  1. Panel Management, Applying Population Health and Best Evidence Paige Hatcher, MD - Diplomate, ABFM - Preventive Medicine Resident, OHSU - MPH Candidate, PSU - Health Policy Fellow, OHA

  2. What is Panel Management? • Addresses population health through the lens of primary care • Evidence-based protocols and to provide self-management support • Systems to standardize care using a team-based approach • Designing a system that “remembers” and prevents errors of forgetting Neuwirth, E. B., Schmittdiel, J. A., Tallman, K., & Bellows, J. (2007). Understanding Panel Management: A Comparative Study of an Emerging Approach to Population Care. The Permanente Journal, 11(3), 12-20.

  3. What is Panel Management? • Dedicated physician time for directing clinical decision making • Dedicated staff members or staff time to support physicians and conduct outreach • Information-technology tools to identify care gaps • Structured work processes completed on a routine basis

  4. Experience at KP • Patients mostly like it • Mostly implemented without new funding (some require resource shift) • Wide-scale dissemination through entire facility/area • Focused on a particular disease or high-risk group • 45-180 min PCP time reserved per provider per month

  5. Change to Standard Practice • Requires a shift in thinking • “It doesn’t make my day easier, but it makes my day better”. • “Giving me hope that some of my more difficult patients might actually turn around their health status”. • Biggest change to MA and support staff roles, but they welcomed the opportunity for job growth. • Less face to face time can be dissatisfying. • Patients worry decisions aren’t being made by their doctors

  6. Managing Change • Physicians feel like they are losing control • Imperative to respond with demonstration of performance improvement • Champions • Warm handoffs

  7. “Topic” Selection • Often incentivized by a performance payment opportunity • Should be evidence-based, simple, and clear • Aim for incremental improvement

  8. Creating a Registry • Identification of patients with particular need • Review of list generated for appropriateness for inclusion • Treatment decision • Follow up communication with patient

  9. Example: I want all my patients to be up-to-date on cervical cancer screening • Generate First List • Women 21-29 with an intact cervix and no pap result for the last 3 years • Women 30-65 years with an intact cervix and no HPV result for the last 5 years* *This should be tailored to your practice, if you haven’t been doing mandatory HPV testing, then it will be “no pap result for the last 3 years”1

  10. Next Steps • PCP Reviews list for appropriateness of inclusion • Outreach to schedule patients, correcting chart where needed if Pap has been done somewhere else • Run the list again (time interval TBD) and compare N, report results as appropriate • PCP reviews the list again • Then, start outreach to new group, adjust tactic, etc.

  11. Best Sources for Evidence National Guideline Clearinghouse http://www.guidelines.gov/

  12. Best Sources for Evidence US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/uspstfix.htm

  13. Best Sources for Evidence National Institute for Health and Clinical Evidence (NICE) (England and Wales) http://www.nice.org.uk/

  14. Patient Information Choosing Wisely® campaign http://choosingwisely.org/

  15. Asking your question (PICO) • Patient- children or adults, pregnant women, patients with a specific chronic disease or problem • Intervention- prevention, diagnosis, treatment • Comparison- standard practice, placebo, alternative therapy • Outcome- acute or chronic http://libguides.ohsu.edu/content.php?pid=255709&sid=2879578

  16. PubMed MESH search If you search for “pap smear” and “screening” in PubMed, you get 15515 results.

  17. Using MESH search Terms

  18. Other Benefits • ABFM MC-FP Part IV modules are Performance in Practice Modules (PPMs), which are designed as a Quality Improvement activity which takes place over a one week period
