Lessons Learned General lessons we learned: • Use the KDD to identify areas to focus your efforts. • Continue to re-evaluate after each PDSA cycle • Meaningful change may take time • QI efforts need to be maintained as effects fade
Lessons Learned Site specific lessons • Physicians and APP’s time is precious • Work with EMR to simplify and automate • Engage RN/MA/RD • Physician buy-in and commitment is variable • Issues for some sub-specialists (cath, EP in particular) • Effectiveness of counseling • This is a starting point, not the final cure for obesity • Challenges in working with EMR • May have the largest impact but can be difficult to implement
