1 C A L I FOR N I A HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION s n a p s h o t Uncoordinated Care: A Survey of Physician and Patient Experience 2007
2 Introduction California s 36,000 primary care doctors are the point of entry for most patients needing care. In our fragmented health care system, they are often the only doctors who are responsible for the overall picture of a patient s health and health care. How well do they coordinate care and communicate with their patients? The California HealthCare Foundation asked Harris Interactive to survey the state s primary care physicians for a check-up on how they view their relationship with their patients. Four of every ten physicians report that their patients have had problems with coordination of their care in the last 12 months. More than 60 percent of doctors report that their patients sometimes or often experience long wait times for diagnostic tests. Some 20 percent of doctors report having their patients repeat tests because of an inability to locate the results during a scheduled visit. In spite of reporting difficulties coordinating care, physicians rarely use to communicate with other providers. The report finds that solo practitioners are better at some things, like coordination of care, but lag in others, like electronic access to test results and notifications of potentially dangerous drug interactions, while large health care systems like Permanente perform better California HealthCare Foundation
3 Patient Problems with Coordination of Care Across Providers and Sites, % Often 6% PRACTICE TYPE OF SOMETIMES AND OFTEN SUBSETS 24% 6% 35% 5% 37% 9% 39% About 40 percent of California physicians reported that over the past 12 months their patients experienced problems because care was not well coordinated across multiple sites or providers. Rarely/Never 58% Sometimes 33% practices were least likely to report that their patients experienced problems with coordination California HealthCare Foundation

5 Electronic Access to Diagnostic Test Results, % PRACTICE TYPE OF ROUTINELY SUBSET 19% 38% 69% 95% Electronic access to diagnostic test information allows results to be viewed earlier, decreases the ordering of unnecessary tests, and enables more timely intervention.

7 Patients Receiving Untimely or Inappropriate Follow-up on Positive Test Results, % Often 2% Sometimes 18% PRACTICE TYPE OF SOMETIMES AND OFTEN SUBSETS 18% 3% 16% 1% 19% 26% 2% Twenty percent of California physicians reported that their patients may not have received timely or appropriate follow-up on positive test results, which can lead to complications and delays in treatment. Rarely/Never 77% 2007 California HealthCare Foundation
8 Receipt of Patient Test Result Alerts, 2007 Almost 60 percent of PRACTICE TYPE OF YES, USING A COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM SUBSET California s physicians receive an alert to 3% No 39% Yes, using computerized system 24% 10% 9% 33% 62% provide patients with test results. However, less than 25 percent of these are received using a computerized system. s physicians receive automated alerts or prompts almost twice Yes, using manual system 34% as often as do physicians at other large practices California HealthCare Foundation

18 Preventable ED Visits*, 2006 All Other Recent ED Users 79% n=1,000 Preventable ED Users 21% PREVENTABLE ED USERS PREFERRING A VISIT TO A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN *ED (emergency department) users are those whose last visit to the ED either (a) occurred during weekday business hours and was for a problem that could have been treated by a PCP or; (b) was for a problem that could have waited longer than 24 hours to treat. Source: Harris Interactive, Exploring ED Use in California, July % In California, the lack of access to a PCP is the number one reason patients go to the emergency department, according to primary care and emergency physicians. Of the 21 percent of patients whose visits could have been prevented, almost 40 percent said they would have gone to a PCP instead of the ED if they could have gotten an appointment within 1 to 3 days California HealthCare Foundation 18

21 Communication with Patients, by Practice Type, 2007 Online communication 5% 13% 83% 15% 81% 2% 5% 7% 88% 24% 32% Often Sometimes Rarely between physicians and patients has been identified as one of a limited number of information technologies targeted for rapid development by the American Health Information 41% Community.* However, few physicians use to communicate with patients regarding treatment. (n=114) (n=147) (n=106) Sources: Harris Interactive, Health Perspectives in California, June 2007 and The Benefits of Electronic Medical Records Sound Good, but Privacy Could Become a Difficult Issue, February * The American Health Information Community is a federal advisory board that makes recommendations on the development and adoption of health information technology to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services California HealthCare Foundation 21
22 Conclusions Clearly there is room for improvement in the interactions that primary care physicians have with other providers and their patients. Though technology can help and larger medical groups have an advantage in the adoption of health information tools it is not the final answer. Even physicians with access to medical record systems still report problems with developing comprehensive medication lists for their patients, problems with patient records sometimes being unavailable at the time of a patient visit, and delays receiving and retrieving patient referral results. As frustrated as physicians may be with these information gaps, patients bear the brunt of the problem. Repeated tests and procedures, long waits to receive results from diagnostic tests, and inadequate follow-up have a negative impact on patients. Improving communication channels, perhaps even expanding the use of modern mechanisms such as , can go along away toward improving the quality and patient-centeredness of health care delivery California HealthCare Foundation 22

The survey was conducted by mail with 361 interviews obtained between February 26 and May 23, The survey data was weighted by gender, years in practice, office or hospital setting, and specialty to represent the statewide population of physicians in California. Sixtyone of the respondents did not provide information on their practice size and therefore were excluded from practice size analyses. The sample was drawn for the current AMA master file of all medical doctors practicing in California. Acknowledgment The instrument used in the survey of primary care physicians was based on one developed by The Commonwealth Fund for their international survey of physicians. The California HealthCare Foundation is grateful for the generosity of The Commonwealth Fund in allowing use of the survey and for advice in the development of this variation.
