Changes in burnout and satisfaction with work-life integration in physicians and the general US working population between 20. From triple to quadruple aim: care of the patient requires care of the provider. A larger-scale study over a longer time period is needed to confirm findings and examine feasibility and cost-effectiveness.Įfficiency Productivity Quadruple Aim Quality improvement Team-based care.īerwick DM, Nolan TW, Whittington J. These preliminary results support the feasibility of introducing substantial process changes that show promising improvement in both the Quadruple Aims and productivity. The intervention group offered 48% more patient slots than the average reference team. Compared to the reference team, the intervention team performed better in all Quadruple Aims and productivity measures. Clinic output data were retrieved for 467 visits. In total, 46 team surveys and 156 patient surveys were collected.

Study outcomes were measured via provider/staff and patient surveys and administrative data. The five remaining providers and their teams comprised the reference group, who continued patient care as usual.

One provider and their team implemented an efficiency-focused intervention that modified work roles and processes focused on utilizing all team members' skills as allowable by applicable licensure restrictions. Participants were 25 employees and their patients in a primary care clinic. This quasi-experimental pilot study tested a 2 week intervention aimed to address the Quadruple Aims while improving productivity.
