Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop person-centered integrated care quality indicators for home health agencies in Shanghai, China. DESIGN The study combined the Delphi method and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). MATERIAL AND METHODS The Delphi consultation questionnaire was distributed to experts in home healthcare in Shanghai, China. A panel of experts with experience in home healthcare in Shanghai, China, was selected. Purposive sampling was used to choose experts. In this study, ten experts were selected from within sub-fields of home healthcare, including nursing, health policy, quality improvement, person-centered care (PCC), and integrated care. RESULTS The authority coefficient (Cr) in this study was 0.835. The coordination degree of experts' opinions, which is expressed by Kendall coordination coefficient W (a higher value, better coordination of the item), ranged from 0.352 to 0.386 (p < 0.001). The consistency ratio (CR) values for each level were less than 0.1. The quality indicator system included three first-level indicators, 15 second-level indicators, and 56 third-level indicators. CONCLUSIONS A person-centered integrated care quality indicator system was developed for home health agencies. The findings from this study enable nurses, managers, and policymakers in home and community-based settings to evaluate person-centered integrated care quality using a robust framework. In addition, these indicators can also be used as a standardized tool to guide the development of long-term care services and supports (LTSS) for home-bound elderly.

Facilitators and Barriers to the Implementation of BETTER WISE, a Chronic Disease and Prevention Intervention in Canada: A Qualitative Study. GLOBAL IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS 2023; 3:162-172. [PMID: 37304057 PMCID: PMC10018589 DOI: 10.1007/s43477-023-00074-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023]
Abstract
The aim of the BETTER WISE intervention is to address cancer and chronic disease prevention and screening (CCDPS) and lifestyle risks in patients aged 40-65. The purpose of this qualitative study is to better understand facilitators and barriers to the implementation of the intervention. Patients were invited for a 1-h visit with a prevention practitioner (PP), a member of a primary care team, with specific skills in prevention, screening, and cancer survivorship. We collected and analyzed data from 48 key informant interviews and 17 focus groups conducted with 132 primary care providers and from 585 patient feedback forms. We analyzed all qualitative data using a constant comparative method informed by grounded theory and then employed the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) in a second round of coding. The following key elements were identified: (1) Intervention characteristics-relative advantage and adaptability; (2) Outer setting-PPs compensating for increased patient needs and decreased resources; (3) Characteristics of individuals-PPs (patients and physicians described PPs as compassionate, knowledgeable, and helpful); (4) Inner setting-network and communication (collaboration and support in teams or lack thereof); and (5) Process-executing the implementation (pandemic-related issues hindered execution, but PPs adapted to challenges). This study identified key elements that facilitated or hindered the implementation of BETTER WISE. Despite the interruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the BETTER WISE intervention continued, driven by the PPs and their strong relationships with their patients, other primary care providers, and the BETTER WISE team.

Abstract
Introduction Improving health services integration through primary health care (PHC) teams for patients with chronic conditions is essential to address their complex health needs and facilitate better health outcomes. The objective of this study was to explore if and how patients, family members, and caregivers were engaged or wanted to be engaged in developing, implementing and evaluating health policies related to PHC teams. This patient‐oriented research was carried out in three provinces across Canada: British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. Methods A total of 29 semi‐structured interviews with patients were conducted across the three provinces and data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results Three key themes were identified: motivation for policy engagement, experiences with policy engagement and barriers to engagement in policy. The majority of participants in the study wanted to be engaged in policy processes and advocate for integrated care through PHC teams. Barriers to patient engagement in policy, such as lack of opportunities for engagement, power imbalances, tokenism, lack of accessibility of engagement opportunities and experiences of racism and discrimination were also identified. Conclusion This study increases the understanding of patient, family member, and caregiver engagement in policy related to PHC team integration and the barriers that currently exist in this engagement process. This information can be used to guide decision‐makers on how to improve the delivery of integrated health services through PHC teams and enhance patient, family member, and caregiver engagement in PHC policy. Patient or Public Contribution We would like to acknowledge the contributions of our patient partners, Brenda Jagroop and Judy Birdsell, who assisted with developing and pilot testing the interview guide. Judy Birdsell also assisted with the preparation of this manuscript. This study also engaged patients, family members, and caregivers to share their experiences with engagement in PHC policy.

BMC Health Serv Res 2022; 22:420. [PMID: 35354444 PMCID: PMC8966237 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-022-07785-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background In Canada, there is widespread agreement about the need for integrated models of team-based care. However, there is less agreement on how to support the scale-up and spread of successful models, and there is limited empirical evidence to support this process in chronic disease management. We studied the supporting and mitigating factors required to successfully implement and scale-up an integrated model of team-based care in primary care. Methods We conducted a collective case study using multiple methods of data collection including interviews, document analysis, living documents, and a focus group. Our study explored a team-based model of care for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) known as Best Care COPD (BCC) that has been implemented in primary care settings across Southwestern Ontario. BCC is a quality improvement initiative that was developed to enhance the quality of care for patients with COPD. Participants included healthcare providers involved in the delivery of the BCC program. Results We identified several mechanisms influencing the scale-up and spread of BCC and categorized them as Foundational (e.g., evidence-based program, readiness to implement, peer-led implementation team), Transformative (adaptive process, empowerment and collaboration, embedded evaluation), and Enabling Mechanisms (provider training, administrative support, role clarity, patient outcomes). Based on these results, we developed a framework to inform the progressive implementation of integrated, team-based care for chronic disease management. Our framework builds off our empirical work and is framed by local contextual factors. Conclusions This study explores the implementation and spread of integrated team-based care in a primary care setting. Despite the study’s focus on COPD, we believe the findings can be applied in other chronic disease contexts. We provide a framework to support the progressive implementation of integrated team-based care for chronic disease management.
