great project. thanks for making sure women have access to full reproductive healthcare. and thank you for sharing this with NAPCRG. https://www.graham-center.org/rgc/home.html
Great work and presentation! How were the two practice sites chosen? Because time seems to be a big barrier mentioned before implementation, I wonder how the size of the "time barrier" may be different in different types of clinics. In other words, I would guess that a clinic team seeing 8 patients in a half day may think this is less of a problem than a clinic team seeing 15 patients in a half day. Any thoughts on this? Thank you!
Thank you for your question! The two practices were chosen because they implemented OKQ previously in their clinic as part of a pilot study and so we used these clinics to assess implementation of the tool by interviewing the clinicians and staff. Your point about how different clinics might perceive the time barrier based on the relative number of patients being seen is interesting and could be something we look into further! The family medicine clinic, for example is bigger in terms of staff than the OB/GYN clinic but I am not certain that one clinic was seeing more patients in a half day than another. One issue that did come up along these lines is how the different clinics may be perceiving the time barrier based on their clinic type. Perhaps for a family medicine clinic, taking time to discuss reproductive goals seems like more of an interruption because the patient is there for a cold, whereas in an OB/GYN clinic, it would be expected that patients and clinicians would be having these types of discussions.
Great work! Such a great question for assessing patient's goals! -University of Chicago NS FM resident PGY3
