National goals at the practice level  Changes in asthma care practices and child health outcome  Successful implementation of practice system change  Clinician investment and commitment to quality improvement work  Transparency and sharing of improvement data  Increased clinician demand for CQN programming

National goals at the chapter level  Increased capacity for quality improvement work  Governance group engagement  Sustain QI work at the chapter level  Key partnerships focused on improvement work  Funding and will for continued quality efforts  Increased chapter demand for CQN programming

Improvement Work Continuous tests of changeSustainability Imbed in everyday work Scale Up & Spread Taking local improvement And actively disseminating it across a chapter and/or practice Our First 6 months

How are we doing at the National Level? Practice System Changes Percent of eligible providers collecting data at point of care

How are we doing at the National Level? Practice System Changes Registry Implementation Status

How are we doing at the National Level? Practice System Changes Options for Practices without a Registry

How are we doing at the National Level? Practice System Changes Degree of belief that workflows for collecting data for eligible patients/opportunities at point of care are highly reliable

Optimal Care >70% of patients have “optimal” asthma care (all of the following) assessment of asthma control using a validated instrument stepwise approach to identify treatment options and adjust therapy written asthma action plan patients >6 mos. of age with flu shot (or flu shot recommendation)

Optimal Asthma Care Oregon = 80%

Self-Management Oregon = 74%

Use of a Validated Instrument Oregon = 99%

Hospitalizations Oregon = 6%

Patients Well-Controlled Oregon = 51%

How are we doing in Oregon? 11 practices with high level knowledge of QI processes and implementation Increase in use of action plans NHLBI guideline use in managing asthma Increased use of spirometry Increased familiarity with registry concepts Use of validated screening instruments Using PDSA to overcome barriers

Next Six Months Improve Sustain Grow

Improve Practices will continue to review their current office flow Changes should be refined Opportunities for ongoing changes should be identified Key Driver Goals

Sustain Practices should review current processes with a view to sustain changes made during the project Consider how to continue to motivate staff, physicians, and patients Consider how to make changes part of the NORMAL flow, not an exception Consider how the practice will function AFTER CAQI

Grow Practices should involve all practitioners in change Practices should consider how to spread change to other areas of focus (ie obesity, ADHD) Practices should consider how to spread change to other practices
