  3. Plan • Cathy Bambrick – Administrator • Bonnie Corns – Community Health Services Director • Linda Navarre – Public Health Nurse • Sage Park – Former Environmental Health Director • Sara Burnet –Assessment Coordinator / Health Promotion Manager • State and local public health experts defined 32 • local public health indicators • Two of these dealt with chlamydial infection (CT), • a common communicable disease • Indicator: % reported CT infections documented • as being treated among 15-24 year old females; • selected because it is easily measurable and could • change quickly (as opposed to disease incidence • rate) • 2004-06 data: 89% of Skagit County cases • treated, 94% of Kitsap County cases treated • Made fishbone diagram of possible factors • contributing to failure to treat

  4. Plan: Analyze the reasons +CT clients aren’t treated • Cathy Bambrick – Administrator • Bonnie Corns – Community Health Services Director • Linda Navarre – Public Health Nurse • Sage Park – Former Environmental Health Director • Sara Burnet –Assessment Coordinator / Health Promotion Manager

  5. Plan: Define the opportunity • Cathy Bambrick – Administrator • Bonnie Corns – Community Health Services Director • Linda Navarre – Public Health Nurse • Sage Park – Former Environmental Health Director • Sara Burnet –Assessment Coordinator / Health Promotion Manager • We are seeking to improve the proportion of CT • cases that are treated by the providers responsible for • 43% (Kitsap) or 64% (Skagit) of untreated cases by • 20% in Kitsap and Skagit counties by January 2008 • If these 4 providers increase the proportion of cases • treated to 20% the overall treatment rate will improve • by 18% in Skagit County and 10% in Kitsap County • Therefore, revise AIM statement to increase the • proportion of cases treated by 60%

  6. Plan • Cathy Bambrick – Administrator • Bonnie Corns – Community Health Services Director • Linda Navarre – Public Health Nurse • Sage Park – Former Environmental Health Director • Sara Burnet –Assessment Coordinator / Health Promotion Manager Health Issue/Goal Short Term Goal Mid range Goal Long Term Goal “Process” “Results” “Outcome” • Improve % of • Chlamydia (CT) • cases receiving • treatment by • specific • provider type • Assess & • educate • providers • through survey • Develop a • model to • educate • providers • Document # • targeted • providers • “educated” • Monitor % • of cases • missing treatment reported • by target • providers • Increase • % of • patients • and • partners • treated • Decrease • rates of • Chlamydia • Decrease • rates of • infertility

Plan • Cathy Bambrick – Administrator • Bonnie Corns – Community Health Services Director • Linda Navarre – Public Health Nurse • Sage Park – Former Environmental Health Director • Sara Burnet –Assessment Coordinator / Health Promotion Manager • Hypothesis: emergency departments responsible • for most untreated cases • Finding: EDs not a big player in Skagit County, • 1 of 3 big players in Kitsap N=2 N=1 N=1 N=3 N=1 N=1 N=2 N=2 N=2 Hospital HD OB/GYN Other PP Com/Mig

  9. Do: Select and develop a theory for improvement • Cathy Bambrick – Administrator • Bonnie Corns – Community Health Services Director • Linda Navarre – Public Health Nurse • Sage Park – Former Environmental Health Director • Sara Burnet –Assessment Coordinator / Health Promotion Manager • Round 1 • P – Plan for analysis of • determining what • clinics are not treating • D – Conduct analysis • S – Review data – who • is responsible for most • missing data • A – Identify target • population and small • scale • Round 2 • P – Plan interviews to • understand current • procedures of each • provider type • D – Conduct interviews • S – Collate and review • interview/survey • results • A – Design education/ • intervention

  10. Study: Study the results • Cathy Bambrick – Administrator • Bonnie Corns – Community Health Services Director • Linda Navarre – Public Health Nurse • Sage Park – Former Environmental Health Director • Sara Burnet –Assessment Coordinator / Health Promotion Manager • Skagit County • All providers used the phone to contact positives • Poor performers charged patients for follow up • visit • Poor performers usually gave Rx instead of • medications • Providers do not call pharmacy to see if Rx was • filled • 50% of providers had standing orders • All providers suggest re-screening at 3 months • Providers assumed HD was following up on all • untreated cases

  11. Study: Study the results • Cathy Bambrick – Administrator • Bonnie Corns – Community Health Services Director • Linda Navarre – Public Health Nurse • Sage Park – Former Environmental Health Director • Sara Burnet –Assessment Coordinator / Health Promotion Manager • Kitsap County • All use the phone to contact positives • All reported charging for follow up visits and • treatment (and all had exceptions) • Providers gave a mix of Rx or medications • None reported contacting the HD if they weren’t • able to contact the patient for treatment • 50% do not have standing orders for medications • 75% do not re-screen all positive patients after 3 • months • Providers assumed HD was following up on all • untreated cases
