  1. Shared System of Care (COPD) Prototype in Langley Fraser Health Authority May 2011 to April 2012

  2. Who are the team members? • Dr. Ritta Wittman • Dr. Andre Van Wyk • Joanne Terry (RT) • Kathy Payne (LPN)

  3. What has been done? • Three initial team meetings to plan for the learning sessions • COPD-6 devices were provided • Three 1 hour morning sessions were held at LMH with 23 physicians attending in total

  4. What has been done (cont’d)? • The sessions were delivered by Dr. Wittman and supported by Joanne and Dr. Van Wyk

  5. What did we do differently? • The sessions were only 1 hour long starting at 7:30am to minimize office disruption • Collaborated with GP Division in the invitation process • Invitation included WIC GPs & Hospitalists (subsequently in Burnaby and NW all WIC doctors and hospitalist were invited)

  6. What did we do differently (continued)? • To measure the progress of the shared care-COPD at the GP practices, an update form was created and used at the practice visits • Collaboration with other FH COPD initiative, BreatheWELL, in BBY and NW • To ensure that the two initiatives are aligned and minimize the duplication of the work • To engage GPs into both the PSP SC and BreatheWELL initiatives

  7. Successes • Established/enhanced local GP- Respirologist/RT relationship and improved their communication • Overall high satisfaction rate from the sessions (meeting their expectation, speakers, shared care, relevant info…)

  8. Successes (continued) • Updates were obtained from 15 GPs during the practice visits from Jan to April 2012). The following charts show a summary of the findings:

  9. Challenges Early Detection/Screening: • Using COPD-6 device is time consuming (n=7); “it is difficult to incorporate it into a visit”; there is no fee code to compensate the time • Need for more information regarding the validity of COPD-6 • Sustainability: need some mechanism to make sure that the changes made are sustainable & the suggested strategies will be carried out by stakeholders • Administration Support: Lack of an adaptable payment process for this prototype resulted in confusion and delay in the payments

  10. Q & A
