Patient-Provider Communication

Shukla et al. 2018 AM J Med Qual; IOM 2001; Cohen et al. (2017) JAGS; Cudmore et al (2017) JAMA-OTO

IOM 2001: Patient-provider care is cornerstone of patient-centeredcare “…care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient

preferences, needs, and value”

Only 23.9% (16/67) of patient-provider communication papersinvolving older adults included any mention of hearing loss Of those 16, only 4 included hearing loss in analyses

Systematic review of inpatient patient-provider communication 13/13 studies that included hearing loss found it associated with

poorer patient-provider communication

Secondary AnalysisConclusion

Reed et al. (2018) JAMA-OTO

Hearing loss is associated with increase healthcare expenditures andresource utilization over a 10-year period.

Hearing Loss is associated with higher odds of dissatisfaction withmedical care.

Patient-Provider communication as a mechanism?

Limitations: Claims data has inherent limitations

Exposure capture (those with means to access healthcare) Hearing loss individuals in non-hearing loss group No indirect costs (hearing aids?) Residual unmeasured confounding (despite matching)

No universal program to identify and intervene on hearing loss inadults in the hospital system

Many calls for adult hearing screening but most have ignored basicprinciples of implementation science

Screening and InterventionBackground

Pronovost, Berenholtz, & Needham et al. (2008) JAMA; Reed et al. (2018) In-Progress

Implementation Science: Translating evidence into sustainable practice

Current state of hearing screenings for adults:

Run by foreign units (audiology) Single person screening all

Generally from outside Purpose is generally for referral for formal hearing care

Indirect implications Use specialized equipment

Training, time Label patient (puts responsibility on patient) Lack training programs Lack of “buy-in”

“Best intervention ever! I normally have a loud voice and some peoplestill can't hear me, but once they put the headphones on, then they canhear. It's nice not loosing your voice :)”

“Such a wonderful program for patients. This has come in handy andpatients truly benefit from this. This has made my job much easier! Thankyou!“
