A Practice-Based Intervention To Improve Care for a Diverse Population Of Women With Urinary Incontinence

NCT05534412 | Active Not Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: 802004
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 1,600
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 4

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• 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.

  Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (8)

Study Arms (2)

Practice-Based Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

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.

Other: Academic Detailing; Other: Electronic Clinical Decision Support; Other: APP Co-management; Other: Electronic Referral

Control

NO INTERVENTION

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.

Interventions

Academic Detailing OTHER

1. Provider Assessment. Physicians and advance practice providers will complete questionnaires before the intervention that assess their knowledge about the treatment for UI in women. 2. 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. 3. 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.

Practice-Based Intervention

Electronic Clinical Decision Support OTHER

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.

Practice-Based Intervention

APP Co-management OTHER

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.

Practice-Based Intervention

Electronic Referral OTHER

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).

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: SINGLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT
• Masking Details: Patients will be aware that their primary care physician is participating in the study. However, they will not be informed of which arm the physician belongs to. Primary care physicians will be aware of which arm their office was assigned to based on whether or not they receive the intervention.
• Purpose: HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: Professor of Urology, Vice Chair of Research

Model Details: 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 or control for 6 months. After the study trial, the control offices will then undergo the intervention as part of a "validation phase" of the study.
