Introduction & Objective: A longitudinal analysis was performed to evaluate a systems-based Quality Improvement Educational intervention (QIEi), designed to enhance disease management of T2D patients with/or at risk of CVD/CKD. This analysis aimed to assess if the QIEi increased SGLT-2i/GLP-1RA prescriptions for eligible patients.
Methods: The QIEi was deployed at 2 primary care sites from a USA integrated delivery system (IDS) and included baseline EHR data review to inform gaps; webinars on best practices; case-based group discussions; and team-designed process improvements and enhanced communication strategies. To assess impact, along with a practice assessment quantitative questionnaire, qualitative interviews and post-webinar quantitative assessments, EHR data were pulled and analyzed from the 2 implementation sites and IDS remaining sites at baseline and 6, 12, and 18 months.
Results: No clinically significant differences in prescription of SGLT-2i/GLP-1RA were observed post-intervention for T2D patients with/or at risk of CVD/CKD, and no differences observed between implementation and non-implementation sites (Table 1).
Conclusion: Persistent challenges in translating education into practice among HCPs needs to be identified and addressed to improve the quality of disease management for T2D patients with/or at risk of CVD/CKD.
