Overview  Significance to Public Health  Background and Objectives  Methods  Results  Conclusions and Implications for Public Health

SIGNIFICANCE TO PUBLIC HEALTH

Significance to Public Health  Broken appointments are problematic for multiple reasons  Patient does not receive care  Other patients miss opportunities for care  Dental center staff are inconvenienced  Lost revenue

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Background and Objectives  Cleveland Avenue Dental Center  Entity of Forsyth County Department of Public Health in Winston Salem, NC  Provides low-cost dental services to community  Accepts Medicaid, NC Health Choice, and self-pay (sliding fee scale)  2015: 44.7% of all appointments were broken 1  Research question:  Why do patients break appointments? 1 Steele, D. (2016, January 01).

Theory of Planned Behavior 1 1 Ajzen, I. (1991). 2 Lapidos, A., Shaefer, H. L., & Gwozdek, A. (2015). 3 Lacy, N. L., Paulman, A., Reuter, M. D., & Lovejoy, B. (2004). 4 Mathu-Muju, K. R., Li, H., Hicks, J., Nash, D. A., Kaplan, A., & Bush, H. (2014). Attitude: Negative (fear 2, treated poorly 3, long wait times 3 ) Subjective Norm: Not a problem; dentist enjoys the break 3 Perceived Behavioral Control: Lack of resources (insurance, money, transportation, child care, leave from work) 3,4 Intention to Attend Appointment Appointment Attendance

METHODS

Methods  Qualitative method  Structured Interviews (15 total)  Questions based on “Why We Don’t Come” 3  Convenience sample of adults in waiting room One day per week for one month total $5 Wal-Mart gift card as compensation  General thematic analysis of data  Data analyzed by PHAP team – Holley Hooks, Tracey Semcer, and Hope Tranberg 3 Lacy, N. L., Paulman, A., Reuter, M. D., & Lovejoy, B. (2004).

RESULTS

Results  n = 14

Results  n = 14

Results - Attitudes  Fear  “I didn’t wanna come cause I felt like I didn’t floss right or I didn’t brush right or might be a cavity or I might need to get somethin’ pulled”  Low Priority  “Some people don’t have their priorities straight. They figure, ‘Well, you know, I got this service and if I don’t go today, then they gon’ reschedule me.’”  Also unnecessary, unpleasant, excuses, lack of courtesy, taking services for granted, embarrassment

Results - Barriers  Transportation  Work  Emergencies  Unexpected events  Forgetting  Incorrect patient phone number/address

Results - Norms  Dental staff inconvenienced by broken appointments  “They will be very frustrated because of course if you don’t know someone’s coming, then somebody else coulda had that slot time”  Other patients inconvenienced by broken appointments  “That’s like, kind of like a waste of time, like cause other people are also waiting to be taken back to get their teeth checked on and stuff like that”

Results – Why people DO come to appointments  Reminder calls and texts  TransAid  Concern for oral health  Customer service satisfaction

CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS

Conclusions  Multiple reasons why people miss appointments  Forgetting, lack of transportation, fear, etc.  General sense of understanding that broken appointments are an inconvenience for everyone involved  There are changes that the Cleveland Avenue Dental Center can make to decrease the rate of broken appointments

 Limitation  Interviewed people who were at appointments – not those who broke appointments  Strengths  Diverse sample  Saturation  Learned why patients DO come to appointments Ability of dental center to make policy changes Limitations and Strengths

Implications  Bus passes  After hours appointments to match other health department clinics  Text reminders  Phone number and address update at registration Operations Manual
