简要总结

This project includes an intervention in five Michigan Medicine family medicine clinics which is designed to improve staff collaboration across different job roles.

详细描述

The primary intervention asks staff to meet with others in the same role and to consider the following questions:

  • The Ask: When staff are busy or overwhelmed by work, what tasks can others do (people in each of these groups) to help make your job better or easier?
  • The Offer: When people in other groups are busy or overwhelmed, what tasks can your group do to help make staff jobs better or easier?

After this information is collected, at an in-person meeting of all staff and faculty, the study team will divide everyone into groups by clinic and then by the four roles. The study team will hand out the idea list and ask participants to review the list, discuss whether there are new or additional ideas which should be added, and then prioritize staffs top five "asks" and top five "offers" for staff role.

Negotiation of asks/offers: The study team will hold 1-4 subsequent brief meetings at each clinic where staff are again sub-divided into four groups by role. Each group will review the asks from people in other roles and decide whether these are actions that staff can help with or whether there are barriers. The clinic champions will work with the groups to address barriers (which could include lack of information, lack of training, disagreements about need, etc). The ultimate goal will be for groups to come to consensus agreement on at least three ways staff can assist people in other roles. In some clinics this may be straightforward and require just one meeting. In other clinics, it may take several meetings.

Implementation: Once the asks and offers are finalized, it will be up to the physician champions to help promote these agreements at the clinic, follow up with staff and with the nursing, medical assistants, and clerical champions to ensure that people are following thru with commitments to help, and trouble shoot problems that come up.

结局指标

主要结局

Team Development measure

时间窗: Months 0, 12, 18

The Team Development Measure is a 31-item questionnaire designed to the domains of communication, roles and goals, cohesion, and team primacy. Each question has four response options (strongly disagree, disagree, agree, strongly agree). Summary scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale to provide a score of team functioning and cohesiveness with a higher score indicating a better-functioning team. This measure has been validated in primary care settings and has strong psychometric properties.

Team Compassion Behavior survey

时间窗: Months 0, 12, 18

The Team Compassion Behavior survey is a 6-question instrument adapted for teams from a longer individual compassion instrument. It is scored on a 5-point scale (almost never, seldom, sometimes, often, almost always) and summed for a total range of 6-30 point, with a higher score indicating more compassionate team behavior.

Burnout

时间窗: Months 0, 12, 18

The study team will use the first 10 questions of the Mini Z 3.0 (the 11th question is open-ended) to measure burnout across staff in all roles. It has just minor changes from the earlier MiniZ versions and has good performance with two subscales for supportive work environment and electronic medical record (EMR) stress. Each question has a 5-scale response option. Subscale 1 (supportive work environment) sums the responses to questions 1-7 and has a range of 7-35 with a score of 28 or higher indicating a highly supportive workplace. Subscale 2 (EMR stress) sums responses to questions 8-10 and has a range of 3-15 with a score of 12 or higher indicating a workplace with manageable EMR stress.

Satisfaction with Intervention

时间窗: Months 0, 12, 18

There are several open-ended questions to assess what is working well with the project, what could be improved, and any other comments about the intervention. There is also a question asking how participants feel about the project (5-point scale ranging from extremely negative to extremely positive).

Participation Effort

时间窗: Months 0, 12, 18

This survey asks to report how much effort participants have made to help other groups in clinic and how much effort each of the other groups have made to help them. These questions have a 5-point scale (none at all, a little, a moderate amount, a lot, a great deal). These surveys also ask two open ended questions: problems with the intervention and what is not working in clinic with respect to the project and what is working well. This data will help the study team do continuous quality improvement within the clinics to ensure that the agreed-upon help is actually occurring.
