Promoting preventive health screening through the use of a clinical reminder tool: an accountable care organization quality improvement initiative
Abstract
This quality improvement initiative was designed to increase clinical prevention performance rates in 11 Austin Regional Clinic primary care facilities as part of an accountable care initiative. The initiative was conducted between January 2011 and December 2011. The principal interventions included implementation of a care coordinator and care gap summary tool. The care gap summary includes recommended preventive healthcare services and serves as a prompt for healthcare providers. These interventions led to improvement in clinical prevention performance rates as demonstrated by aggregate organizational data. This initiative demonstrates that quality improvement initiatives including care gap summaries, workflow changes, and provider feedback can increase performance rates for clinical preventive services.

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.
