The Reducing Respiratory Emergency Visits Using Implementation Science Interventions Tailored to Setting (REVISITS) Study: A Cluster Randomized Trial
University of Chicago
Summary
This type II hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial will concurrently study the comparative effectiveness of virtual vs. in-person COPD care transition programs implemented via virtual mentored implementation approaches with and without co-design methods. The investigators will enroll up to 24 randomized sites (with a goal minimum of 16 sites) to: * Deliver the COPD programs implemented via mentored support in collaboration with SHM Center for Quality Improvement. * Compare the effectiveness and penetration of virtual versus in-person COPD care transition programs implemented along with mentoring support with or without co-design. The investigators aim to determine which combined approach(es) is/are the most effective at implementing evidence-based COPD program interventions and decreasing COPD acute care revisits with the greatest overall impact and sustainability.
Description
The COPD programs will be implemented via mentored support in collaboration with the SHM Center for Quality Improvement. Up to twenty-four hospitals will be randomized to one of four dyads: 1) in-person intervention delivery with virtual mentoring; 2) 1) in-person intervention delivery with virtual mentoring and co-design; 3) virtual intervention delivery with virtual mentoring; or 4) virtual intervention delivery with virtual mentoring with co-design. The research will use a pragmatic type II hybrid effectiveness-implementation cluster randomized trial such that once the hospital is randomize…

Since enrollment for Aim 2 will occur on a site/system-level, the inclusion of specific individuals who meet these criteria are not applicable since Aim 2 will only enroll hospital sites, not individuals. The sites the investigators enroll will represent diverse patient populations and geographical locations across the US.
Interventions
- BehavioralCOPD Transitions of Care Intervention Bundle: Virtual Interventions
The COPD Transitions of Care Intervention Bundle will be site-specific determined through Aim 1 contextual assessments and will consist of 2-3 evidence-based COPD transitions of care interventions. Virtual interventions included in the bundle may consist of: phone or e-consults for medication reconciliation, virtual teach-to-goal \[V-TTG\] or tele-TTG inhaler education, and post-discharge phone call communication and/or texts/ and/or electronic portal use, among others.
- BehavioralCOPD Transitions of Care Intervention Bundle: In-Person Interventions
The COPD Transitions of Care Intervention Bundle will be site-specific determined through Aim 1 contextual assessments and will consist of 2-3 evidence-based COPD transitions of care interventions. In-person interventions include face-to-face general COPD education, inhaler education, medication reconciliation, post-discharge clinic visits, community health worker home visits, pulmonary rehabilitation, smoking cessation programs, among others.
