Referrals Automatic CPOE-based
CPOE Prompt • Cardiac rehab prompt field was added to CPOE in August 2008 at Duke • This prompt was displayed as part of the cardiology admission order set. • It displayed eligibility criteria for cardiac rehab and served as a reminder to place a referral for appropriate patients.
Analyses • Data collected during the 5 months prior to institution of CPOE prompt were compared to data collected during the 5 months after institution of CPOE reminder • Number of referrals to cardiac rehab • Number of patients enrolled in cardiac rehab
Results • 1845 patients were discharged from Duke Hospital over the 10 months of the study who met CR eligibility. • 980 prior to CPOE prompt • 865 after CPOE prompt
Fixing Duke CR referrals by admission CPOE prompt Patients Eligible for Cardiac Rehab 1-year before New Referral System (n = 2584) Patients Eligible for Cardiac Rehab 1-year after New Referral System (n = 2626) 10% not referred Only 34% referred 66% not referred to cardiac rehab 90% referred to Cardiac rehab Patel et al. (in press)
Referral to CR is only half the problem Enrollment and Completion of the CR program is the real goal
Referral to CR is only half the problem Enrollment and Completion of the CR program is the real goal 172/471 = only 36.5% of those referred then enrolled
