Development of an Interdisciplinary Telehealth Care Model in a Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis Center
Background: People with cystic fibrosis (PCF) have unique physical and emotional needs, which are best met through interdisciplinary care (IDC). In the midst of the pandemic, our center aimed to begin a telehealth care model with an objective to increase successful care visits from baseline of 0?95%...

| description | Background: People with cystic fibrosis (PCF) have unique physical and emotional needs, which are best met through interdisciplinary care (IDC). In the midst of the pandemic, our center aimed to begin a telehealth care model with an objective to increase successful care visits from baseline of 0?95% by June 26, 2020, including meeting cystic fibrosis (CF) care standards of IDC visits that are coproduced through agenda setting with PCF.
Methods: Shifting IDC for pediatric CF patients to telehealth was part of a quality improvement initiative. Our team used asynchronous virtual visits (VVs), with the IDC team members' VVs done on different days than the physician's. Multiple plan?do?study?act cycles were completed to address evolving telehealth needs, including IDC team member flow logistics, communication with PCF, and surveying PCF for the patient perspective. Rates of IDC and agenda setting were measured from March 16, 2020 to June 26, 2020.
Results: IDC VVs were at 86% in March 2020 with fluctuations until mid-May when we reached 100% and achieved sustainability. Agenda setting was reached at 100% and maintained. With continued effort, an additional 46.3% of PCF registered for the patient portal, totaling 90.6% with access. Our survey revealed 100% of PCF were able to see IDC team members that they needed to, with 87% ?extremely satisfied? and 13% ?somewhat satisfied? with their telehealth experience.
Conclusions: Successful telehealth in pediatric CF IDC can be achieved through continuous communication, optimal utilization of available technologies, and may help foster unique opportunities to help improve health outcomes. |
