AIM Statement • Broadway Clinic aims to implement standardized autism spectrum disorder screening using the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) for at least 50% of patients at their 18 and 24 month visits.
Developmental Surveillance • “Early Identification of developmental disorders is critical to the well-being of children and their families” - AAP • Missed Opportunities: • Estimated 12-16% of children <3 years have delays, yet EI serves only ~2% • CDC estimate only 50% children with development/behavioral disability are identified prior to entering school
Autism Screening • Neurodevelopmental disability appearing before age 3 • Prevalence 1 in 150 • Difficulties in: • Verbal and Non-verbal communication • Social Interactions • Play Activities
AAP Recommendations • Informal Developmental Surveillance at all well child visits • Formal developmental screening at 9, 18 and 24 months • Standardized autism screening at 18 and 24 months, or with any parental concern
M-CHAT • No one tool has been shown to identify all children: • Denver, the PEDS, Ages and Stages Questionnaire • Why the M-CHAT? • Accessible: Translated into 20+ languages • Easy to Use • Validated in primary care settings • Sensitivity 0.85, Specificity 0.93 • FREE!
Process: • The M-CHAT questionnaires will be distributed by the MAs, reviewed and scored during the patient encounter. The baseline rate of standardized autism screening is 0%. Our aim will be to achieve a 50% completion rate. • Outcome measures include a percent change in both early intervention and audiology referrals.
PDSA Cycles • PDSA Cycle 1: Is the M-CHAT Doable? • Provider Based Intervention to determine feasibility • Found parents able to complete • Found providers able to grade • Transparencies English and Spanish • PDSA Cycle 2: Can the M-CHAT be done as a pre-Screening? • Incorporate the MAs • 3 cycles
Conclusion: Lessons Learned • Autism Screening and the M-CHAT: • Feasible • Survey of providers: • Doesn’t increase provider time • Easy to interpret • Sustainable? • Is this something to continue? • Doesn’t appear to increase our rates of EI referral • Spread: • Have M-CHAT available to be used • MCHAT transparency in English and Spanish in exam rooms
