RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Despite increasing use of telehealth, there are limited published curricula training primary care providers in utilizing telehealth to deliver complex interdisciplinary care. OBJECTIVE: To describe and evaluate a telehealth curriculum with a longitudinal objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) to improve internal medicine residents' confidence and skills in coordinating complex interdisciplinary primary care via televisits, electronic consultation, and teleconferencing. METHODS: In 2019, 56 first- and third-year residents participated in a 3-part, 5-week OSCE training them to use telehealth to manage complex primary care. Learners conducted a standardized patient (SP) televisit in session 1, coordinated care via inter-visit e-messaging, and led a simulated interdisciplinary teleconference in session 2. Surveys measured confidence before session 1 (pre), post-session 1 (post-1), and post-session 2 (post-2). SP televisit checklists and investigators' assessment of e-messages evaluated residents' telehealth skills. RESULTS: Response rates were pre 100%, post-1 95% (53 of 56), and post-2 100%. Post-intervention, more residents were "confident/very confident" in adjusting their camera (33%, 95% CI 20-45 vs 85%, 95% CI 75-95, P < .0001), e-messaging (pre 36%, 95% CI 24-49 vs post-2 80%, 95% CI 70-91, P < .0001), and coordinating interdisciplinary care (pre 35%, 95% CI 22-47 vs post-2 84%, 95% CI 74-94, P < .0001). More residents were "likely/very likely" to use telemedicine in the future (pre 56%, 95% CI 43-69, vs post-2 79%, 95% CI 68-89, P = .001). CONCLUSIONS: A longitudinal, interdisciplinary telehealth simulation is feasible and can improve residents' confidence in using telemedicine to provide complex patient care.

RESUMO

Objective Chronic pain and opioid management are challenging in primary care, especially for trainees with discontinuous ambulatory schedules and less practice experience. The study objective was to improve adherence to quality metrics and office visit utilization in a resident clinic. Design Before-after quality improvement intervention over two Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles. Setting Suburban, university-affiliated Internal Medicine resident clinic. Methods During the 2015-2017 academic years, two sequential interventions were implemented: 1) use of electronic pain and opioid management templates and workflow redesign routing opioid renewals through a registered nurse (RN); 2) RN previsit planning and daily nurse-physician huddles before patient visits. Outcomes included adherence to annual toxicology screening, risk assessment and opioid agreements, opioid dose prescribed, and office visit utilization. Results The template and workflow redesign intervention increased annual toxicology from 53% to 81% (P < 0.0015), annual opioid agreement from 13.8% to 53.5% (P < 0.0001), and risk assessment from 0% to 75.9% (P < 0.0001). Average daily morphine milligram equivalents (MME) decreased from 96.6 MME to 67.7 MME (P < 0.0001), and annual office visits decreased from 11.1 to 8.9 (P = 0.0004). Previsit planning and huddles did not show incremental increases in adherence to quality measures but did improve clinic utilization and maintained high levels of adherence to quality measures. Conclusions Quality improvement interventions can improve adherence to quality measures and clinic utilization. A critical role is served by midlevel nursing providers to provide continuity to patients and trainees. Teaching clinics need to develop sustainable systems of care to moderate quality assurance in opioid prescribing.
