The CAPTURE Study: Validating a Unique COPD Case Finding Tool in Primary Care (Aim 2) (CAPTURE)

The CAPTURE Study: Validating a Unique Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Case Finding Tool in Primary Care

This is a qualitative research exploration engaging clinical staff at all levels from 10 Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRNs) serving US patient populations of differing gender, racial, ethnic, urban/rural and socio-economic blends, in the incorporation of a one-page, five-item questionnaire with selective PEF measurement (CAPTURE).

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: On-site Practice Assessment; Other: Clinical Staff Questionnaires; Other: Modular online COPD Education; Other: COPD in Primary Care/CAPTURE Introduction Focus Groups; Other: Patient Opinion Surveys

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, multi-center qualitative study engaging clinical staff at all levels from primary care practices serving US patient populations of differing gender, racial, ethnic, urban/rural and socio-economic blends.

The CAPTURE tool consists of a 5-item self-administered questionnaire and selected use of peak expiratory flow (PEF) measurement, designed to identify clinically significant COPD.

This study will assess, using the RE-AIM approach, how real-word primary care practices might potentially use CAPTURE to: a) identify target populations (Reach); b) appraise optimal targeted respiratory history and symptoms consistent with clinically significant COPD (Effectiveness); c) integrate into practice workflow (Adoption); d) deliver changes and improvements to COPD care within the scope of real-world clinical practice (Implementation); and e) persist in use and quality over time (Maintenance).

Approximately 150 clinicians from 10 participating primary care practices will undergo detailed implementation investigation of the CAPTURE case finding model for clinically significant COPD. In addition, 200 enrolled participants will complete a 10-minute written CAPTURE opinion survey.

Using the RE-AIM framework and consistent phased qualitative analyses, this aim ascertains reach, impact, adoption, implementation and maintenance primary care feasibility recommendation characteristics of CAPTURE via pooled assessment of prescriber clinical staff, non-prescriber clinical staff, CAPTURE-eligible patients and local PBRN clinical quality improvement expertise from 10 primary care practices across 5 US regions.

Participation Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: Child; Adult; Older Adult
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: Yes

• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Practices participating in Aim 2, will be selected by each of their 5 affiliated PBRNs based upon willingness to participate and variability of primary care practice type within the PBRN. Differences in practice size, staffing, ownership, prior quality improvement engagement, geography, patient population socioeconomic status (SES) or languages spoken are among the among the selection criteria the PBRNs will utilize to choose.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Clinician Participants:

1. Provision of signed and dated informed consent form.
2. Stated willingness to comply with availability and all study procedures for the duration of the study by the 10 practices (through PBRN recruitment) and their up to 15 clinicians within (through informed consent).
3. Male or female, aged 45 - 80 years

Patient participants [200 participants enrolled in Aim 1 of the CAPTURE Study for an opinion survey]:

1. Provision of signed and dated informed consent form.
2. Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study.
3. Male or female, aged 45 - 80 years.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Clinician participants: current employment at practices participating in aims 1 and/or 3
2. Clinician participants: from practices providing fewer than 2 clinician participants
3. Patient participants: meeting the exclusion criteria for aims 1 and 3 (above)

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort	Intervention / Treatment
Clinician Participants; Two Aim 2 practices are selected by each of their 5 affiliated PBRNs based upon willingness to participate and variability of primary care practice type within the PBRN. Differences in practice size, staffing, ownership, prior quality improvement engagement, geography, patient population socioeconomic status (SES) or languages spoken are among the among the selection criteria the PBRNs will utilize to choose.	Other: On-site Practice Assessment; The assessment takes place in three parts; the pre-observation practice overview (conducted with the 2 practice clinicians - 60 minutes), the ½ day practice workflow observation (observation by one member of the Aim 2 research team of common and testing areas used for the respiratory patient). There is no patient engagement and no collection of patient-specific identification or health information), and the post-observation practice summary (conducted with the same 2 practice clinicians - 30 minutes).; Other: Clinical Staff Questionnaires; Written or on-line questionnaires are provided to participating and consented staff personnel at two practice levels -- Non-Prescribing clinical (also known as "support") staff and Prescribing (PR) clinical (also known as "provider") staff.; Other: Modular online COPD Education; Access to free, COPD on-line, continuing education is provided for all clinical staff at each practice. Each module will take 20 minutes or less. Aim 2 clinician participant access and completion of COPD education modules is assessed by clinician questionnaires and focus group item response over 12 months (between months 2 and 14 of Aim 2 timeline).; Other: COPD in Primary Care/CAPTURE Introduction Focus Groups; Two 45 to 60-minute focus group discussions occur at each Aim 2 practice. Focus groups are informed by practice demographics, practice assessment data, as well as patient opinion from CAPTURE surveys and past CAPTURE study. Focus group candidate themes and prompts are developed for non-prescribing clinical staff (NPR) and prescribing clinical staff (PR) and are presented at separate on-site focus group sessions to allow more detailed discussion of role responsibility in the context of daily practice workflow.
Patient Participants; 200 patients, who are enrolled in Aim 1 (approximately 40 from each PBRN) will be invited to take a CAPTURE opinion survey	Other: Patient Opinion Surveys; 200 Eligible participants will complete a one-time 5 to 10 minute CAPTURE opinion survey.
