简要总结
The study is a stepped-wedge cluster randomized control trial to compare the effect of Practice Facilitation in 90 small-to-medium sized independent primary care practices on the adoption of team-based care.
详细描述
The study is designed to transform health care delivery by helping smaller independent practices to adopt team-based care. The study will use a stepped-wedge cluster randomized control trial to compare the effect of Practice Facilitation in small-to-medium sized independent primary care practices on the adoption of team-based care aimed at improving hypertension management and blood pressure control. The study will recruit approximately 90 practices which receive practice facilitation to support the adoption of team-based care. Sites are then randomly assigned to one of three waves in which they cross over to the intervention phase. Waves are separated by 6 months and the intervention period lasts 12 months. This is followed by a phase in which sustainability of TBC and BP control is assessed. Each practice will be assigned a practice facilitator and will be required to identify a site champion who will be a member of the team. PF activities will support practices in implementing all practice redesign components associated with TBC for HTN management through training, coaching, modeling TBC, and making changes to systems where necessary to support TBC. Data collection for the primary outcome (adoption of TBC) occurs immediately prior to the beginning of the next 6-month wave. BP outcome data is collected over the 6-month period prior to the next wave. Outcomes will be measured every 6 months in all clusters at every time period so that each cluster provides data points in both the control and intervention conditions.
