Pulmonary Specialist-Health Coach Consult Model Pilot

Pulmonary Specialist-Health Coach Consult (PuSHCon) Model to Improve Access to Specialist Consultation and Receipt of Recommended Evidence-based Care for Vulnerable Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Asthma

The Pulmonary Specialist-Health Coach Consultation (PuSHCon) study examines the implemention of health coach-assisted consultations to improve access to specialist care and implementation of specialist recommendations for patients with COPD, asthma, and asthma COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS) for low-income and vulnerable patients seen at public health clinics. A limited number of patients (50) from two clinics will be enrolled in the pilot study; 25 patients from one clinic will receive a pulmonary consultation under usual care and 25 patients from the other clinic will receive the PuSHCon model.

While evidence-based care for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma can substantially reduce disease burden and prevent emergency visits and hospitalizations, it is estimated that 55% of patients with COPD do not receive all recommended care and that less than 50% of patients with asthma are well controlled. The proposed study is a one-year cluster randomized controlled pilot trial comparing the Pulmonary specialist-health coach (PuSHCon) model to usual care for primary care patients referred for a consultation with a pulmonary specialist. This study is intended to prepare the way for a larger randomized controlled trial comparing the PuSHCon model to usual care for primary care patients referred for a consultation with a pulmonary specialist. The investigators will use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to assess the implementation the PuSHCon model and measurement of patient-centered outcomes (Specific Aim 1) and the impact of PuSHCon model on patient reported quality of care, satisfaction, and patient receipt of care recommended by the pulmonary specialist (Specific Aim 2). The results of the current study will provide initial enrollment for a subsequent 5 year randomized controlled trial.

Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description: Cluster randomized controlled trial
Masking: Interventional
Masking Description:Investigators and the Data Safety Monitoring Board will receive data summaries that mask identification of groups.
Primary Purpose: Health Services Research
  • Behavioral: PushCon Model
    Pulmonary specialist consultation facilitated by a trained health coach, who will gather information from the patient and medical record prior to the consultation and will using health coaching skills to support implementation of recommended care.
  • Behavioral: Usual care
    Patients referred for pulmonary consultation will be scheduled for an in-person visit at the central hospital-based office. Recommendations will be provided to the primary care clinician. Implementation of those recommendations will rely on follow up of the primary care clinician.
  • Experimental: PuSHCon model
    A health coach will contact patients referred by their primary care clinician for a pulmonary specialty visit. The health coach will gather information from the patient and medical record and review the case with a pulmonary specialist. The specialist will provide recommendations to the primary care clinician based on the case review; the specialist may request an in-person patient visit if needed. The health coach will follow up with the primary care clinician and will support implementation of recommendations that the the primary care clinician accepts,
  • Active Comparator: Usual care
    Patients referred by their primary care clinician for a pulmonary specialty visit will be scheduled to see a pulmonary specialist, who will send recommendations to the primary care clinician. Implementation of the recommendations will be the responsibility of the primary care clinician.
