Practice-Based Intervention to Improve Care for a Diverse Population of Women with Urinary Incontinence
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The main goal of this clinical trial is to improve the care for urinary incontinence (UI) provided to adult women by primary care providers. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can a practice-based intervention involving primary care providers lead to improved quality of incontinence care? - Will this intervention reduce the utilization of specialist care for urinary incontinence? - What effect will this intervention have on patient outcomes, including disease-specific outcomes, symptom severity, quality of life, and patient knowledge? - Does our intervention reduce disparities in care? Provider participants will be randomized at the office level to either an intervention group or a delayed intervention (control) group. The intervention group will receive an intervention consisting of academic detailing, clinical decision support tools, electronic referral, and the ability to refer to an advanced practice provider for co-management. The delayed intervention group will provide usual care until the crossover phase of the study, at which point they will receive the same intervention as the intervention group. Patient participants will bring up urinary incontinence with their primary care provider and complete three electronic surveys. Researchers will compare the intervention group to the delayed intervention (control) group to see if the intervention results in increased adherence to evidence-based quality indicators.
