Hi, my assignment 5 is attached!
Hi like your 'AAA' acronym! Sure to catch on :)
It's good that you're targeting multiple parts of the COM-B framework. Both increasing capability and motivation.
One concern with electronic prompts like this is timing. They can be a good reminder, but if they come up at the wrong time, like after the patient is gone or when you're responding to an acute problem, they can be an annoyance. I wonder if there are also ways that you can foster opportunities to address anti-coagulation. Like for instance inviting patients who are eligible for a specific appointment to discuss anticoagulation, and providing them with an information pamphlet before hand so that they are ready to discuss the topic directly.
Hi Christine,
A really important gap to fill. In addition to what Kevin said, I wonder if the electronic prompt will be enough if involuntary omission is not the only reason physicians aren't prescribing. I wonder if adding an incentive to the training would make a difference.
Great work! Really nicely done with great explanations for each section. I was wondering what you thought about maybe training the clinicians to screen these AF patients quickly and effectively in a clinic setting. If the provider is concerned about this discussion of OAC taking too much time is there a way you could train them to be more efficient? I am not sure how long a standard screening for risks takes from patient to patient but I am sure you could get better initiation of screening from providers if you supplied efficient ways at these educational lectures to assess AF patients. Just a thought but great work overall.
