Using Design Thinking to Understand the Reason for Headache Referrals and Reduce Referral Rates.
Background: The demand for neurology services exceeds the current supply. We convened multiple stakeholders to learn what drives our primary care providers (PCPs) to refer patients with headache to our neurology practice. This information guided a collaborative effort to evaluate the impact of an electronic health record (EHR) headache tool on care delivery in our PCP clinics.
Recent findings: Neurology referrals and MRI ordering declined by 77% and 35%, respectively, after the release of the EHR tool for an estimated savings of $207,600 over 3 months. PCPs prescribing habits minimally changed.
Implications for practice: Electronically embedding a neurologist's knowledge in our PCP office was an effective way to shape the demand for headache consultation. By further leveraging stakeholder collaboration, we plan to improve the tool and disseminate it across our health system to reduce headache burden and health care costs.
期刊介绍：
Neurology® Genetics is an online open access journal publishing peer-reviewed reports in the field of neurogenetics. The journal publishes original articles in all areas of neurogenetics including rare and common genetic variations, genotype-phenotype correlations, outlier phenotypes as a result of mutations in known disease genes, and genetic variations with a putative link to diseases. Articles include studies reporting on genetic disease risk, pharmacogenomics, and results of gene-based clinical trials (viral, ASO, etc.). Genetically engineered model systems are not a primary focus of Neurology® Genetics, but studies using model systems for treatment trials, including well-powered studies reporting negative results, are welcome.
