Implementation of a Depression Screening Protocol Using the PHQ-9 Instrument to Screen for Depression and Initiate Billing for a Brief Behavioral Assessment in an Outpatient Behavioral Health Office in Southern New England
No full textBackground: Depression has many devastating effects on individuals and families. At the project site, there is no standard operating procedure (SOP) for depression screening, and the office is not reimbursed for these screenings.
Method: This quality improvement project aimed to determine whether implementing a standard operating procedure (SOP) would increase the utilization of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) tool and the addition of the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code. Piloted over six weeks in an outpatient Behavioral Health Office in Southern New England, it involved implementing the PHQ-9 in all adult visits and a retrospective chart review. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) framework was the theoretical foundation.
Results: Anonymized electronic medical records indicated a rise in PHQ-9 screenings from 3 visits during a 6-week retrospective period to 173 post-implementation. The documentation for 96127 increased from 0 in the pre-implementation period to 170.
Conclusion: Implementing this SOP can enhance depression screening and reimbursement, though a more extended screening period is needed for greater reliability
Medical Device-Related Pressure Injuries Associated With Endotracheal Tube Securement Practices: A Retrospective Study
No full textMedical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPIs) are a significant and preventable source of patient harm, particularly in critically ill patients requiring endotracheal intubation. The method of endotracheal tube (ETT) securement may influence the development, location, and severity of these injuries. This retrospective quality improvement study examined the incidence and characteristics of MDRPIs associated with different ETT securement practices—commercial devices versus traditional ties and adhesive tapes—in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The study also explored patient-related risk factors contributing to MDRPI development and clinical outcomes. Data was collected from 51 adult ICU patients with documented MDRPIs between January 2023 and June 2024 at a tertiary care hospital. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze associations between securement methods, patient characteristics, and outcomes. A significant association was found between securement methods and injury location (p = .012). Ties/tape were more often linked to ear injuries, while commercial devices were associated with lip and oral mucosa injuries. Intubation duration of seven days or more significantly increased MDRPI risk (p \u3c .001). Lower Braden scores, male gender, vasopressor use, and low albumin levels were common among affected patients. Although older patients had higher mortality, a greater proportion of MDRPI cases occurred in patients under age 65. Patients with ties/tape securement had higher in-ICU mortality, while those with commercial holders were more often transitioned to a lower-acuity level of care (p = .016). These findings highlight the importance of prevention strategies tailored to securement methods and patient risk profiles
