Integration of SU and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, using a model known as Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), has been proven effective in reducing SU and improving health care equity. The SBIRT model includes screening, brief intervention (a short client-centered conversation providing an opportunity to identify/discuss concerns), and referral to treatment. The purpose of this study was to test whether an established quality improvement (QI) learning collaborative model could be used to support SU and SRH sites in implementing an SBIRT/SBIRT-like model to improve health outcomes for women. Five SRH sites and 4 SU sites across New York State participated in the Partnership to Advance Integrated Referrals (PAIR), an 18-month QI learning collaborative designed and implemented by Public Health Solutions.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Six standardized mixed-methods data collection tools were used over 18 months to gather process and outcome data from over 130 QI team members and site staff and over 5000 clients.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>By the end of PAIR, QI team members and site staff showed a reduction in bias, increased knowledge and comfort, increased rating of organizational practices related to client-centered care, and increased access to peer learning, information about best practices, and training and technical assistance. SU sites increased SRH screening from 47.9% in the first quarter of data collection to 67.4% in the final quarter and increased brief interventions from 92.5% in the first quarter to 100.0% in the final quarter. Similarly, SRH sites increased SU screening from 51.6% to 75.6% and increased brief interventions from 81.3% to 85.1%.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of the surges of COVID-19 inpatients into general hospitals in Israel on the compliance rates for selected quality indicators reported by these hospitals within the Israeli National Program for Quality Indicators (NPQI).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Compliance rate data were collected from the quality indicators reports made to the NPQI by participating hospitals. COVID-19 inpatient volume data were obtained from the Ministry of Health Digital Technologies and Data Division. Both datasets were analyzed on a week-by-week basis and plotted one alongside the other on a time scale.

This research investigates the relationship between the level of patient-engagement HIT and FQHC preventive health care quality outcomes.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>Based on the Uniform Data System (UDS), this study employed multivariable regression analysis to investigate the association between the level of patient-engagement HIT and FQHC preventive health care quality outcomes. FQHCs were placed in 4 mutually exclusive groups based on the level of FQHC use of patient-engagement HIT.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The results indicate that compared with the most comprehensive patient-engagement HIT at FQHCs, less comprehensive patient-engagement HIT was associated with lower rates of preventive care provision.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Comprehensive patient-engagement HIT across FQHCs may improve preventive health care quality outcomes. The results support policy incentives for FQHCs with less comprehensive levels of patient-engagement HIT to foster improved preventive care for their patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":20986,"journal":{"name":"Quality Management in Health Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141748973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
