Mobilizing registry data for quality improvement: A convergent mixed-methods analysis and application to spinal cord injury. FRONTIERS IN REHABILITATION SCIENCES 2023; 4:899630. [PMID: 37077292 PMCID: PMC10109451 DOI: 10.3389/fresc.2023.899630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023]
Abstract
IntroductionThe rising prevalence of complex chronic conditions and growing intricacies of healthcare systems emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary partnerships to advance coordination and quality of rehabilitation care. Registry databases are increasingly used for clinical monitoring and quality improvement (QI) of health system change. Currently, it is unclear how interdisciplinary partnerships can best mobilize registry data to support QI across care settings for complex chronic conditions.PurposeWe employed spinal cord injury (SCI) as a case study of a highly disruptive and debilitating complex chronic condition, with existing registry data that is underutilized for QI. We aimed to compare and converge evidence from previous reports and multi-disciplinary experts in order to outline the major elements of a strategy to effectively mobilize registry data for QI of care for complex chronic conditions.MethodsThis study used a convergent parallel-database variant mixed design, whereby findings from a systematic review and a qualitative exploration were analyzed independently and then simultaneously. The scoping review used a three-stage process to review 282 records, which resulted in 28 articles reviewed for analysis. Concurrent interviews were conducted with multidisciplinary-stakeholders, including leadership from condition-specific national registries, members of national SCI communities, leadership from SCI community organizations, and a person with lived experience of SCI. Descriptive analysis was used for the scoping review and qualitative description for stakeholder interviews.ResultsThere were 28 articles included in the scoping review and 11 multidisciplinary-stakeholders in the semi-structured interviews. The integration of the results allowed the identification of three key learnings to enhance the successful design and use of registry data to inform the planning and development of a QI initiative: enhance utility and reliability of registry data; form a steering committee lead by clinical champions; and design effective, feasible, and sustainable QI initiatives.ConclusionThis study highlights the importance of interdisciplinary partnerships to support QI of care for persons with complex conditions. It provides practical strategies to determine mutual priorities that promote implementation and sustained use of registry data to inform QI. Learnings from this work could enhance interdisciplinary collaboration to support QI of care for rehabilitation for persons with complex chronic conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This quality improvement study evaluates the impact of a caries risk assessment (CRA) registry on the following: percentage of children with a documented CRA, receipt of preventive and restorative services, and costs of care. METHODS We used 2014-2019 data for patients aged 0-17 years from 22 locations in a group practice in Wisconsin. Paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to evaluate changes over time in the following practice-level outcomes: CRA documentation, fluoride receipt, continuing care procedures, restorative procedures, total procedures, and inflation-adjusted costs of care. The same tests were used to compare average procedures and cost for patients a) enrolled and not enrolled in the registry, b) with and without CRA documentation, and c) at high and low caries risk. RESULTS CRA documentation increased from 13 percent in 2014 to 87 percent in 2019 (P < 0.0001). There were statistically significant increases in the average number of continuing care procedures (from 1.47 to 1.54, P < 0.001), average total procedures (from 7.40 to 8.36, P < 0.001), and inflation-adjusted average cost (from $491.51 to $553.37, P < 0.001) after accounting for multiple comparisons. The average number of restorative procedures decreased, with borderline statistical significance. Average cost was stable for registry-enrolled patients and increased for those not enrolled. CONCLUSIONS The registry achieved the primary goal of improving CRA documentation among children. This quality improvement initiative appears to have had value-enhancing effects by promoting increased receipt of preventive services and decreased restorative services, while maintaining stable average cost of care for registry-enrolled patients over time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The Czech National Childhood Diabetes Register (ČENDA) is a web-based nationwide database that collects treatment and outcome data in children and adolescents with diabetes. Here, we present data from the first 5 years of ČENDA (2013-2017). METHODS Data include characteristics of disease onset and annual summaries of key clinical care parameters from every patient treated by participating pediatric diabetes outpatient clinics. RESULTS The database contains data of 4361 children (aged 0-19 years) from 52 centers (85% of all Czech pediatric patients). Of these, 94% had type 1 diabetes (T1D), 4.5% had genetically proven monogenic or secondary, and 1.5% had type 2 diabetes. In children with T1D, median glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) decreased throughout the observed period from 66.3 to 61.0 mmol/mol (P < .0001, 95% confidence interval [CI] for change -5.6 to -4 mmol/mol). Consequently, the proportion of children reaching the target therapeutic goal of 58.5 mmol/mol increased from 28% in 2013 to 40% in 2017. The proportion of children treated with insulin pumps (CSII) remained stable over the observed period (25%). In a subanalysis of 1602 patients (long-standing T1D diagnosed before 2011), the main predictors associated with lower HbA1c were treatment with CSII, male sex and care provided at a large diabetes center (>100 patients). CONCLUSIONS A significant continuous decrease in HbA1c was observed in Czech children over the past 5 years. As this improvement was not accompanied by appreciable changes in the mode of therapy, we assume that the establishment of our nationwide register has itself constituted a stimulus towards improvement in the care process.

J Pediatr Nurs 2020; 50:94-104. [PMID: 31786470 DOI: 10.1016/j.pedn.2019.09.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2019] [Revised: 09/26/2019] [Accepted: 09/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
PROBLEM The prevalence of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing in adolescents worldwide. Most studies have focused on the clinical features, treatment, and complications for adolescents and so the need to generate insight into the risk factors and prevalence of undiagnosed prediabetes and T2D in adolescents across the globe remains. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Relevant articles that were published from 2007 up to and including January 2017 were identified through electronic searches of CINAHL, Cochrane, Medline, PsycInfo, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Sociological Abstracts (Proquest). Four independent researchers examined the articles for eligibility. SAMPLE Sixteen studies were included that investigated the risk and prevalence of undiagnosed prediabetes and T2D in adolescents aged 12-19. RESULTS The most commonly measured risk factors included obesity/overweight, family history, and ethnicity. Other studies measured risk factors associated with insulin resistance, including hypertension, acanthosis nigricans, and dyslipidemia. Prevalence of undiagnosed prediabetes and T2D varied among regions globally with rates ranging from 3.3 to 14.3% and 0.1 to 2.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Undiagnosed prediabetes and T2D and the associated risk factors are prevalent in many regions in countries worldwide, significantly impacting adolescents and their families. IMPLICATIONS Future research is required to inform interventions aimed at preventative measures for early screening and detection of prediabetes and T2D in adolescents, as well as the development of multi-disciplinary teams that include pediatric nurses and the specialized care they provide.
