Why Practice Coaching Quality improvement is elusive. • Redesign is complex • Change management expertise • Focus • Tailoring
Coaches’ Multiple Roles • Facilitator • Convener • Agenda Setter and Task Master • Skill Builder • Knowledge Broker • Sounding Board • Problem Solver • Change Agent
What Coaches Do • Set the stage • Infrastructure • Vision and goals • Motivate • Concrete Tasks • QI methods training • Tool identification • IT technical support • Measurement
Coaching Models Vary • Duration and Intensity • Qualifications of coaches • External vs. internal coaches • Level of prescriptiveness • Mode (in-person, telephone, Web) • Collaborative components
An Old Idea with New Appeal? • Been around at least 25 years (e.g., Fullard et al. BMJ. 1984; 289:1585) • Emphasis on improving chronic care • Lever to implement health care reform?
