A New Combination of Evidence-Based Interventions to Improve Primary Care Diagnostic Safety and Efficiency
Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
Summary
The purpose of this study is to measure the evidence-based intervention's (EBIs) impact on patient safety and efficiency, to assess the EBIs implementation by measuring acceptability, appropriateness, cost, fidelity, penetration, and sustainability and to identify the facilitators and barriers that influence the degree of implementation of these EBIs.

Interventions
Enhanced diagnostic team implementing three evidence-based interventions
we designed an enhanced team process entailing: 1) using automated abnormal test result detection and tracking; 2) expanding the primary care team to include CPs to guide the evaluation of anemia to identify underlying causes; and 3) using NNs to engage patients in the healthcare team and diagnostic process and increase patient activation.
Usual care
Usual care involves primary care physicians ordering additional tests and referrals to evaluate patients with new anemia and decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) .
