Improving Patient Communication About SUDEP
Paraules clau
Resum
Descripció
Specifically, the investigators propose the following:
Aim 1: Add a "SUDEP module" to CHICA to identify children at increased risk of SUDEP, provide patient education materials that the clinician can share with the families, and recommend timelier follow-up with a child neurologist. The SUDEP module will be added to the existing installation of CHICA in the Eskenazi Health System in Indianapolis, IN so that SUDEP risk screening and advice are generated automatically in the setting of routine primary care in the 5 Eskenazi clinics.
Aim 2: Interview families of patients with epilepsy to determine if their pediatricians shared the SUDEP information and/or referred them to their neurologist. Families whose children are at risk for SUDEP will be identified through CHICA. The investigators will utilize the Pediatric Practice-based Research Network (PResNet) to follow-up these families by phone after their visits with the pediatrician. PResNet will determine if SUDEP was discussed, if a handout was provided, and if SUDEP has been discussed previously by their pediatrician or neurologist.
Aim 3: The investigators will assess physician and staff satisfaction regarding the SUDEP module of CHICA. Each year, PResNet will conduct a satisfaction survey among the clinic physicians and staff that use CHICA. The survey consists of general questions about CHICA that are asked every year and module-specific questions about new functionality that has been added.
