The Study: “The Toolkit”
• Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) developed “The Toolkit”▪ Workflow Assessment for Health IT Toolkit
• Purpose▪ Provide tools and resources to better integrate
technology into clinical care through workflow assessment
• Audience▪ Small- and medium-sized primary care clinics

Project Objective
• Evaluate the usability and suitability of AHRQ’s Toolkit
![Page 5: ... for our health The Value of Research Participation for Practices: A Case Study Erin Leege, MPH Amy Irwin, MS Paul Smith, MD Wisconsin Research and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/5a4d1b0e7f8b9ab05998d822/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Partners
• Oregon Rural Practice-Based Research Network (ORPRN)

Methods
• Eight Wisconsin clinics met regularly for about 10 weeks to discuss the Toolkit▪ Usually every other week▪ Research coordinators had
observational role
• Clinics self-identified workflow process needing improvement

Poor tracking of preventive care (focus: women’s physical exams)
Regular meetings with Planned Parenthood
Limited staff exposure to workflow assessment
Purchased Visio software to plan workflows throughout clinic
Results: Clinic 3 Changes
![Page 19: ... for our health The Value of Research Participation for Practices: A Case Study Erin Leege, MPH Amy Irwin, MS Paul Smith, MD Wisconsin Research and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/5a4d1b0e7f8b9ab05998d822/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Results: Clinic 3 Changes
• Discussed future model of care:▪ Clinic – preventive care▪ Planned Parenthood – contraception▪ Telemedicine
![Page 20: ... for our health The Value of Research Participation for Practices: A Case Study Erin Leege, MPH Amy Irwin, MS Paul Smith, MD Wisconsin Research and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/5a4d1b0e7f8b9ab05998d822/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Lessons Learned
• Drivers of successful change▪ Dedicated (paid) time▪ Someone serving as a reminder
۰ Research Coordinator
▪ Small, diverse team▪ Project champion

Conclusion
• In addition to completing the primary aim of this project, most clinics developed new workflow processes in their clinical practice.
• These results suggest that participation in practice-based research network (PBRN) projects may benefit clinical care in unanticipated ways.
