• W4280491412 abstract "Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background The diagnostic work-up for atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation is often complex and expensive. Improving the organization of this work-up may help to streamline patient journeys and to reduce administrative burden and costs. Additionally, reorganizing the existing work-up provides the opportunity to integrate (translational) research into routine clinical care, hereby contributing to improved patient selection and improved care for future patients. Purpose The aim of this project was to optimize a care pathway for patients considered for AF ablation, with the goals to improve the patient journey and simultaneously integrate research into the clinical process. Methods The Lean Six Sigma approach was used to map the pre-existing process, identify constraints in the process and formulate countermeasures. The impact of this pathway optimization was evaluated using four outcome measures: (1) efficient use of medical resources, defined as the percentage of patients receiving the pre-ablation work-up and eventually undergoing AF ablation, (2) number of hospital visits and consultations with a cardiologist, (3) pathway compliance, defined as the percentage of patients that completed the work-up with a maximum of 2 outpatient hospital visits, a maximum of 1 cardiologist consultation, laboratory results available, and a complete echocardiogram available, and (4) completeness of scientific data, defined as the availability of a predefined set of relevant variables (clinical indicators, medication, laboratory results and echocardiography derived data). Results Five root causes for constraints in the pre-existing work-up were identified and corresponding countermeasures were formulated (Figure 1). The impact of the countermeasures was studied for 33 patients before and 26 patients after pathway optimization. After optimization, efficient use of resources increased from 44% to 95% (p&lt;0.01). The project resulted in fewer hospital visits per patient (3.2 ±1.2 versus 2.3 ±0.8, p=0.01) and fewer cardiologist consultations (1.8 ±0.7 versus 1.0 ±0.3, p&lt;0.01). Pathway compliance increased significantly (3% versus 73%, p&lt;0.01), an increase that was reflected in all separate components of overall pathway compliance (Figure 2, panel A). The percentage of available data for scientific research increased from 80% to 94% (p&lt;0.01), resulting in a complete dataset in 73% of patients after, compared to only 15% of patients prior to the optimization project (p&lt;0.01, Figure 2, panel B). Conclusions This optimization project resulted in a more efficient care pathway for patients considered for AF ablation. The structural integration of research into the care pathway may lay the foundations for further improvements of AF care in the future." @default.
