Abstract

Background The potential of primary care practice settings to prevent disease and morbidity through health habit counseling, screening for asymptomatic disease, and immunizations has been incompletely met. This study was designed to test a practice-tailored approach to increasing preventive service delivery with particular emphasis on health habit counseling.Design Group randomized clinical trial and multimethod process assessment.Setting/participants Seventy-seven community family practices in northeast Ohio.Intervention After a 1-day practice assessment, a nurse facilitator met with practice clinicians and staff and assisted them with choosing and implementing individualized tools and approaches aimed at increasing preventive service delivery.Main outcome measure Summary scores of the health habit counseling, screening and immunization services recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force up to date for consecutive patients during randomly selected chart review days.Results A significant increase (p=0.015) in global preventive service delivery rates at the 1-year follow-up was found in the intervention group (31% to 42%) compared to the control group (35% to 37%). Rates specifically for health habit counseling (p=0.007) and screening services (p=0.048) were increased, but not for immunizations.Conclusions An approach to increasing preventive service delivery that is individualized to meet particular practice needs can increase global preventive service delivery rates.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
