EXPLORING YOUR DATA FOR CQI

Lake County Tribal Health Consortium Lake County, CA Gemalli Austin, DrPH, RD, CDE, Diabetes Education Program Manager Lake County Tribal Health Consortium, Inc. Cathy Ferron, MBA, Evaluator, Ferron & Associates

Using Data for Improving DSMP Completion Analyzing Data on Participant Confidence for CQI Exploring Health Measures Data for further CQI analysis Future CQI Questions to be considered

Learning Objectives

Lake County Tribal Health

• Between September

2016-March 2018, 11 DSMP workshops were held at 8 sites around the lake

• 6 Tribal sites, a Senior

Center & LCTHC

• Total of 91 participants,

with 41% completion rate

DSMP Participant Demographics

• 91 participants, with overall completion rate of 41%
• 100% Native American
• 73% Female; 27% Male
• 89% Live with others; 11% live alone
• 62% under age 60; 28% in 60’s; and 10% 70 and older
• Conditions of Participants
• 86% have 2 or more chronic conditions
• Diabetes 73%
• Hypertension 60%
• Obesity 53%
• Chronic Pain 49%
• Anxiety/Depression 35%

Problem Statement: We are having trouble retaining participants to become DSMP workshop completers.

Possible Causes

• People
• Do health conditions of participants affect completion rate?
• Are completion rates different for participants who live alone or with
• thers?
• Environment
• Is there a seasonal impact on completion rates?
• Communication
• Does communicating through the tribe and use of tribal site help

completion rates?

• Methods
• Does the scheduled time affect completion rates?
• Do specific classes have more dropouts than others?

Does the health condition(s) of participants have bearing on our completion rate?

Conditions of Participants Completion Rate 2 or more conditions 42.4% Diabetes 41.6% Hypertension 42% Obesity 42% Chronic Pain 42% Anxiety/Depression 42%

Program Response: Provided training on Mental Health First Aid to be able to better respond to participant needs. Opportunities for stretch breaks during classes.

Does participant living arrangement have bearing on our completion rate?

Living Arrangement Completion Rate Overall 41.0% Lives Alone 31.8% Lives with Others 43.9%

Program Response: Develop better connections for those living alone with Lifestyle Coach or other workshop participants. Upcoming Motivational Interviewing training for Lifestyle Coaches & Community Leaders.

Is there a seasonal effect on our completion rate?

36.4% 57.7% 38.3% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Sept 2016-Mar 2017 Mar 2017-Sept 2017 Sept 2017-Mar 2018

% of Participants Completing

Program Response: Developed outreach plan & HDAC members are working on specific areas of outreach. Providing transportation options.

Does location of workshop have bearing

• n completion rate?

5 10 15 20 25

Program Response: Better connections to tribal organizations, including Casinos and TANF programs. Door-to-door outreach on Rancherias.

Does scheduled time of workshop have bearing on completion rate?

57% 27% 54% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Morning Afternoon Evening

% of Participants Completing

Program Response: Offering more evening workshops. Considering weekend offerings (based on recent response to clinic needs assessment) to test response.

Which class(es) have greatest number of participant drop-outs?

10 20 30 40 50 60 Class #1 Class #2 Class #3 Class #4 Class #5 Class #6 Total Participants # of DropOuts from previous class

Program Response: More practice and coaching of Community Leaders to improve delivery of material and increase participant enthusiasm and engagement in each class.

Results of Participant Confidence Data Analysis for CQI Purposes

Developing Health Measure Data for DSMP Completers

Diabetes Obesity Hypertension

N=37 73% F 27% M Under 45 8% 2 or more Health Conditions 95% 81% 62% 76% Age 45-59 32% Age 60-69 49% 4 or more Health Conditions 78% Age 70+ 11%

Patient # Weight Pre/Post BP Pre/Post Systolic/Diastolic A1C Pre/Post #1 / #2 / #3 / #5 / #6 / #7 / #9 / #10 / #12 / #13 /

Next Steps

• Continue looking for answers related to low completion

rates and test ideas for improvement

• Cultural enhancement similar to Wisdom Warrior
• Continue expanding health measure data dashboard for

completers to better understand health status of post- workshop participants

• Develop comparison group of non-completers
• Continue expanding referral tracking & participant

connections to aftercare to make long-term health changes
