description | Background: Patient priorities care (PPC) is an effective age-friendly health systems (AFHS) approach to aligning care with goals derived from ‘what matters’. The purpose of this quality improvement program was to evaluate the fidelity and feasibility of the health priorities identification (HPI) process in VA Community Living Centers (CLC). Methods: PPC experts worked with local CLC staff to guide the integration of HPI into the CLC and utilized a Plan–Do–Study–Act (PDSA) model for this quality improvement project. PPC experts reviewed health priorities identification (HPI) encounters and interdisciplinary team (IDT) meetings for fidelity to the HPI process of PPC. Qualitative interviews with local CLC staff determined the appropriateness of the health priorities identification process in the CLC. Results: Over 8 months, nine facilitators completed twenty HPI encounters. Development of a Patient Health Priorities note template, staff education and PPC facilitator training improved fidelity and documentation of HPI encounters in the electronic health record. Facilitator interviews suggested that PPC is appropriate in this setting, not burdensome to staff and fostered a person-centered approach to AFHS. Conclusions: The HPI process is an acceptable and feasible approach to ask the ‘what matters’ component of AFHS in a CLC setting. |
