PRagmatic EVAluation of a Quality Improvement Program for People Living With Modifiable High-risk COPD.

Pragmatic Evaluation of a Quality Improvement Program for People Living With Modifiable High-risk COPD (PREVAIL)

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

A 3-year cluster randomized controlled trial of the impact of a quality improvement and clinical decision support package versus usual care for patients with modifiable high-risk chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with or without a current diagnosis.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

As a cluster randomized controlled trial, participants in PREVAIL are the Primary Care Teams. The PREVAIL CRT adopts the definition of PCT from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, "a group of primary care practice personnel who identify as members of a team and who work together to provide care for a panel of patients." Who May Qualify: - Primary Care Teams (PCTs) must be able to function as a single randomization unit with low risk of contamination between participants and physicians due to the absence of blinding in the intervention (see section 8.8 for details on blinding). - PCT must have a sufficient number of patients meeting modifiable high-risk patient criteria (see section 8.1 on sample size estimates). - PCT must express willingness to be randomized to either receive the CONQUEST program initially, or usual care until program roll-out to the delayed intervention arm. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - PCTs that are in the process of, or planning to change EHR software provider or practice ownership within the trial outcome evaluation period - PCTs engaged in active research studies or COPD related Quality Improvement Programs which might impact the ability to implement CONQUEST program. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

CONQUEST Quality Improvement Program

CONQUEST supports primary healthcare professionals to diagnose, assess, and optimize the management of their patients with modifiable high-risk COPD, through the promotion of guideline-based care. CONQUEST will promote management according to four "Quality Standards" for the care of modifiable high-risk COPD patients. The Quality Standards can be summarized as the timely and appropriate: Identification of high-risk patient groups for assessment; Assessment of disease and quantification of future risk; Non-pharmacological and pharmacological intervention; Follow-up. CONQUEST program will promote adherence to these standards through the use of electronic medical record -based algorithms for the identification of high-risk patients and clinical decision support resources. All decisions regarding patient management are made entirely at the discretion of the clinicians and patients who together negotiate the preferred course of action during consultations.
