Background/Purpose: To understand clinic personnel feedback regarding the implementation of a self-administered patient decision-aid (PtDA) for lupus in regular, outpatient rheumatology clinics.
Methods: We provided self-administered lupus PtDA through a touchscreen tablet in clinics, a weblink or as smartphone application, in 15 rheumatology clinics across the U.S. Clinic personnel outcomes were assessed at baseline, 12- and 24-month follow-up based on validated surveys included: (1) Organizational Readiness to Implement Change (ORIC; score range 1-5); (2) Team Learning and Psychological Safety Survey (TLPSS; score range 1-7); and (3) perceived lupus PtDA appropriateness, acceptability, feasibility, success, permanence, and sustenance (all scale score range of 1-5). Higher scores are consistent with best/most desirable outcomes.
Results: Clinic personnel’s (n=182-184) baseline ORIC commitment and efficacy scores (range 1-5) ranged from 3.5 to 4.2, and 3.4 to 4.4 for sites, respectively; TLPSS scores (range 1-7) were 3.9 to 5.5 for internal learning, 3.7 to 5.6 for external learning, and 4.3 to 6.2 for psychological safety.
Clinic personnel perceived lupus PtDA outcomes optimally at baseline with all scale score range of 1-5, higher values indicating better outcome: (1) appropriateness, 3.43 (SD, 0.86); (2) acceptability, 3.53 (SD, 0.83); (3) feasibility, 3.44 (SD, 0.71); (4) success, 3.41 (SD, 0.73); (5) permanence, 3.22 (SD, 0.74).
Conclusion: We found that clinic personnel rated various aspects of the lupus PtDA well during its implementation in rheumatology outpatient clinics. It remains to be seen as to whether barriers to sustaining this lupus PtDA, which is freely available in the public domain now, can be overcome in busy clinic sessions. We also need to understand if different barriers and facilitators operate in private versus academic rheumatology clinics.
