Tailored Communications

AbstractIn more and more medical settings, physicians have less and less time to be effective communicators. To be effective, they need accurate, current information about their patients. Tailored health communications can facilitate positive patient-provider communications and foster behavioral changes conducive to health. Tailored communications (TCs) are produced for an individual based on information about that person. The focus of this report is on tailored print communications (TPCs). TPCs also enhance the process of evaluation, because they require a database and the collection of patient-specific information. We present a Tailoring Model for Primary Care that describes the steps involved in creating TPCs. We also provide examples from three ongoing studies in which TPCs are being used in order to illustrate the kinds of variables used for tailoring the products that are developed and how evaluation is conducted. TPCs offer opportunities to expand the reach of health professionals and to give personalized, individualized massages in an era of shrinking professional contact time.

Introduction: A positive safety culture is considered a pillar of safety in health organizations and the first crucial step for quality health services. In this context, the aim of this study was to set a reference evaluation for the patient safety culture in the primary health sector in Greece, based on health professionals’ perceptions. Methods: We used a cross-sectional survey with a 62% response rate (n = 459), conducted in primary care settings in Greece (February to May 2020). We utilized the “Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture” survey tool from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The study participants were health professionals who interacted with patients from 12 primary care settings in Greece. Results: The most highly ranked domains were: “Teamwork” (82%), “Patient Care Tracking/Follow-up” (80% of positive scores), and “Organizational Learning” (80%); meanwhile, the lowest-ranked ones were: “Leadership Support for Patient Safety” (62%) and “Work Pressure and Pace” (46%). The other domains, such as “Overall Perceptions of Patient Safety and Quality” (77%), “Staff Training“ (70%), “Communication about Error” (70%), “Office Processes and Standardization” (67%), and “Communication Openness” (64%), ranked somewhere in between. Conclusions: A positive safety culture was identified in primary care settings in Greece, although weak areas concerning the safety culture should be addressed in order to improve patient safety.

Survivors Of Torture

BackgroundA large proportion of vulnerable migrants may be survivors of torture, with complex health needs as a result; yet there is a lack of guidance or understanding of how to identify and record signs of torture. Clinical professionals in primary care are in a unique position to care for and support this patient population.AimThe primary aim of this study was to explore the primary care context of how signs of torture could be better recorded to support patients and meet their needs.MethodThis was a qualitative research study conducted through remote interviews with health professionals from a range of clinical backgrounds and experience of working with survivors of torture.ResultsTwelve health professionals participated in the study, with results analysed using applied thematic analysis. Seven themes were identified, ranging from the barriers to asking about and disclosing torture, the underlying purpose of doing so, political factors affecting this issue and various ways to potentially improve recording torture.ConclusionBefore clinical professionals can record torture, they must first ask the patient about it as survivors are unlikely to raise the topic themselves. Many clinical professionals lack the awareness or confidence to do this, thereby warranting further discussion on strategies to educate clinical professionals about torture. Accessible guidance and a simple, systematic method to identify survivors of torture which is suitable for a primary care setting is necessary, with suggestions for further research including routine enquiry and targeted screening.
