SHARP Network Process Evaluation - Practitioner Interviews

In partnership with the NC Injury and Violence Prevention branch, the UNC Injury Prevention Research Center has been facilitating a peer learning network initiative for harm reduction practitioners in the central Appalachian region for the past 3 years. This initiative, the "Sharing Harm Reduction Practices (SHARP) Network," is funded by the CDC's Overdose Data to Action program and is entering the final project year. We are conducting a process evaluation of the network to document 1) the ways in which the network has supported practitioners in their work and 2) how we built the network in case other regions would like to replicate our efforts. We plan to conduct 8 qualitative interviews with peer members to understand their experience as network participants.

Elevate Remote CF Care

Hypothesis: The development of patient-focused tools and care processes will enable a transition from predominantly office-based CF care to a more convenient, co-produced model. The increased utilization of remote care will be associated with improved adherence to disease monitoring and complication screening guidelines and will increase patient satisfaction. Specific Aims: 1. Customize a patient-facing smartphone application (Nudge) designed to "coach" each patient toward a co-produced goal of convenient and effective health monitoring within the context of enhanced remote care. 2. Develop care processes that facilitate monitoring of respiratory status at home, using home spirometry and remote sputum collection, that include education, electronic reminders, and specimen collection/shipping supplies 3. Implement care processes that allow convenient access to necessary screening procedures, using the Nudge application to provide well-timed electronic reminders and track performance of screening tests.

Medicare Billing Codes: Practice-Level Use and Outcomes

I will study how many practices use Transitional Care Management or Chronic Care Management billing codes over time, and how these billing codes affect patient outcomes such as readmissions and emergency visits. In addition, I will interview practices as to why they choose to use or not use these billing codes.
