(<7, redefine step) 7.At follow-up visit, review the steps and document on previous prescription, what % of the time they were able to comply 8.Redefine long-term goal and revise steps accordingly Chart Review: BPPS (FM only) 74 BPPS 198 steps 2.68 Average Steps per BPPS Long Term Goal 28/74 BPPS (37.8%) did not record a long term goal Workshop: Case Study – Readability StandardObserved Flesch Reading Ease>= (FRE) Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL) Conclusion: The BPPS simplifies language with action verbs and complete sentences leading to patient-centered behavioral change 31 residents completed a BPPS Assessment of 31 resident BPPS’s using 7 criteria yielded a 78.3% average score (170/[7 criteria x 31 BPPS]) Most commonly missed elements were:  Not using the Active Voice (Criteria 1)  Using abbreviations (Criteria 2)  Confidence level missing (Criteria 6) Chart Review: 7 Criteria (FM only) (83.4 % Average Score) Confidence Levels (CL) CL % 21.5% 27.3% 19.8% 31.4% Conclusions 7 Assessment Criteria For BPPS 1. Used active voice/first person (I will) 2. Avoided the use of abbreviations 3. Avoided symbols or signs 4. Avoided spelling errors 5. Used short simple language (action verbs and complete sentence) 6. Written to be achievable at a confidence level of 7 or higher 7. Written to be frequency-specific 1.
