical practice guidelines for promoting appropriate antimicrobial use? • How can we improve our practice? • How can we increase the Rangel Community’s understanding of viral/bacterial infections and the clinically accepted guidelines for therapy? • Focusing on common pediatric respiratory illnesses: • Upper Respiratory Infection (URI) • Acute Otitis Media (AOM) • Streptococcal pharyngitis

  6. AIM Statement • AOM • 1a) for pt’s 3-17yo with uncertain diagnosis or non-severe illness, increase our observation rates from 60% to 80% • 1b) for pt’s 3-17yo with certain diagnosis and severe illness, increase our prescription of appropriate antibiotic from 73% to 90% • Streptococcal pharyngitis • 2) Improve the correct prescription (antibiotic, dose, duration) from 55% to 75% • Viral URIs • 3) For patients who present for sick visits and leave without antibiotic prescription, decrease the number who feel antibiotics are necessary from 85% to 65%

  7. Provider cycles/interventions

  8. Pre-intervention provider survey • Survey Monkey survey of providers assessing knowledge, perceptions and practice of AOM diagnosis & management • For children < 2 years of age with suspected AOM, how often do you prescribe antibiotics at time of diagnosis? • 67% providers respond that they would always prescribe abx • For children > 2 years of age with suspected AOM, how often do you prescribe antibiotics at the time of diagnosis? • 17% providers responded that they would always prescribe abx

  9. Didactics • Powerpoint presentation to all providers to review the clinical guidelines for both AOM and Strep pharyngitis

  10. Clinic materials • Created handout materials & posters that highlighted the clinical guidelines and listed antibiotic options with dose and timing

  11. 2004 AAP/AAFP Clinical Practice Guideline: Diagnosis of Acute Otitis Media • 3 major criteria for diagnosis of AOM: • acute onset of symptoms • signs of middle ear effusion • limited or absent mobility • bulging of TM • air-fluid level • otorrhea • signs and symptoms of middle ear inflammation • distinct erythema of TM • distinct otalgia Pediatrics 2004; 113(5):1451-1465.

  12. Do you have a patient with AOM? **Certain diagnosis includes BOTH inflammation AND effusion *5-day treatment option if pt > 6 yo AND no h/o AOM in last 3-months

  13. Antibiotic options for AOM *5-day treatment option if pt > 6 yo AND no h/o AOM in last 3-months

  14. New 2013 AAP/AAFP AOM Guidelines *moderate or severe bulging of TM or new onset otorrhea, or*mild bulging of TM and recent onset (<48 hours) otalgia, or*mild bulging of TM and intense erythema

  15. Do you have a patient with throat pain? Consider the rapid Strep test, IF AGE > 3 years AND >=2 of the following:

  16. Antibiotic options for GAS-pharyngitis:

  17. QI “Tip of the Week” emails

  18. EMR tools • Acronym expander for both AOM and Strep pharyngitis for use in the EMR • .aom

  19. EMR tools • Acronym expander for both AOM and Strep pharyngitis for use in the EMR • .aom • .pharyngitis

  20. Provider Interventions: Results • For children < 2 years of age with suspected AOM, how often do you prescribe antibiotics at time of diagnosis?

  21. Provider Interventions: Results • For children > 2 years of age with suspected AOM, how often do you prescribe antibiotics at the time of diagnosis?

  22. Provider Interventions: Results • AIM Goal 1a: To increase our observation in pts 3-17yo with uncertain diagnosis or nonsevere illness from 60% to 80%

  23. Provider Interventions: Results • AIM Goal 1b: To increase our prescription of appropriate antibiotic for pts 3-17yo with certain diagnosis and severe illness from 73% to 90%

  24. Provider Interventions: Results • AIM Goal 2: Improve the correct prescription (antibiotic, dose, duration) of strep pharyngitis from 55% to 75%

  25. Provider Interventions: Results • AIM Goal 2: Improve the correct prescription (antibiotic, dose, duration) of strep pharyngitis from 55% to 75%

  26. Nurse/MA cycles/interventions

  27. Nursing/MA interventions • Posted handouts around clinic and reviewed with RNs, ex. “how to triage patient with ‘sore throat’”.

  28. Nursing/MA interventions • Didactics on Rapid Strep testing • Change in Rapid Strep testing workflow

  29. Nursing/MA interventions • Didactics on Rapid Strep testing • Change in Rapid Strep testing workflow

  30. Nurse Interventions: Results

  31. Patient cycles/interventions

  32. Pre-intervention Patient Questionnaire: • Paper/pen survey of random group of parents presenting for visits during a given block • 85% of patients believed that antibiotics are appropriate for one of the following: ANY FEVER, ANY INFECTION, or ONLY VIRAL INFECTIONS. • 45% of parents treat their children at home when sick • 45% of parents take their children to the ED when sick • Parents opt for the ED principally based on severity of illness, but also because they feel they are more likely to be seen by a doctor (rather than an allied health professional) and for convenience. • 15% of parents call the clinic or walk-in when their child is sick, with 1/3 of these patients opting occasionally to take their children to the ED instead

  33. Patient Interventions • For patients discharged with viral diagnoses, providers were instructed to supply a viral prescription with written recommendations for care at home.

  34. Patient Interventions • Providers instructed to have patients read back the most important instructions in the viral prescription to maximize retention and ensure understanding • In a study of critical laboratory values relayed by telephone to medical providers, physicians had an error rate of 5%, caught and corrected by a program of mandatory read back to laboratory technicians. Am J Clin Pathol 2004; 121:801-803.

  35. Post-intervention Patient Questionnaire • AIM Goal 3: For patients who present for sick visits and leave without antibiotic prescription, decrease the number who feel antibiotics are necessary from 85% to 65%

  36. Post-intervention Patient Questionnaire • AIM Goal 3: For patients who present for sick visits and leave without antibiotic prescription, decrease the number who feel antibiotics are necessary from 85% to 65%

  37. Sustainability within our ACN clinics • Include lecture(s) on diagnosis of, and antibiotic prescription for, common outpatient presentations: AOM, Strep pharyngitis, CAP, bacterial sinusitis. • Handout materials above provider offices and RN/MA stations. • Acronym expander for AOM and Pharyngitis guidelines and other common outpatient walk-in visits. • Use of viral prescriptions with read back method. • Ensure availability of pneumatic otoscopy to increase accuracy of AOM diagnosis.
