Web Based Education

We assessed the effectiveness of two methods of patient education, a printed manual and a Website, provided to patients waiting for cardiac surgery. The four-phase study was conducted over two and a half years, and included urban and rural subjects in Vancouver and the interior of British Columbia. The Website was based on the specially developed patient education manual. A pilot evaluation study was carried out to assess the features of the Website and to ensure it was ‘user-friendly’, after which it was revised. The two education methods were evaluated using both qualitative and quantitative studies. Findings supported the feasibility and viability of both formats. The Web-based format demonstrated two additional benefits over the print-based format, namely increased social support and decreased anxiety. Other findings included the perception of increased support, lifestyle changes and more positive attitudes towards the impending surgery.

270 Background: National Quality Strategy set forth by the Department of Health and Human Services emphasizes that each person and family is engaged as partners in their care. Appropriate use of quality measures can serve as a means of achieving this. Studies have shown that patient engagement can lead to improved healthcare outcomes, lower resource utilization, and reduced costs. As such, Avalere sought to identify oncology-related quality measures that address patient and family engagement, and determine ways to advance engagement in oncology through the use of quality measures. Methods: Avalere assessed publicly available sources to identify person and family engagement measures related to oncology, including measures related to patient education, care preferences, and care planning. Avalere also assessed the current use of these measures in CMS’ quality programs. Results: Avalere identified six oncology-specific measures related to person and family engagement. One of the measures is included in CMS’ Physician Quality Reporting System and the Electronic Health Record Incentive Programs. Three measures identified are related to documenting patients’ preferences during end of life care, two are related to care planning for pain and depression, respectively, and one is related to patient education on treatment. None of the measures are related to specific cancers. Conclusions: Avalere found lack of measures related to patient and family engagement in oncology. Given the importance of patient and family engagement during the course of disease management, opportunity exists to improve oncology care quality through measurement and evaluation of engagement. Oncology patients’ quality of care can be improved through data support, stakeholder buy-in, standardized methodology for measuring engagement, evidence linking engagement and outcomes, and implementation measures in incentive programs.

Abstract This case report shares the story of a family who sought care elsewhere after their daughter was denied cardiac surgery in their home state because she had trisomy 18. This case report recommends case-by-case assessment of cardiac surgical interventions for children with trisomy 13 or 18 as informed by review of goals, assessment of comorbidities, and literature-informed practice. Coordinated care planning and interdisciplinary communication are relevant in cardiac surgical considerations for children with these underlying genetic conditions.
