RESIDENT EDUCATION PROGRAM

MISSION The Family Medicine Residency Program trains residents to be competent, compassionate, ethical and professional physicians who provide comprehensive care to their patients in a continuity of care model. Emphasis is placed on practical and direct patient care-based training in addition to didactic teaching that enhances the learning environment. Our program is also committed to supporting each resident in his or her educational endeavors, whether the resident selects a clinical path or moves on to a fellowship, academic medicine or research. New initiatives in the program include emphasis on high quality care and patient safety as well as enhanced academic and research opportunities. Our mission is to instill in our residents the love of lifelong learning by providing the framework and tools to ensure success in the long-term art and practice of medicine.

PROGRAM PROFILE The University of Florida Family Medicine Residency Program has made a significant impact on the care provided to patients in Alachua County and northern Florida since 1973. Since then, 276 graduates have entered the family physician workforce as providers of comprehensive medical care, academics, and providers of specialty care in geriatrics, emergency medicine, hospital-based medicine and sports medicine.

CURRENT ACTIVITIES AND HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2014-2015 This year the residency site at north Main achieved certification as a Patient Centered Medical Home with plans to work toward recognition at the highest level. We continued our ongoing efforts toward multi-level resident quality improvement projects this year. Our three teams were facilitated by Peter Carek, MD; Karen Hall, MD; and John Malaty, MD and included projects on immunizations, obesity and chronic kidney disease management. The program also conducted physicals for high school athletes, the Special Olympics and Pop Warner Little Scholars and provided educational support for local schools in health, tobacco avoidance and lifestyle education. We moved closer to reconfiguring the office practice in a team-based concept, with increased continuity and access to care for our patient panels that will be an ongoing effort over the coming years. Beginning next academic year, we will see greater use of registries and team management. The program’s attention to enhancing scholarly activity paid off well over the year. Our residents traveled to national sports medicine meetings and presented posters while our faculty and residents presented at the national STFM held this year in Orlando. Sally Hinman, MD won the Best Resident Presentation in the Jacksonville Sports Medicine conference. As we welcomed our new interns, we graduated the class of 2015. Six of our ten graduates will be staying in Florida. Our graduates continued the trend of 100 percent board certification that marks three consecutive years of 100 percent pass rate. Additionally, we saw our In-Training Exam scores improve and exceed national means.

RESIDENT EDUCATION PROGRAM

BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE The Behavioral Medicine Program faculty and staff participate in projects and activities involving all major missions of the department and the UF College of Medicine, including teaching and administrative activities, direct patient care services and consultation, and research and scholarly activities. In terms of educational programs, the Behavioral Medicine Program faculty undertakes the development and implementation of medical educational programs for family medicine residents, medical students, community practicing physicians and academic physicians. One major focus of the program is on curricula designed to educate medical trainees in various aspects of the biopsychosocial model of care, including home visits and office-based lifestyle modification (e.g., smoking cessation, healthy exercise patterns). Other areas of special emphasis include 360-degree evaluation of resident performance, including physician-patient communication skills and professionalism. The Behavioral Medicine Program is an integral part of the clinical mission of the department. The faculty and staff of the program provide psychotherapy and evaluation services to patients referred by the physician faculty of the department and by the family medicine residents. In addition, the behavioral medicine faculty often combine clinical care and resident educational activities. MEDICAL STUDENT CURRICULUM The Behavioral Medicine faculty are involved in teaching activities for medical students during their first, second, third and fourth years of training, including:

• Co-leading small groups during the Essentials of Patient Care and Interdisciplinary Family and Health sections of the medical school curriculum.

• Workshops and lectures on Behavioral Medicine topics for students during their third and fourth year clerkships.

• Ten to 12 lectures on human behavior and mental health presented as part of the Residency Program didactic sessions for third year Family Medicine and Ambulatory Care clerkship and fourth year required Medicine rotation students.

• Behavioral Medicine faculty consult and precept third and fourth year medical students regarding the social agency needs of patients, the assessment of psychological disorders or family conflict.

QUALITY AND PATIENT SAFETY

Overview By continually evaluating current quality measures and setting new goals, Community Health and Family Medicine is making great strides towards providing the best patient care for the patients in our community. Department wide quality improvement projects, which plan to focus on various chronic conditions, will be initiated at each individual clinic site that will focus on their unique patient population and be overseen by the medical director. The dedication of the faculty and staff at each of our clinics is the driving force behind offering our patients the very best care available, as well as to push ourselves towards becoming the best university health system in the country. PATIENT CENTERED MEDICAL HOME RECOGNITION All clinics in our department received Level 2 recognition as a National Committee for Quality Assurance, or NCQA, Patient Centered Medical Home, or PCMH, certified facility. Reaching PCMH recognition on any level requires a significant undertaking, with much dedication and coordinated teamwork, in order to transform clinic processes and practices from one of the traditional doctor-centered medical practice to one that is truly patient-centered. Patient centered medical home models have been shown to improve patient health outcomes and professional satisfaction amongst physicians. HOSPITAL READMISSION REDUCTION The family medicine service has seen some reduction in their hospital readmission rates. A readmission registry was created to keep track of patients who were discharged from family medicine practices at UF Health. The information from this report was also used to perform analysis using a geographical information system. Using data from the registry, we were able to identify a group of high-risk patients. Initiatives have been molded to improve care coordination of these patients. One initiative to improve commination with the Emergency Department, or ED, uses EPIC to alert the healthcare team when a high-risk patient has arrived at the ED. Other initiatives include scheduling post hospital discharge home visits for high-risk patients. The weekly retrospective readmission root-cause analysis that highlights high-risk patients, by the inpatient team (residents, attending, case manager), began Dec. 1, 2014 as part of the Resident Safety and Quality Rounds. The purpose of this was to dig deeper in generating discussion and understanding of why patients are being readmitted, and if there were any steps that could have been taken in the previous readmission to prevent the current readmission. We also want to find out if there is something that could be done on the current admission to prevent another readmission. The identification of the high-risk patients helped to make sure that the team was aware of past/present issues and develop the best plan of care post discharge. INPATIENT INITIATIVES On the inpatient side, Community Health & Family Medicine continues to work diligently with UF Health to monitor core measures and provide the best care for the patient population. There is strong emphasis on reducing re-admissions, supporting more focused care for heart failure patients, reducing infections, and reducing adverse events. PHYSICIAN QUALITY REPORTING SYSTEM (PQRS) AND MEANINGFUL USE Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services, or CMS, is currently undergoing various changes to the measures and reporting methods for Physician Quality Reporting System, or PQRS, and Meaningful Use. Community Health and Family Medicine successfully reported PQRS data to CMS on the diabetes management measure last year. Our organization also has successfully submitted data and received incentive dollars this past year. By utilizing reminders in EPIC, we continue to meet the meaningful use goals.

QUALITY AND PATIENT SAFETY

QUALITY OF CARE As part of our work as a PCMH certified facility, we track our compliance for quality indicators associated with diabetes mellitus, hypertension and asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. Based on the information below, our physicians are providing high quality of care for patients with these conditions. QUALITY MEASURES TRACKING In order to better assess how our clinics are doing from a qualitative standpoint, we created patient registries for specific chronic conditions, and aggregate the data to compile clinic summaries into a single report. The chronic conditions are asthma/COPD, diabetes and hypertension. The reports evaluate the percentage of patients that are meeting their health goals at each clinic. In addition to monitoring chronic conditions, the department will monitor emergency department utilization rates.

BIOETHICS, LAW AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONALISM

EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES The program in Bioethics, Law and Medical Professionalism, or BLMP, faculty teaches ethics and professionalism to medical students in all four years of the undergraduate medical curriculum to residents, and to fellows in various departments. The BLMP faculty also teach the Interdisciplinary Family Health, or IFH, course. During the 2014-2015 academic year, BLMP faculty taught Ethics and Professionalism for first and second year students in both the fall and spring semesters. In addition to these coursed, BLMP faculty continued to teach ethics during third-year clerkships: Family Medicine Ethics Case Conference, Family Medicine Professionalism Workshop, Pediatrics Ethics Case Conference and Psychiatry Ethics Case Conference. Professor Allen providers research ethics training for graduate students in the College of Medicine Interdisciplinary PhD program, the Advanced Postgraduate Program in Clinical Investigation, the Genetics Institute, and other programs throughout the UF Health Science Center. Professor Solberg created and taught two new courses: one for graduate students, called Law and Ethics of Aging; and one for undergraduate students in the UF Honors Program, called Medical Ethics and Professionalism in The House of God. Faculty: William Allen, JD, M.Div.; Ray Moseley, PhD; Lauren Solberg, JD, MTS; Ly-Le Tran, MD, JD (adjunct). ETHICS COMMITTEE, LEADERSHIP AND CONSULTATION SERVICE BLMP faculty members continued to serve on the UF Health Ethics Committee during the 2014-2015 academic year. Professors Allen, Moseley, and Solberg provided the bulk of the ethics consultation services for UF Health Shands Hospital. Professor Solberg also participated in multidisciplinary rounds on the surgical intensive care unit in an effort to integrate clinical ethics consultations into routine clinical care. Professor Allen led a series of training workshops for UF Health volunteers who are now providing community outreach and education in attempt to improve the number and quality of advance directives completed prior to patients being admitted to the hospital. CTSI ACADEMY OF RESEARCH EXCELLENCE During the 2014-2015 academic year, Dr. Moseley trained another cohort of investigators and research coordinators through the Clinical and Translational Science Institute’s, or CTSI, Academy of Research Excellence, or ARE. The ARE helps develop and recognize exemplary investigators and research coordinators focusing on promoting high quality, innovative clinical research with the highest regard for research integrity, ethics, professionalism and regulatory requirements. The purpose of the ARE is to promote a culture of professional collegiality and openness, including active role modeling and the mentoring of junior faculty, research coordinators and health science students. The ARE represents the continuing commitment of the University of Florida to excellence in health science research.

COMMUNITY HEALTH

Rural Health

ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTURE Although it is located in rural Old Town, UF Health Family Medicine – Old Town continues to see growth in its practice and proves to be a vital role in the Medical Student Education Program. There are five faculty members who participate in the program, all of whom teach and see patients throughout the year: Dr. Grant Harrell, medical director, Robert Hatch, MD, Larry Rooks, MD, Sarah Laibstain, MD, and Richard Rathe, MD. There are two physician assistants at the Old Town practice – Andrew Bray, PA and Gary Rexroat, PA, who continues to provide for a large amount of the patient population with his style and expertise and has been in practice for 43 years. Gary Rexroat, PA was also recently recognized for being one of only 224 certified physician assistants in the United States to be certified for 40 years by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants, or NCCPA. Karen Sando, PharmD, continues to provide patient care through managing our Coumadin Clinic, Smoking Cessation Clinic and Diabetic Education Program. She also supervises the activities of our pharmacy resident, Cynthia Moreau. Medical, PA, MA, Athletic Training and Pharmacy students rotate regularly through the teaching program at Old Town.

OBJECTIVES • To develop and maintain a rural clinical teaching network capable of full implementation of a coordinated

departmental curriculum. • To provide medical students with an opportunity to learn about health care issues specific to an under-

served rural community. • To improve the quality of and access to health care for the rural communities of North Florida. • To offer cost-effective, comprehensive, longitudinal health care to rural communities in Florida. • To offer health maintenance and disease prevention programs by means of community education and as a

component of clinical practice. • To develop the rural teaching sites as referral bases for the Family Medicine Residency and Shands

subspecialty care. • To collaborate with the University of Florida AHEC Program including hosting a student from the Rural

Scholars Program during the summer term.

Equal Access

ABOUT The Equal Access Clinic was established by a group of dedicated medical students in 1988. The clinic opened its doors in 1992 at a local Salvation Army facility and fortunately was later provided with free access to a University of Florida Family Practice Medical Group facility in Gainesville, Florida. David Feller, MD serves as faculty advisor. Today, our organization is one of the largest and most comprehensive student-run free healthcare clinics in the nation. The clinic provides free healthcare and other services to the medically underserved in Alachua County and its surrounding counties. A diverse group of undergraduate and professional students from the University of Florida partake in volunteer activities at the clinic. The majority of student support is derived from the Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Public Health and Health Professionals.

33

COMMUNITY HEALTH

In addition, the administrative staff from the Department of Community Health and Family Medicine at the University of Florida provides much needed and appreciated support for our clinic. University of Florida/UF Health faculty from the departments of family, internal, and emergency medicine provide the supervision to assess and treat patients at each clinic site.

GOALS • Long-term sustainability – Continued focus on our ability to provide services for the long term with specific

interest in establishing a long term funding source. • Physician recruitment – Our goal is to not close clinic this year due to not having a provider. • Reopen our dental clinic – In the past, we ran a dental clinic which filled a huge need for our patient

population. Our goal is to have this clinic up and running again by the first of the year. • Quality improvement and research – Solidify our commitment to improving our clinic through critical

analysis of our process and data driven projects. Specific areas include tracking success of referrals to outside resources, such as WeCare and clinic efficiency.

• Lab resource efficiency – Lab work is currently our largest budget item. Our goal is to evaluate our lab usage and indications to ensure we are utilizing this resource as efficiently as possible, ensuring we maximize this benefit to our patients.

• Pharmacy – We have had huge successes in reducing our pharmacy cost over the past two years by being cost conscious and prescribing generics when possible. Our goal is to assess our practices to ensure the quality of care is maintained.

• Long-term contraception – While we currently hold a Women’s night each month with OB/GYN, our goal is to add long-term contraception to the services offered.

• Spanish services – Our goal is to improve our ability to serve Spanish-speaking patients by having all materials available in Spanish, while educating our volunteers on translation services available.

• Recommended screenings – Our capacity to connect patients with all recommended health screenings, such as colonoscopies, has waxed and waned over the years. Our goal is to ensure that we are maximizing the community resources available to get these for our patients.
