Identification of Patients With a Diagnosis of Bronchiectasis: Evaluation of an Educational Intervention
A study of an educational intervention of primary care practice physicians to assist in the identification of patients who have Bronchiectasis and to assess the effectiveness of the specific didactic educational intervention targeting primary care physicians in the recognition of Bronchiectasis.

Detaljert beskrivelse
A pilot study will be conducted for the purpose of evaluating an educational intervention (Description in Appendix A). As part of the educational intervention, primary care physician(s) will be trained in the use of an algorithm to guide assessment of patients seen with a respiratory chief complaint, and who have not previously been identified as having a diagnosis of BE. We propose an evaluation of three primary care practice(s) to compare the number of patients identified in three three-month periods as having a diagnosis of BE.
The evaluation periods will be as follows: Period 1) the three-month period immediately following the intervention, Period 2) the three-month period immediately preceding the intervention, Period 3) the three month period starting one year prior to the intervention.

|---|---|
|
Immediately preceding intervention
3 months immediately before the education event.
Charts of patients with a primary respiratory complaint will be reviewed so evaluate if they 1) have experienced 3 or more suppurative respiratory infections and 2) have required 3 or more courses of antibiotic therapy for respiratory infection over the period of one year.
4) Whether or not they underwent a HRCT, and if so, and 5) Were the patients diagnosed with BE.

|
|
3 months after educational event
3 months immediately after the education event.
An active assessment will be preformed as per the proposed diagnostic algorithm (attachment B) Patients that meet all criteria in the algorithm are considered at risk for bronchiectasis and based on these criteria, physicians will be encouraged to order HRCT, and the number/ proportion of patients identified with BE will be noted and compared to the other time periods.
|
The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of primary care physicians in diagnosing BE and evaluate the impact of an educational intervention targeting those primary care physicians and providing instruction in the recognition and treatment of BE.
The hope is that a better understanding of the disease will result in more accurate diagnoses and ultimately in more appropriate care for these patients.
In addition to better care for patients, earlier recognition of bronchiectasis may result in a decrease in health care costs.

Seasonal prior year
As respiratory illnesses are commonly seasonal, an assessment of rate of Bronchiectasis diagnosis during the months of Period 2 in the year prior to the educational intervention will also be assessed as described in Period 1
