RESUMO

Lutetium 177 (177Lu) DOTA-0-Tyr3-Octreotate (DOTATATE) peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an effective treatment for advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. This review presents a clinical practice workflow that has been successful since 177Lu DOTATATE PRRT was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The workflow relies heavily on the input of a multidisciplinary team and involves a nuclear medicine consultation service, tumor board, and specific preparations in advance of therapy and day-of-therapy procedures. A systematic checklist designed to ensure appropriate selection of treatment candidates and identification of any concerns to address to safely administer PRRT is provided. All patients were evaluated with gallium 68 DOTATATE PET/CT, and in cases of high-grade tumors, they were also evaluated with fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT, with imaging findings reviewed as part of the systematic checklist before PRRT. Adverse effects are discussed and imaging follow-up regimens are reviewed, including alternative diagnostic contrast materials. Approaches to multiple challenging patient scenarios are illustrated through case examples. Finally, alternative theranostic radionuclides and treatment strategies are discussed.

RESUMO

Chronic cough is the most common reason for medical office visits in the United States. The typical patient has coughed more than 8 years and seen many specialists. This quality improvement project is an ambulatory clinic redesign to deliver efficient, patient-centered care with interspecialty collaboration. Methodology included the Institute for Healthcare Improvement collaborative model focused on Lean/Six Sigma and ADKAR (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement) Change Management. Interventions targeted education to referring providers, implementation of software changes, building a collaborative interdepartmental scheduling decision tree, and an interclinic dashboard enhancing communication and decision support. Outcome measures compare group resource utilization, evidenced by the total number of specialist referrals for same indication of chronic cough (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision: 786.2), and length of time to complete evaluation. A retrospective review of 165 medical records yielded 2 groups, "current care" (n = 67) and "intervention" (n = 68). The number of specialist referrals per patient was reduced in the intervention group (M = 1.22, SD = 0.48) compared with the current care group (M = 3.33, SD = 1.02). Length of itinerary was reduced in the intervention group (M = 11.90, SD = 12.13, GM = 6.82) compared with the current care group (M = 126.93, SD = 158.13, GM = 54.8). Multidisciplinary collaboration, communication, coordinating diagnosis, and management of multifactorial conditions, such as chronic cough, are associated with lower costs and decreased utilization of health care resources.
