THREE MISSIONS:

PATIENT CARE, EDUCATION, & SCHOLARSHIP

PATIENT CARE

We continue to monitor our patient care activities and seek ways to expand services to meet the needs of our patients and communities. As such, we will be adding physicians to several practice sites in the next several months. These sites include Haile Plantation, Eastside, Main Street, Jonesville, and Old Town. Additionally, we have begun the process to relocate our Hampton Oaks practice to the northwest area of Gainesville.

EDUCATION

RESIDENCY PROGRAM:

We set our residency numbers to a 9-9-9 residency complement, with 27 students in total, and matched with 9 new residents. Three were from UF, one from Miami, one from Loma Linda, one from Albert Einstein, one from Des Moines Osteopathic School of Medicine, one from Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, and one from Queensland, Australia.

SPORTS MEDICINE FELLOWSHIP:

Our fellows were very busy in February, attending several UF educational events – the Running Medicine Conference; Sports Medicine Conference; and Safety in Adolescent and High School Sports Medicine: Myth vs. Reality – and managing the medical station of the Five Points of Life Marathon under the direction of Drs. Katie Edenfield and Seth Smith.

In March and April, our fellows covered several multi-day UF Track and Field events. Additionally, Drs. Bonnet, Wilt, and Zapf attended the American Medical Society of Sports Medicine (AMSSM) Conference in Dallas, Texas, alongside Sports Medicine Faculty.  Fellows and faculty presented posters regarding cases and research, and Dr. Clugston conducted a SMART Workshop at this conference.

Our fellows will be graduating from our program on June 30.  We are excited for them to become the next physicians to receive their Certificate of Added Qualification in Sports Medicine.  All previous fellows – a total of 15 since 2007 – have had a 100 percent first-attempt pass rate on the CAQSM exam.  On July 1, we will welcome Drs. Thomas Starnes and Katherine Langley to our one year fellowship program.

BIOETHICS, LAW AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONALISM:

The Advance Directives Training Project is currently underway. Drs. Bill Allen, Ray Moseley and Lauren Solberg will be visiting each CHFM clinic in order to train staff on how to assist patients with completing advance directives. The Project aims to raise awareness about this kind of early informed consent and increase their documented numbers in the electronic medical record.

SCHOLARSHIP

RESEARCH:

CARDIOVASCULAR SCREENING WITH HISTORY, PHYSICAL, ECG AND ECHO IN COLLEGE ATHLETES

Dr. Edenfield recently obtained funding from the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine for a collaborative grant with the University of Georgia titled “Cardiovascular Screening with History, Physical, ECG and Echo in College Athletes.  5-Year Results from Two Division I Institutions”. The purpose of this study is to investigate the results of comprehensive cardiac screening done at the University of Florida and the University of Georgia from 2011 to 2016.  The primary objective of the study is to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of history, physical, ECG and echo for cardiovascular screening for detection of cardiovascular conditions.  Secondary objectives are:  1) To determine high risk groups stratified by sport, gender, and race/ethnicity. 2) To report echocardiographic norms in college athletes. 3) To report any complications or morbidity caused by secondary investigations or treatments.

COMPARE2 STUDY

To further our readmission reduction initiatives, we are starting a new study called COMPARE2 (Comparison of Factors Identified by Patients and Providers Associated with Hospital Readmission) led by Eric Dietrich, PharmD. This study seeks to find common underlying causes for hospital readmissions by obtaining the patient’s perspective, in addition to the healthcare provider’s perspective, on the possible causes for the patient’s return to the hospital within 30 days or less of their previous discharge. The study will collect data via two separate interviews conducted by research staff that ask the patient and the provider (separately) to identify potential reasons for readmission. The results will then be analyzed to determine the main reasons that cause patients to have hospital readmissions and if there is a discrepancy in what patients perceive and what providers perceive to be the cause.

CONCUSSION STUDY

Dr. Clugston and his research team in the UF Sports Concussion Center are collaborating with the University of Georgia on a new study to explore the influence of sleep and physical activity on concussion recovery. The results of this study will help guide clinicians in determining the utility of sleep management programs and physical activity recommendations to aid recovery following concussion. Concussed students will be matched with non-concussed students; both will wear a wrist actigraph device to objectively capture sleep quality and physical activity bouts and will complete various assessments to track their concussion recovery and sleep quality.

 

QUALITY:

We have numerous quality improvement projects occurring that are addressing issues such as readmission rates to the hospital, emergency department utilization by our patients, and referral rates of our physicians to specialists. These projects are meant to improve the care we provide as well as meet any additional needs of our patients and community.

As an example, the current status of our readmission rate project is noted in the graph below. While our rate has improved, we continually seek interventions that will lower this rate even further.

• Readmission= A patient discharged from Family Medicine service and admitted as urgent or emergent to any other service in Shands UF Health system within 30 days of the discharge (excludes observation patients on both discharges and readmits)

• Readmission rate= Readmissions/ Discharges

• Current Weekly Average = Average readmission rate for 10-week period (9/21/2015-11/29/2015), 1 year from pre-intervention period. Average weekly rate for pre-intervention period (9/22/2014- 11/30/2014) was 23%

• 1st Lower Limit= Current Weekly Average – 1 standard deviations; 1st Upper Limit= Current Weekly Average + 1 standard deviations

• 2nd Lower Limit= Current Weekly Average – 2 standard deviations; 2nd Upper Limit= Current Weekly Average + 2 standard deviations

• 3rd Upper Limit= Current Weekly Average + 3 standard deviations

Hospital Readmission Quality Improvement Projects

The inpatient team has taken several initiatives to address hospital readmissions and improve patient care.

• Weekly Quality Rounds Discussion

• COMPARE2 (see details of study in research section)

• Home Visits for High Risk Patients

• Risk Stratification: LACE Tool

• Follow Up Appointments

Clinic Quality Improvement Initiatives

As part of the department goal to improve patient care and continually improve our processes, all clinic sites are working within their own practice to implement process and or workflow changes to meet goals of various quality measures. Medical directors are taking the lead and engaging staff in quality improvements efforts tailored to their unique patient populations. Clinic sites also review monthly reports to monitor changes. Below are the items that clinics are focusing on:

• Chronic Conditions Management

      > Diabetes
      > Asthma/ COPD
      > Heart Failure
      > Hypertension

• Emergency Department Utilization

• Pneumococcal Vaccines

• Advanced Directives

Resident-Led Quality Improvement Project

The residents at the Main St. clinic form teams that develop and initiate quality improvement efforts in the clinic.

• Preventative Screenings
