UMKC School of NursingHealth Literacy: A prescription for Patient Engagement

February 12, 2013

Page 2: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

“As clinicians, what we say does not matterunless patients are able to understandthe information we give them well enough to use it to make good health-care decisions. Otherwise we didn’t reach them,and that is the same as ifwe didn’t treat them.”

United States Surgeon General; Benjamin, 2010

Objectives

1. Define implementation and implementation science

2. Describe the implementation gap and its effects on evidence-based practices

3. Describe 4 strategies from implementation science research to assist with organizational changes and promote the best patient outcomes

Implementation

• Incorporating an innovation into routine practice.

• Includes a range of strategies to address individual, organizational, and systemic characteristics (e.g., skills training, administrative buy-in, policy changes).

ATTC Technology Transfer Workgroup, 2010

Page 6: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

Implementation Science

• Combines research across fields– Rural sociology– Medical sociology – Communication & marketing– Evidence-based medicine– Organizational change

• Studies how evidence-based practices are used in the real world

• Studies what strategies can help most efficiently implement evidence-based practices

Greenhalgh et al., 2004

Grei

“Passive approaches are generally ineffective and unlikely to result in behavior change.” (Grimshaw 2001)

Page 8: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

“Train and hope” doesn’t work either. (Stilen 2013)

Use Implementation Science to Create Successful Change

http://sisep.fpg.unc.edu/learning-zone/science-of-implementation/

Page 15: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

Create a Successful Implementation Team• Organizational Sponsor

– Leads implementation effort, appoints the Change Agent

– Acts as a mentor to maintain enthusiasm– Problem-solver, assists Change Agent and Team

Page 16: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

• Change Agent– Overall responsibility for implementation and plan– Supervisory position with responsibility and authority

to implement policy and programmatic changes– Recognized/respected for leadership, organizational

savvy, and persistence

Create a Successful Implementation Team

Page 17: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

• Implementation Team– Comprised of staff from all levels/roles

• Administrative, Supervisory, Support, Technical and/or IT• Patients

– Meet regularly– Review implementation planning

Create a Successful Implementation Team

Improvement Cycles

http://sisep.fpg.unc.edu/learning-zone/science-of-implementation/

Improvement cycles and other quality improvement strategies help you to manage the changes being implemented and to keep the focus on what is working.

Page 23: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

Improvement Cycles

Plan: Plan the change using the implementation plan

Do: Make the change

Study: Evaluate what happened

Act: Continue or go back to planning

Page 24: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

Implementation Stages

http://sisep.fpg.unc.edu/learning-zone/science-of-implementation/

Every change in clinical practice goes through multiple stages from exploring the options for change through fully implementing the change. The whole process takes several months to years.

Page 25: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

Implementation Stages

Initial Implementation•Implementation drivers•Manage change & expectations•Improvement cycles•Learn from mistakes•Celebrate progress

FullImplementation•Implementation drivers•Monitor outcomes•Improvement cycles•Components integrated•Fully functioning•Sustainability

Installation•Acquire resources•Create implementation plan•Develop infrastructure•Prepare staff

Exploration•Assess needs•Examine innovations•Assess fit•Promote “buy in”

Page 26: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

Use Implementation Science to Create Successful Change• Teams

– Build an implementation team

• Drivers– Training alone is never enough– Detailed implementation plan

• Improvement Cycles– PDSA cycles

• Stages– Implementing new practices takes months to years– Recognize the change process

Practices are Abandoned….

Five warning signs for De-adoption of EBPs

Massatti et al., 2008

Page 29: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

Lack of ongoing resources

Massatti et al., 2008

Page 30: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

Lack of support from external groups of the effort to change

Massatti et al., 2008

Page 31: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

Attitudes about the new practice – think we do it already versus open to learning and changing

Massatti et al., 2008

Page 32: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

Beliefs that the new practice does not fit with our knowledge/skills or the agency’s mission/philosophy

Massatti et al., 2008

Page 33: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

Beliefs that the new practice is neither easy to implement nor a permanent part of the agency’s services

Massatti et al., 2008

Page 34: Using Implementation Science to Effectively Implement Evidence-Based Practices Heather J. Gotham, PhD Mid-America ATTC UMKC School of Nursing Health Literacy:

Sustainability

• Plan for sustainability as you’re writing the grant/planning the project

• Prepare for turnover– Develop expertise in the agency– What are your re-training plans?

• Plan for continued resources where needed• Outcome data/continuous quality improvement
