Arm Type

Experimental

No Intervention

Arm Label

Practice-Based Intervention

Control

Arm Description

The intervention will include physician education, electronic decision support, implementation of an electronic referral system, and patient education/co-management by an advance practice provider.

Offices in this group will not receive the four-pronged intervention. However, after the study trial, there will be a "validation phase" in which the initial control group will then receive the intervention. This cross-over deign will then allow all 60 offices to receive the intervention. Data from the cross-over intervention group will be analyzed as a separate cohort to confirm improvements in patient care and outcomes as measured in the intervention group under the study trial can be duplicated.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Adherence to evidence-based quality-of-care indicators
Adherence to the QIs for patients who screen positive for UI will be compared across the two randomized arms at baseline and again at 3 and 6 months after intervention implementation.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Referral rates to a specialist
The number of referrals to a specialist over the intervention period (urologist or gynecologist) will be quantified and compared between intervention and control groups. For patients screened as positive for new or worsening UI at their primary care physician office from Specific Aim 1, the investigators will record if and when the patient was referred to a specialist for treatment. Dates of each level of care provided will be incorporated into each chart abstraction so that the timing can be calculated. Investigators will also record the baseline rate of specialty referrals for each office during the baseline chart review.
ICIQ-SF
Four-item questionnaire that evaluates frequency, severity and impact on quality of life of UI.
UDI-6
Six-item questionnaire that measures quality of life and symptom distress for UI in women.
PGI-I
Global index (transition scale) that measures symptom improvement.
PFAKS
Thirty-one-item questionnaire assessing patient knowledge in three domains: POP (11 items), SUI (10 items) and OAB (10 items) with questions on condition pathophysiology, management, and quality of life.
SDM-Q-9
Nine-item questionnaire that measures the extent to which patients are involved in the process of decision-making.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The main goal of this clinical trial is to improve the care for urinary incontinence (UI) provided to adult women by primary care providers. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can a practice-based intervention involving primary care providers lead to improved quality of incontinence care? Will this intervention reduce the utilization of specialist care for urinary incontinence? What effect will this intervention have on patient outcomes, including disease-specific outcomes, symptom severity, quality of life, and patient knowledge? Does our intervention reduce disparities in care? Provider participants will be randomized at the office level to either an intervention group or a delayed intervention (control) group. The intervention group will receive an intervention consisting of academic detailing, clinical decision support tools, electronic referral, and the ability to refer to an advanced practice provider for co-management. The delayed intervention group will provide usual care until the crossover phase of the study, at which point they will receive the same intervention as the intervention group. Patient participants will bring up urinary incontinence with their primary care provider and complete three electronic surveys. Researchers will compare the intervention group to the delayed intervention (control) group to see if the intervention results in increased adherence to evidence-based quality indicators.
Detailed Description
The burden of urinary incontinence (UI) on American women is immense in human and financial terms, and continues to rise with the growing population of older adults. The goal of this proposal is to improve the care for UI provided to women and, in doing so, decrease the utilization of specialty care while improving patient outcomes. Specific Aim 1 seeks to improve the quality of incontinence care provided to an ethnically diverse population of women through a controlled practice-based intervention involving primary care providers. The intervention involves the implementation of PCOR measures. Four Southern California medical groups will participate in a cluster randomized controlled trial in which 60 offices (15 per site) will be randomized to undergo a practice-based incontinence intervention led by a "clinical champion dyad" comprised of a primary care provider and urologist/urogynecologist, both of whom are members of that specific medical group. The intervention will include physician education, individual performance feedback, electronic decision support, patient education using dedicated advanced practice providers (APPs), and the implementation of an electronic referral service. The quality of patient care, as evidenced by compliance with primary care UI quality indicators the investigators developed and pilot-tested, will be measured across the two randomized arms after implementation of the intervention. Compliance with these quality indicators will be the key means to implement PCOR evidence, while, at the same time, measure quality. In Specific Aim 2, utilization of specialists will be compared before and after the intervention. The investigators hypothesize that improved care at the level of the primary care physician will reduce the number of specialty referrals. Specific Aim 3 will seek to measure the effect of the intervention on patient outcomes. Under the hypothesis that a practice-based intervention will improve disease-specific outcomes, symptom severity, quality of life, and patient knowledge will be measured at baseline using validated questionnaires. After implementation of the intervention, these questionnaires will be given a second time six months later and outcomes will be compared between control and intervention groups. The investigators expect that this intervention will also reduce disparities in care for underrepresented minorities.

Intervention Type
Other
Intervention Name(s)
Academic Detailing
Intervention Description
Provider Assessment. Physicians and advance practice providers will complete questionnaires before the intervention that assess their knowledge about the treatment for UI in women. Mealtime Lecture. A group meeting will take place for the physicians in the intervention groups. All aspects of incontinence care will be addressed-including elements of the history and physical examination, initiation of conservative treatment, as well as when to refer for second-line therapies performed by specialists-utilizing the the principles of Academic Detailing. Monthly individual feedback. Physicians and their clinical champion specialist will meet for individual coaching one month after the mealtime lecture to discuss and review the physician's previous performance as measured by the baseline chart abstraction. Physicians will have monthly check-ins with their clinical champion via a combination of quarterly synchronous Zooms and monthly asynchronous emails.
Intervention Type
Other
Intervention Name(s)
Electronic Clinical Decision Support
Intervention Description
Intervention physicians will have access to electronic clinical decision support consisting of note templates, order sets, interruptive alerts, and a notification of patients who screen positive for UI.
Intervention Type
Other
Intervention Name(s)
APP Co-management
Intervention Description
To reduce additional burden of care on the PCPs, the investigators will incorporate Advanced Practices Providers into the patient education and self-management portion of care. The APPs will be trained together with the intervention physicians, but they will also undergo additional standardized training on patient education, UI knowledge, providing instruction on Kegel exercises, shared decision making, and self management. Patients will then be scheduled for a UI education and self-management session with the APP by telemedicine (video visit or telephone visit) within one month of their initial visit. For patients in need of an annual pelvic examination, and if the patient's PCP prefers to have the APP conduct the pelvic exam, a separate visit will be scheduled with the APP. A followup televisit will then be scheduled within three months of the initial APP visit, in order to assess the outcome of non-surgical treatment and determine if a specialist referral is indicated.
Intervention Type
Other
Intervention Name(s)
Electronic Referral
Intervention Description
In implementing the electronic consultation system in the private sector, the investigators will model the Expected Practice developed by the Los Angeles County Specialty-Primary Care Work Group. This eConsult system utilizes a "kickback" mechanism by which a specialist, who reviews the referral, can return it if it has not met certain baseline criteria (e.g. for a woman with OAB/urinary urgency: document negative UA, scheduled voids, titrate fluids to thirst, Kegels, antimuscarinics, optimize diuretic control, adjust any diuretics).
