Evaluating a Strategy to Improve Pre-Anesthesia Care Discussions (My Anesthesia Choice-Hip Fracture)
Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania
Summary
The objective of this study is to assess the implementation process for and the effectiveness of a quality improvement (QI) strategy to increase shared decision-making around anesthesia options for hip fracture surgery at 6 US hospitals. The QI strategy is to be facilitated by a clinician-administered 1-page bedside conversation aid designed to improve the quality of physician-patient communication, paired with brief clinician training. The evaluation will occur via a stepped wedge, cluster randomized trial to be carried out over a period of 34 months.
