| Popis: | 252 Background: Despite the growing call for use of guidelines in cancer care, adherence to clinical pathways and clinical care transformation is a challenge. Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC) has addressed this challenge, in multiple service lines, using its clinical pathways and serial measurement in a broad-based initiative to improve quality of clinical care. Methods: Moffitt launched an initiative focused on quality and improvements in care using Clinical Performance and Value (CPV) vignettes to measure multiple aspects of quality including: clinical decision-making, pathway adherence and appropriate utilization of tests/procedures. The CPVs—simulated patients cared for by providers on-line—are based upon the Moffitt Clinical Pathways. CPVs are given serially to benchmark, motivate providers, and provide confidential individual feedback. Data have been collected every 4 months since mid-2013. We report on three rounds in breast cancer and two rounds in lung cancer. Results: A total of 18 providers at MCC completed the breast cancer CPVs and 19 providers at MCC completed the lung cancer CPVs. Overall scores improved significantly and pathway adherence improved significantly for staging work-up and chemotherapy between rounds 1 and 3 for breast cancer (Table). Conclusions: Adherence to Moffitt Clinical Pathways for breast and lung cancer, using serial measurement and feedback with CPVs, improved across multiple providers and two diseases. This may have potential to transform practice. [Table: see text] |
