  3. Health Informatics applied to real practice

  4. The Triadic Consultation COMPUTER DOCTOR PATIENT

  5. The triadic consultation • Maintain rapport with the patient while using the computer • Explain risk and evidence • EBH for patients

  6. The triadic consultation If we don’t get this right the (new) NHS will not work.

  7. Background Drives to use the computer in consultation • Changes in clinical practice • Clinical governance Problems with using the computer

  8. iiCR: aims • Identify the skills that help the GP to maintain rapport with patient and use the computer during the consultation. • Develop and pilot a teaching package that supports the training of GPs and the development of these skills. (Calgary-Cambridge Guide)

  9. iiCR: phases of the project • Phase 1: video-tapes of GP consultations (grounded theory) • Phase 2: simulated patient consultations with immediate facilitated review of tape (IPR, Calgary Cambridge) • Phase 3: iterative development of teaching package (action research)

  10. Research Questions • Can these skills be identified? • What are they? • Can they be taught? • Can people divide their attention?

  11. 3 types of behaviour: Controlling (the flow of consultation) Responsive/ Opportunistic Ignoring iiCR: what we saw

  12. iiCR: what we saw 3 strategies: • Signpost • Blather • Respond (every time)

  13. Developing the teaching packageAction Research • Range of professional groups • Community nurses • GP Trainers (5 groups) • Pharmacists • GPRs • Iterative development • Findings of one session fed forwards into the next

  14. Messages we are trying to get across • Computer use is increasing, and the use of paper-less record systems and the availability of online decision and information support mean that practitioners are increasingly likely to use the computer during the consultation • Most GPs habitually do record-writing after the patient has left the room: using the computer during the consultation requires a change of behaviour.

  15. Messages we are trying to get across • Concentration on the computer screen does carry the risk of losing rapport with the patient. • The key is to avoid trying to attend to the patient and the screen at the same time: in this context multitasking does not work. • There are specific communication skills that can be used to minimise the risk of losing rapport. • These skills are not difficult and they can be learnt and taught.

  16. Competencies: Rapport • Adapts behaviour to take into account relative position of doctor, patient and computer • Maintains open posture when using computer • Uses verbal and non-verbal behaviour to indicate when attention is being paid to the computer screen • Controls, or takes advantage of, the structure of the consultation in order to minimise risk of patient talking when doctor’s attention is on the computer • Responds to patient cues when attending to the computer

  17. Competencies: Involving the Patient • Explains to patient why computer is being used • If the computer is to be used as an information source, negotiates the use of such information with the patient • Lets the patient read information from the screen when appropriate

  18. Competencies: Explanation and planning If using screen-based information (shared screen, PIL etc) • Checks that patient can see the screen clearly • Remains quiet, and gives the patient time to read the text • Checks that patient has understood the text • Gives patient opportunity to ask questions • On a busy screen indicates (points etc) relevant information

  19. Methods used • Facilitated group • Role-play, simulations • Video tape and replay (Calgary Cambridge)

  20. Issues • Simulated or real consultations • Separate topic or part of consultation skills teaching • Why as well as how • Changing behaviour • Changing role
