Objective: Few studies have examined the impact of a single clinical evidence technology (CET) on provider practice or patient outcomes from the provider’s perspective. A previous cluster-randomized controlled trial with patient-reported data tested the effectiveness of a CET (i.e., VisualDx) in improving skin problem outcomes but found no significant effect. The objectives of this follow-up study were to identify barriers and facilitators to the use of the CET from the perspective of primary care providers (PCPs) and to identify reasons why the CET did not affect outcomes in the trial.
Methods: Using a convergent mixed methods design, PCPs completed a …

An Initiative to Educate and Support Young Adults Diagnosed with Hypertension
Page Tomlinson, BS, RN, DNPc
Background: Hypertension is a common diagnosis in the US with significant long-term effects. While guidelines for optimal hypertension management exist, young adults lag behind older adults in treatment and control3. The young adult is arguably more capable of lifestyle changes, primarily due to fewer physical limitations than older adults. Promotion of disease self-management is the most effective way to engage young adults in seeking control over their blood pressure1,2. Lifestyle modification as a young adult decreases costs of care and …

Poor oral hygiene can have many adverse systemic effects in the elderly, including aspiration pneumonia. This project explored ways to increase dental care in the elderly, with the aim of decreasing rates of pneumonia along the way.
Genitourinary Effects Of Smoking In Men: An Alternative Approach To Smoking Cessation Through Patient Education, Michael J. Lawrence
Genitourinary Effects Of Smoking In Men: An Alternative Approach To Smoking Cessation Through Patient Education, Michael J. Lawrence

Smoking remains a prominent problem in Vermont, especially outside Chittenden County. The genitourinary effects of smoking tend to be poorly appreciated among patients. This presents an opportunity for further patient education and incentivization to quit. This project focused on the genitourinary effects of smoking in men, specifically highlighting how smoking increases risk of bladder cancer, poorer outcomes in prostate cancer, and a higher risk of erectile dysfunction. The project culminated in creation of an educational poster intended for display in patient bathrooms in a medical setting.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has been particularly stressful for a wide array of patients, which has manifested in a number of ways. At the Brookfield Primary Care Clinic in Brookfield, CT, one of the ways that this was most prominent was through the change in the way patients exercised and ate. The impact this will have down the line is unknown, but this study aimed to assess the degree to which these changes have permeated the lives of patients.

The expansion of telehealth with COVID-19 and recent recommendations to use at-home blood pressure monitoring to diagnose and monitor hypertension have increased the need for materials and education for clinicians and patients. A pilot project in Primary Care Internal Medicine UVM in Essex, VT, produced an electronic medical record dot phrase and compiled educational materials to initiate nurse visits for at-home BP measurements. Materials and experience with this pilot was researched for initiation of a similar program at UVM Family Medicine Hinesburg.
