Purpose: Building timely consensus among diverse stakeholders is important in primary health care research. Consensus can be obtained using the nominal group technique which includes 5 steps: (1) introduction and explanation; (2) silent generation of ideas; (3) sharing ideas; (4) discussion; and (5) voting and ranking. The main challenges in using this technique are a lack of representation of different stakeholder opinions and the amount of time taken to reach consensus. In this paper, we demonstrate how to effectively achieve consensus using an adapted nominal group technique that mitigates the challenges.

Methods: This project aimed to reach consensus on the priority care domains for individuals aged 65 or older, using an adapted nominal group technique with 4 strategies: (1) recruit 4 stakeholders groups (older people, clinicians, managers, decision makers) by using maximum variation and snowballing sampling approaches; (2) use remote tools to ensure high participation; (3) add an individual pre-elicitation activity to increase effectiveness; and (4) adapt discussions to the stakeholders' preferences for meaningful engagement.

Results: In total, 28 diverse stakeholders participated. After the pre-elicitation activity and 1 round of group discussion, we reached consensus on a priority domain called symptoms, functioning, and quality of care. Adaptive group discussions and remote tools were the most effective strategies. All participants strongly agreed that they were able to express their views freely. Some perceived a need for emphasizing the alignment between the research objectives and anticipated practice and policy implications.

Conclusions: This adapted nominal group technique is an effective and enriching method when timely consensus is needed among diverse stakeholders. Health care researchers in various fields can benefit from using this research methodology.

目的:在初级卫生保健研究中,在不同利益相关者之间及时达成共识非常重要。可以使用名义小组技术达成共识,该技术包括 5 个步骤:(1) 介绍和解释;(2) 默默提出想法;(3) 分享想法;(4) 讨论;(5) 投票和排序。使用该技术的主要挑战是缺乏对不同利益相关者意见的代表性以及达成共识所需的时间。在本文中,我们展示了如何利用经过调整的名义小组技术有效达成共识,从而减轻上述挑战:该项目旨在利用经过改良的名义小组技术就 65 岁或以上老年人的优先护理领域达成共识,该技术采用了 4 种策略:(1) 使用最大差异和滚雪球式抽样方法招募 4 个利益相关者群体(老年人、临床医生、管理人员、决策者);(2) 使用远程工具确保高参与度;(3) 增加个人预征询活动以提高有效性;(4) 根据利益相关者的偏好调整讨论,以实现有意义的参与:共有 28 位不同的利益相关者参与。经过预征活动和一轮小组讨论后,我们就一个名为 "症状、功能和护理质量 "的优先领域达成了共识。适应性小组讨论和远程工具是最有效的策略。所有参与者都强烈认为他们能够自由表达意见。有些人认为有必要强调研究目标与预期实践和政策影响之间的一致性:当需要在不同的利益相关者之间及时达成共识时,这种经过改编的名义小组技术是一种有效且丰富的方法。各个领域的医疗保健研究人员都可以从使用这种研究方法中获益。

Despite medical advances, diabetes management remains a considerable challenge in the United States, with little to no improvement in patient outcomes and stark disparities in underserved communities. One acute challenge is that, as the US population with diabetes grows steadily-numbering 38.4 million people today-there are too few endocrinologists available to treat the disease and the burdens on primary care professionals, who treat more than 90% of cases currently, are staggering. This disconnect between need and care capacity presents what may be the greatest of many threats to the care of diabetic Americans. To understand what is required to solve this need-to-capacity mismatch, we examine the critical role of primary care professionals and propose national policy approaches to empower and improve the nation's primary care architecture for the nearly 12% of Americans who have diabetes. Policy recommendations encompass the integration of the chronic care model and the patient-centered medical home approach, expansion of workforce development initiatives, and payment reform to incentivize team-based care with the aim of ensuring equitable access to essential diabetes management tools. We urge policy makers to prioritize primary care workforce development, enhance reimbursement models, and implement strategies to mitigate disparities in diabetes care. Evidence reviewed here highlights the critical need for a comprehensive, multidimensional approach to diabetes management in primary care, emphasizing the importance of decisive action by policy makers to equip primary care professionals with the necessary resources and support to effectively address the nation's diabetes epidemic.

尽管医疗技术在不断进步,但在美国,糖尿病管理仍然是一项巨大的挑战,患者的治疗效果几乎没有任何改善,在服务不足的社区,糖尿病患者的治疗效果也存在明显差异。一个严峻的挑战是,随着美国糖尿病患者人数的持续增长--目前已达 3840 万人--能够治疗糖尿病的内分泌科医生太少,而目前治疗 90% 以上病例的初级保健专业人员的负担则非常沉重。需求与治疗能力之间的脱节可能是美国糖尿病患者治疗面临的最大威胁。为了了解如何解决这种需求与能力不匹配的问题,我们研究了初级保健专业人员的关键作用,并提出了国家政策方针,以增强和改善国家的初级保健架构,为将近 12% 的美国糖尿病患者提供服务。政策建议包括整合慢性病护理模式和以患者为中心的医疗之家方法,扩大劳动力发展计划,进行支付改革以激励团队护理,目的是确保公平获得基本的糖尿病管理工具。我们敦促政策制定者优先发展初级医疗队伍,改进报销模式,并实施相关战略以缩小糖尿病护理方面的差距。本文所综述的证据突出表明,基层医疗机构亟需一种全面、多维的糖尿病管理方法,强调决策者必须采取果断行动,为基层医疗机构的专业人员提供必要的资源和支持,以有效应对全国糖尿病流行的问题。

Purpose: Primary care access is a key health system metric, but little research has compared models to provide primary care access when one's regular physician is not available. We compared health system use after a visit with a patient's own family physician group (ie, within-group physician who was not the patient's primary physician) vs a visit with a walk-in clinic physician who was not part of the patient's family physician group.

Methods: We conducted a population-based, retrospective cohort study using administrative data from Ontario, Canada, including all individuals formally enrolled with a family physician, from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020. We compared those visiting within-group physicians to those visiting walk-in clinic physicians using propensity score matching to account for differences in patient characteristics. The primary outcome was any emergency department visit within 7 days of the initial visit.

Results: Matched patients who visited a within-group physician (N = 506,033) were 10% less likely to visit an emergency department in the 7 days after the initial visit compared to patients who saw a walk-in clinic physician (N = 506,033; 20,117 [4.0%] vs 22,320 [4.4%]; risk difference [RD] 0.4%; 95% CI 0.4-0.5; relative risk [RR] 0.90; 95% CI, 0.89-0.92). Restricting to visits occurring on weekends, the observed association was stronger (7,964 [3.7%] vs 10,055 [4.7%]; RD 1.0%; 95% CI 0.9-1.1; RR 0.79; 95% CI, 0.77-0.82). Those accessing after-hours within-group physician visits were more likely to have ≥1 additional virtual or in-person within-group physician visit within 7 days (virtual RR 1.86, in-person RR 1.87).

Conclusions: Compared to visiting a walk-in clinic physician, seeing a within-group physician after hours might decrease downstream emergency department visits. This finding could be explained by better continuity of care and can inform primary care service models and the policies that support them.

目的:初级医疗就诊是医疗系统的一项关键指标,但很少有研究对在没有固定医生的情况下提供初级医疗就诊的模式进行比较。我们比较了患者在自己的家庭医生小组(即非患者主治医生的小组内医生)就诊后与在不属于患者家庭医生小组的随到随诊诊所就诊后使用医疗系统的情况:我们利用加拿大安大略省的行政数据开展了一项基于人群的回顾性队列研究,研究对象包括 2019 年 4 月 1 日至 2020 年 3 月 31 日期间所有正式注册的家庭医生。我们采用倾向得分匹配法,将就诊于组内医生的患者与就诊于免诊诊所医生的患者进行了比较,以考虑患者特征的差异。主要结果是首次就诊后 7 天内的急诊就诊情况:结果:在组内就诊的匹配患者(N = 506,033 人)与在门诊就诊的患者相比,在首次就诊后 7 天内到急诊科就诊的可能性降低了 10%(N = 506,033 人;20,117 [4.0%] vs 22,320 [4.4%];风险差异 [RD] 0.4%;95% CI 0.4-0.5;相对风险 [RR] 0.90;95% CI,0.89-0.92)。仅限于周末就诊,观察到的关联性更强(7,964 [3.7%] vs 10,055 [4.7%];RD 1.0%;95% CI 0.9-1.1;RR 0.79;95% CI,0.77-0.82)。那些在下班后接受组内医生诊疗的人更有可能在 7 天内接受≥1 次额外的虚拟或面对面组内医生诊疗(虚拟 RR 1.86,面对面 RR 1.87):结论:与看无预约门诊医生相比,下班后看组内医生可能会减少下游急诊就诊率。这一发现可能是由于医疗服务的连续性更强,可为初级医疗服务模式和支持这些模式的政策提供参考。

Purpose: The Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization (Dobbs) Supreme Court decision revoked the constitutional right to abortion. Now, restrictive state abortion laws may contribute to the shortage and strain already felt in primary care practice, especially related to the provision of reproductive health care. The purpose of this study is to evaluate perceived impacts of state abortion legislation on family medicine clinicians' practice and medical education regarding reproductive health care.

Methods: Ten questions were added to the 2022 Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance general membership survey to evaluate impact on relevant themes in reproductive health care and training after the Dobbs decision. Responses were categorized by severity of restriction of state abortion policies.

Results: Of 1,196 respondents, 49.7% reported employment in states with very restrictive or restrictive abortion policies. The 991 respondents with clinical responsibilities reported significant (P <.05) changes in their counseling practices, clinical decision making, worry of legal risks, and trust in patients' self-reported reproductive medical history, compared with peers in protective states. Perceived patient trust toward clinicians remained unchanged. Almost one-half of clinical respondents reported an absence of reproductive health care guidance or recommendations. Restrictive abortion policies significantly (P <.05) reduced the desirability and confidence in resident training programs.

Conclusions: Reported changes to clinical activities and training, coming early after the Dobbs decision, affect our current and future workforce and therefore, our patients. Future studies are needed to document continued impact of state restrictions and inform policy to support family medicine clinicians in reproductive health practice and education.

目的:最高法院对 "多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织案"(Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization,简称 Dobbs 案)的判决废除了宪法规定的堕胎权。现在,各州限制堕胎的法律可能会加剧初级保健实践中已经感受到的短缺和压力,特别是与提供生殖保健相关的短缺和压力。本研究旨在评估各州堕胎法对全科临床医生在生殖健康护理方面的实践和医学教育的影响:方法:在 2022 年全科医学教育研究联盟(Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance)普通会员调查中增加了 10 个问题,以评估多布斯案判决后对生殖健康护理和培训相关主题的影响。根据各州堕胎政策限制的严重程度对回答进行分类:在 1,196 名受访者中,49.7% 的受访者表示其所在州的堕胎政策非常严格或严格。有临床职责的 991 名受访者报告说,他们的临床活动和培训发生了重大变化:多布斯案判决后不久,临床活动和培训就发生了变化,这些变化影响了我们当前和未来的工作队伍,因此也影响了我们的患者。今后需要开展研究,记录各州限制措施的持续影响,并为支持全科临床医生开展生殖健康实践和教育的政策提供信息。

A 70-year-old man with complex multimorbidity and intellectual disability was my patient for the last 5 years of his life. He taught me important lessons about the challenges of practicing medicine as a primary care physician. He embodied all the complexities of multimorbidity, the ways in which clinical decision making can be fraught with uncertainties and tradeoffs. He raised difficult ethical questions for his care team, questions about how to respect the dignity of patients who lack decisional capacity and who do not have surrogate decision makers. The gaps in his care revealed shortcomings of the US health care system, but his care in his final years also showed some of the bright spots in coordinated, team-based care. Most importantly, caring for this patient taught me about the rewards of the human connections that primary care physicians establish with their patients.

我的病人是一位 70 岁的老人,患有复杂的多病症和智力残疾,在他生命的最后 5 年里,我一直在照顾他。他给我上了重要的一课,让我了解到作为一名初级保健医生所面临的行医挑战。他体现了多病症的所有复杂性,以及临床决策可能充满不确定性和权衡的方式。他给他的医疗团队提出了棘手的伦理问题,即如何尊重缺乏决策能力和没有代理决策者的病人的尊严。他在治疗过程中存在的缺陷暴露了美国医疗系统的不足,但他晚年的治疗也展现了以团队为基础的协调治疗的一些亮点。最重要的是,照顾这位病人让我了解到初级保健医生与病人建立人际关系的好处。

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of collaborative trauma-informed care (CTIC) for treating depression in primary care in Chile.

Methods: From August 2021 through June 2023, 16 primary care teams in the Maule Region of Chile, were randomly assigned to either the CTIC or usual treatment (UT) group. At baseline, 3 months, and 6 months, 115 patients in the CTIC group, and 99 in the UT group, were blindly evaluated. The primary outcome was reduction in depressive symptoms. Secondary outcomes included improvement in anxiety symptoms, interpersonal and social functioning, emotional regulation, and adherence. Intention-to-treat data analysis, using analysis of covariance was conducted.

Results: There were 214 patients recruited; 85% were women, and 61% had 4 or more adverse childhood experiences. At 6 months, depressive symptoms declined significantly in the CTIC arm relative to UT (adjusted mean difference [AMD]= -3.09, 95% CI, -4.94 to -1.23; d = -0.46, 95% CI,-0.73 to -0.18; P = .001). Anxiety symptoms exhibited a trend toward improvement in the CTIC vs UT group (AMD = -1.50, 95% CI, -3.03 to 0.31; P = .055). No significant differences were observed in other secondary outcomes, except for adherence, which was significantly higher in the CTIC vs UT groups (AMD = 2.59, 95% CI, 1.80-4.99; P = .035).

Conclusions: The CTIC approach demonstrated superior outcomes in treating depression and improving adherence compared with UT. Moreover, the observed trends in anxiety improvement warrant further exploration in future research with a larger sample size. It is necessary to assess the effectiveness of this approach in treating more complex, difficult-to-treat forms of depression.

目的:本研究旨在评估创伤知情协作护理(CTIC)在智利初级保健中治疗抑郁症的效果:从 2021 年 8 月到 2023 年 6 月,智利毛莱大区的 16 个初级医疗团队被随机分配到 CTIC 或常规治疗(UT)组。在基线、3 个月和 6 个月期间,对 CTIC 组的 115 名患者和 UT 组的 99 名患者进行了盲法评估。主要结果是抑郁症状减轻。次要结果包括焦虑症状、人际交往和社会功能、情绪调节和依从性的改善。采用协方差分析法进行了意向治疗数据分析:共招募了 214 名患者,其中 85% 为女性,61% 有 4 次或 4 次以上的不良童年经历。6个月后,CTIC治疗组的抑郁症状较UT治疗组显著下降(调整后平均差[AMD]=-3.09,95% CI,-4.94至-1.23;d=-0.46,95% CI,-0.73至-0.18;P=0.001)。焦虑症状在 CTIC 组和 UT 组中有改善趋势(AMD = -1.50, 95% CI, -3.03 to 0.31; P = .055)。在其他次要结果中未观察到明显差异,但坚持治疗的情况除外,CTIC 组与UT 组相比,坚持治疗的情况明显较好(AMD = 2.59,95% CI,1.80-4.99;P = .035):结论:与UT相比,CTIC方法在治疗抑郁症和提高依从性方面效果更佳。此外,观察到的焦虑改善趋势也值得在今后样本量更大的研究中进一步探讨。有必要评估这种方法在治疗更复杂、更难治疗的抑郁症方面的有效性。

As the population ages, the prevalence of cognitive impairment due to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer disease (AD) is expected to double in the United States to nearly 14 million over the next 40 years. AD and related dementias (ADRD) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality and among the costliest to society. Although emerging biomedical interventions for ADRD focus on early stages and are currently limited to AD, care management can benefit patients with ADRD across the disease course. Moreover, some causes of cognitive impairment are modifiable, and optimal overall management may slow or prevent additional decline. Nevertheless, a sizable proportion of cases of cognitive impairment among older adults remain undiagnosed. Primary care practitioners are often the first health care professionals to encounter cognitive concerns or to be able to observe changes in function resulting from cognitive impairment; hence, they have much to contribute to population health solutions for detecting cognitive impairment among older adults. In this report, we present key points and gaps in knowledge about methods for detecting cognitive impairment in primary care clinics. These were developed via an interdisciplinary Geriatrics Summit hosted by the National Academy of Neuropsychology in 2022, attended by representatives of national organizations engaged in work to improve care of older adults. We propose a novel workflow to facilitate detecting cognitive impairment during routine primary care, focusing on opportunities provided by the annual wellness visit, a preventive visit available to Medicare beneficiaries, along with additional recommendations and opportunities for clinical practice and research.

随着人口老龄化的加剧,预计在未来 40 年内,美国因阿尔茨海默病(AD)等神经退行性疾病导致的认知障碍患病率将翻一番,达到近 1400 万人。阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症(ADRD)是发病和死亡的主要原因,也是社会成本最高的疾病之一。虽然针对 ADRD 的新兴生物医学干预措施主要针对早期阶段,而且目前仅限于 AD,但护理管理可以使整个病程中的 ADRD 患者受益。此外,造成认知障碍的某些原因是可以改变的,最佳的整体管理可以减缓或防止认知障碍的进一步恶化。尽管如此,老年人中仍有相当一部分认知障碍病例未得到诊断。初级保健医生往往是最先遇到认知问题或能够观察到认知功能受损导致的功能变化的医疗保健专业人员;因此,他们在检测老年人认知功能受损的人群健康解决方案方面大有可为。在本报告中,我们将介绍在初级保健诊所检测认知障碍的方法的要点和知识差距。这些内容是在 2022 年由美国国家神经心理学会(National Academy of Neuropsychology)主办的跨学科老年医学峰会(Geriatrics Summit)上提出的。我们提出了一个新颖的工作流程,以促进在常规初级保健过程中检测认知障碍,重点关注年度健康访视(医疗保险受益人可享受的预防性访视)提供的机会,以及临床实践和研究方面的其他建议和机会。
