• Identified barriers to identification and referral.
• Statewide survey of professionals who serve young children.
• Focus groups of professionals in varied communities.
![Page 25: Beyond the Prescription Pad: Physician Involvement in Early Intervention 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Corinne W. Garland](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649f445503460f94c651d6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
PCP Survey Results
Survey mailed to M.D. Offices statewide using HAAP and HAFP lists 129 pediatricians, 71 family
practitioners
Return rate 77%!!!

Barriers to Identification Physician developmental screening practices
(most common) All groups surveyed do not understand EI
eligibility Hospital nurses, MSW, foster parents, and
child care providers do not know how to identify eligible infants and toddlers
Discomfort by all professionals in speaking to the family about child developmental delay
![Page 27: Beyond the Prescription Pad: Physician Involvement in Early Intervention 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Corinne W. Garland](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649f445503460f94c651d6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Barriers to Referral “Wait and see” practice of some doctors when
delay is suspected (most common) Doctors do not know services are free to
family Some doctors do not believe EI is valuable Referring professionals sometimes perceive
information & referral (H-KISS) staff as unfriendly, unhelpful
Information and referral (H-KISS) hours are not best for many doctors
Information about EI is “hidden” from public
![Page 28: Beyond the Prescription Pad: Physician Involvement in Early Intervention 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Corinne W. Garland](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649f445503460f94c651d6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Phase 2: Intervention & Evaluation Purpose of intervention: to increase
identification of young children with developmental delays or special needs by PCPs, and their referral to EI
Purpose of evaluation: to measure effectiveness of intervention
![Page 29: Beyond the Prescription Pad: Physician Involvement in Early Intervention 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Corinne W. Garland](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649f445503460f94c651d6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Promising General Strategies Knowledge
Print, video, face-to-face Attitudes and beliefs
Voices of parents, other doctors, research Practice
Developmental screening Taking parental concerns seriously Making referrals directly Do not “wait-and-see”

Initial strategy
Large group presentations. 3 presentations x 1 hour each. Address knowledge, attitudes and skills. Designed to attract. Respect PCP preferences/expectations. CME. Intensive recruitment.
– Result: not good.•Only 1 or 2 MD’s showed up.
![Page 34: Beyond the Prescription Pad: Physician Involvement in Early Intervention 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Corinne W. Garland](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649f445503460f94c651d6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Complementary strategy
Mailed postcards Respects PCP time & attention constraints Inexpensive way to reach PCP’s Could incorporate messages to address
knowledge and attitudinal barriers
![Page 35: Beyond the Prescription Pad: Physician Involvement in Early Intervention 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Corinne W. Garland](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649f445503460f94c651d6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Postcards
One card/month x 7 months
Different topic on each
• Result: not good–MD’s did not remember what was on the postcards
![Page 36: Beyond the Prescription Pad: Physician Involvement in Early Intervention 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Corinne W. Garland](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649f445503460f94c651d6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Revised Strategy Selected (1)
Enhanced communications to PCPs by EI programs, about PCP’s patients Evidence from multiple sources of poor
feedback of EI programs to doctors Natural opportunity to address knowledge,
attitudes and work in EI
![Page 37: Beyond the Prescription Pad: Physician Involvement in Early Intervention 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Corinne W. Garland](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649f445503460f94c651d6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Enhanced Communications by EI “Thank you for your
referral” Referral status Screening/assessment
reports Invitation to attend or
provide input for IFSP Copy of IFSP Discharge notice
![Page 38: Beyond the Prescription Pad: Physician Involvement in Early Intervention 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Corinne W. Garland](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649f445503460f94c651d6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Evaluation of enhanced communications by: EI staff: referral status and discharge
notices PCPs:
thank you cards, IFSP invitations Remembered but not in detail, valuable,
could be streamlined
![Page 39: Beyond the Prescription Pad: Physician Involvement in Early Intervention 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Corinne W. Garland](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649f445503460f94c651d6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Revised Strategy (2)
Individual presentations at MD practice 2 presentations, 1
hour each Flexible schedule Designed to attract Intensive
recruitment

Results: Surveys Survey was designed to measured attitudes,
knowledge, and practice about the EI system. Survey in the intervention group showed a
significant improvement in all three areas from pre- to post.
Survey in the comparison group did not show any improvement on the three areas from pre- to post.
Survey by itself had no effect in increasing 3 areas: post–only comparison group had similar scores to comparison group.

Results: Referrals (2)
Effects on physicians (PCP’s). Intervention PCP’s made significantly more
referrals after outreach than before, and very significantly more than comparison PCP’s.
No significant change in referrals among comparison PCP’s from pre to post, which means surveys alone did not raise awareness.

Results: EI Programs
Effects on EI programs Communications to PCP’s were bolstered

Conclusions
Base strategies on evidence such as needs assessments
Continually evaluate implementation & effectiveness of strategies
Providing information and persuasive messages can change physician practice
Inexpensive changes to EI program practices can provide feedback and information to PCPs
These practice changes can increase the number of babies with special needs identified by PCPs and referred to early intervention programs
![Page 47: Beyond the Prescription Pad: Physician Involvement in Early Intervention 2005 OSEP National Early Childhood Conference February 8, 2005 Corinne W. Garland](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649f445503460f94c651d6/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Conclusions (Continued)
Is it sustainable?• Enhanced communications
were generally accepted and implemented by programs. Most are still using these, even though we’ve finished study implementation.
• Hawai‘i’s DOH is encouraging EI program staff to do short, less informal presentations to PCP’s.
