  1. Patient Engagement in Design, Delivery, & Discovery8th Annual Utah Health Services Research ConferenceFebruary 25, 2013 Lucy A.

  2. Susan Dentzer,, Editor-in-Chief, Health Affairs, 32(2): 202. The ‘blockbuster drug of the century’ revealed in this issue!

  3. The ‘drug’ is actually a concept…

  4. The ‘drug’ is actually a concept… • Patient activation & engagement

  5. Many ways to define the concept… • Patient engagement: actions that people take for their health and to benefit from care (IHI) • Patient activation: understanding one’s own role in the care process and having the knowledge, skills, and confidence to take on that role (Hibbard et al.)

  6. Shared Decision Making • Intended to improve patient knowledge & involvement in decision-making to promote an informed, value-based choice among 2 or more medically reasonable alternatives(O’Connor et al.)

  7. Patient Engagement in Knowledge & Involvement about Care Shared Patient Decision Activation Making |______________________________| Savitz, LA

  8. Holistic View of Patient Engagement • More holistic definitions broaden the concept further to encompass care delivery, design & research/discovery • Patients as partners • Personal responsibility & self-management • Quality improvement • (< 1/3 patients involved patient-centered medical home QI) • Care design • (e.g., mobile apps) • Governance

  9. Carman, Dardess, Maurer, Sofaer, Adams, Bechtel, Sweeney, page 225

  10. CMMI & Hospital Engagement Network Assessment of Engagement • Prior to admission, hospital staff provides and discusses a discharge planning checklist with every patient that has a scheduled admission, allowing questions or comments from the patient or family. • Hospitals conduct both shift change huddles for staff & do bedside reporting with patients & family members in all feasible cases. • Hospital has a dedicated person or functional area that is proactively responsible for Patient and Family Engagement and systematically evaluates engagement activities. • Hospital has an active Patient and Family Engagement Committee OR at least one former patient that serves on a patient safety or quality improvement committee or team. • Hospital has one or more patient(s) who serve on a Governing and/or Leadership Board serving as a patient representative.

  11. Provisional Results, Intermountain-led HEN 2-13

  12. Patient engagement is one strategy to achieve the "triple aim” • A growing body of evidence demonstrates that patients who are more actively involved in their health care experience • better health outcomes • Improved satisfaction • lower cost

  13. What Will It Take to Move from Here to There: Design, Delivery, or Discovery • Need for training • Physicians • Clinical and non-clinical staff • Patients, families, caregivers • It takes a team-based approach • Culture change • Common language • Viewing patients/caregivers as partners • Evidence that engagement makes a difference

  14. Some HSR Challenges • Engagement as anew approach to research • Limited/lacking tools to capture engagement • More research needed to understand: • How engagement leads to improved outcomes • Where engagement is best placed (setting, timing) • What should be offered • nudging vs. balanced, nondirective decision aids • Ways to engage all patients (literacy) • Ethical implications of engagement • abandonment or penalties for non-adherent patients

  15. Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) • www.pcori.org • ACA mandates that PCORI seek meaningful ways to integrate the patient’s voice into the research process • Generate topics for research • Help to prioritize topics • Select topics for funding • Ensure patient involvement in design

  16. Local Resources • Community Engagement Core of the Center for Clinical and Translation Services (CCTS) • Patient Centered Outcomes /Comparative Effectiveness Research Certificate Program • Patient Centered Outcomes Research Class, University of Utah School of Medicine, offered First Summer Session Annually
