LEARNING OBJECTIVES • Describe the development of a telehealth education study • Assess the feasibility of integration into a primary care clinic
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE PREVENTION AND HEART HEALTH Heart disease & stroke are 1st & 3rd leading causes death for men & women men (33.6% all U.S. deaths), yet among the most preventable • 2010 cost of CVD in U.S. estimated @ $444 billion; about $1 of every $6 spent on healthcare http://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease (2012)
CVD DEATH RATES • Age-adjusted death rates for CVD are 37% higher among African-Americans than Whites • Risk of having a stroke is nearly 2x higher for African-Americans than Whites http://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease (2012)
CVD PREVENTION SAVES LIVES • Healthy lifestyle, including healthy food choices, and a healthy weight reduce risk of developing heart disease/stroke • Preventing and controlling blood pressure also play a significant role in CVH http://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease (2012)
CVD - USA CHALLENGE • Nearly 68 million adults have high blood pressure & about half do not have this condition under control • Estimated 71 million adults have high cholesterol & nearly 2/3 do not have this condition under control http://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease (2012) CDC 2012.

NATIONAL PREVENTION STRATEGY 2011 PLANClinical and Community Services Recommendations • Support National Quality Strategy’s focus on improving cardiovascular health. • Expand use of interoperable health information technology to improve preventive services, quality of care & reduce health care costs. • Support implementation of community-based preventive services & clinical linkages . • Reduce barriers to access clinical & community preventive services. • Enhance coordination & integration clinical & behavioral health, including telemedicine.

RELEVANCE OF HEALTH REFORM TO HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Improvement of quality of healthcare by increasing quality data collection, creating new programs, and payment to existing entities for improvement. 1 1 Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act (PPACA, H.R. 3590): Summary of Key Health Information Technology Provisions, June 1, 2010 www.himss.org. Accessed January 26, 2012.
HEALTH REFORM AND TELEMEDICINE STRATEGY Response from American Telemedicine National Health Reform Timeline and Telemedicine Public Policy Papers (2011) • Telemedicine should be one component of any national strategy to increase access, improve quality and lower the costs of healthcare. http://www.americantelemed.org
TELEMEDICINE AND TELEHEALTH • Telehealth is within the family of telemedicine electronic communication & information technology • It encompasses broader application, such as distance education & consumer outreach to support healthcare services. 1 • American Telemedicine Association. (2006) Telemedicine, Telehealth and Health Information Technology: An ATA Issue Paper. http://www.americantelemed.org
TELEHEALTH TECHNOLOGY • Kiosks are one example of telehealth technology. • Computer-based systems designed to facilitate information access & exchange, enhance decision making , provide social and emotional support, & help behavior changes that promote health and well-being. 1 1 Or C, Karsh B-T (2009). A systematic review of patient acceptance of consumer health information technology. J of the Amer Informatics Association 16 (4): 550-556. doi:10.1197/jamia.M2888
UTILIZATION • Potential for using consumer health technology to improve health has been acknowledged, but technologies are not always accepted by patients. • Reasons can include device usability, computer skills and low self-efficacy. • Evidence shows substantial numbers of potential users, including those underserved by the health system, do not accept consumer health information technology. 1 1 Jimison H, Gorman P, Woods S, et a . Barriers and drivers of health information technology use for the elderly , chronically ill, and underserved(2008) Evid Rep/Technol Assess 175. AHRQ Publication No. 09-E004. Rockville, MD: AHRQ.
RESEARCH POTENTIAL Health information technology studies are needed that examine variables predicting consumer acceptance, including identifying factors which: • Create acceptance for the technology • Develop & evaluate the ability of applications to fulfill consumer expectations • Increase the likelihood of technology implementation success. 1 Literature review related specifically to health kiosks identified a role for integrated kiosks as part of patient flow, e.g., physical monitoring or planned education. 2 1Jamison et al, (2008), Barriers of HIT for elderly, chronically ill & underserved, AHRQ. 2 Jones R. (2009) The role of health kiosks in 2009: literature and informant review. Int J Environ Res Public Health 6: 1818-1855. doi.10.3390/ijerph6061919
Eating for Heart Health (E4H2): A Kiosk-Based Public Health Education and Primary Care Feasibility Study Cardiovascular Research Institute Isis Award Department Family Medicine & Public Health Sciences School of Medicine, Wayne State University 2010 – 2011
HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: AMERICAN TELECARE, INC. Telehealth company with affordable kiosk technology, experience in evidence-based chronic disease management & patient education. • Web-based orientation & training for multi-user station and peripherals • Real-time operational support
TECHNOLOGY • Telehealth provider station with administrator log-in to secure website. • Kiosk multi-user station for multiple encounters with: • Interactive touch screen including audio option • Password protected log-in • Self-monitoring for weight/blood pressure • Health education modules
RESEARCH DESIGN • Convenience sample 51 adults with BMI > 25 • Participant kiosk log-in over six weeks • Randomized into two groups of six sessions • Nutrition/Intervention (25 participants) • Primarily diabetes education content • Weight self-monitored via kiosk • General Health /Attention Control (26 participants) • Hypertension, physical activity, smoking & stress education content • Blood pressure self-monitored via kiosk
IMPLEMENTATION • Baseline and follow-up blood pressure & weight assessments conducted by graduate nurses • Demographic, healthy eating behaviors and satisfaction surveys conducted by nutrition and public health students • Research faculty & students from public health, nursing and nutrition faculty cross-trained in cardiovascular health & telehealth technology
RESEARCH PROTOCOL APPROVAL • The research protocol was approved by the Wayne State University Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the City of Detroit Health Department Research Committee.
PARTICIPANTS Average age about 50 years old, primarily African-American and female. About equally divided between education of high school/less, or some trade school/college. About half had annual household income of $10K or less; half between $10K - $35K. Around three-quarters had used the internet in the past six months, and two-thirds of those at home.
CLINIC VISITS • Clinic Visit Frequency • Every 2-3 months (49%) • Monthly (18%) • New to clinic (14%) • Other (19%) • Waiting Time • 1-2 hours (41%) • <1 hour (33%) • 3 or more hours (12%) • Other (12%)
KIOSK FEASIBILITY STUDY DEVELOPMENT • Kiosk-based consumer health information technology was feasible in a primary care environment. • Telehealth corporate - academic partnership resulted in a health education pilot with an underserved population.
PRIMARY CARE CLINIC INTEGRATION • Short, flexible kiosk sessions did not interrupt patient visits • Participants returned for multiple kiosk sessions
FUTURE STUDY DIRECTIONS • Expand from primary care clinic to health systems environment • Develop Community Health Worker/Peer Educator CBPR training curriculum • Integrate consumer health information technology into multiple kiosk/interactive website/tablet/smart phone
