Training providers to implement heart failure shared medical appointments: A qualitative evaluation
2024
Overview
Shared medical appointments (SMA) help patients learn skills to self-manage chronic medical conditions. While this model of care delivery is thought to improve access to care with an efficient use of healthcare providers’ time, many healthcare teams struggle to implement this healthcare model. Guidance and training resources on the implementation of SMAs is expected to improve adoption, implementation and sustainability of SMAs. Our evaluation team collaborated with the HF SMA trainer to complete a developmental formative evaluation of a two-day training program with a goal of adapting the training program and to better suit the needs and resources of healthcare teams interested in implementing HF-SMAs. Our evaluation team interviewed members of healthcare teams participating during each stage of training: pre-training, post-training, and post-implementation. The evaluation team also observed training sessions and reviewed minutes from debrief and training team meetings. Qualitative data collected from interviews, observations and document reviews were analyzed using matrix analysis with a focus on identifying potential adaptations to improve the HF-SMA training program. Data summaries were presented by the evaluation team to the training team for consideration. Training program participants found the training comprehensive, useful, and helpful; they highlighted how the trainers were experienced SMA providers who shared lessons learned. While participants found the training to be useful, opportunities for improvement, success of the virtual format and identified six adaptations: 1) the two-day training was reduced to short online modules, 2) curriculum was adapted to fit local site’s needs, 3) added periodic one-on-one coaching, 4) shifted training to focus on skills and knowledge needed for each team member requirements, 5) adapted curriculum provides for more team building during premeeting assignments, and 6) training had more information included. We offer/present an improved model for a HF-SMA training program. Future studies, potentially using comparative designs to measure success and sustainability are needed.
