摘要

Introduction In the past decade, assessment in graduate medical education has focused on 6 competencies that define the attributes of the ideal physician: medical knowledge, patient care (clinical skills), professionalism, interpersonal and communication skills, practice-based learning and improvement (PBLI), and systems-based practice (SBP).1 Developing effective curricula for, and measurements of, PBLI and SBP pose particular challenges for teaching programs.2–4 The PINNACLE (Practice INNovation and CLinical Excellence, National Cardiovascular Data Registry, American College of Cardiology, Washington, DC) Registry was initiated in 2008 as the first prospective, office-based, cardiac quality improvement (QI) registry in the United States.5 Data are collected to assess compliance with the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, and the American Medical Association-Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement performance measures for coronary artery disease, hypertension, heart failure, and nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.6–8 Cardiology fellows at St John Hospital & Medical Center in 2009 became the first trainees nationally to participate in PINNACLE. We hypothesized that this tool would serve as an effective foundation for studying ambulatory care, identifying gaps in care, and planning interventions to advance competence in PBLI and SBP. We present our initial findings.;Results Study Population Fellows recorded 2400 patients through March 2012, which was approximately 0.8% of 3 million visits tallied nationally in the PINNACLE Registry. The fellows' patients were predominately male (56%; 1344 of 2400), older than 65?years old (52%; 1248 of 2400), and non-Hispanic White (75%; 1800 of 2400). Compared with the national data set, cardiology fellows at St John Hospital & Medical Center saw more African Americans (24% [576 of 2400] versus 7% [25?055 of 357?935]) and more patients with hypertension (93% [2232 of 2400] versus 83% [297?085 of 357?935]). The remaining cardiovascular risk factors were all slightly more frequent in the national practices than in the fellows' practice.;Discussion Our results show that PINNACLE offers a foundation of data on which QI projects can be planned and studied. Most of our fellows found participation to be feasible and acceptable. We can evaluate our adherence to performance measures of ambulatory care, recognize gaps, and benchmark against national data sets. Our efforts to date have not resulted in substantial practice-based or systems-based improvements. Lurie et al4 argued that current tools cannot measure individual competencies. Jones et al9 noted that competencies become tangible only when connected to patient care. ten Cate10 proposed entrustable, professional activity as a measure to link competencies to clinical practice. An ambulatory registry, such as PINNACLE, is a structure that also links competencies to clinical practice. To fully test the hypothesis in our program, we must follow through with substantive QI projects that complete the cycle of plan-do-study-act.11,12 Limitations of our study include that it was a single-center study of an ambulatory practice with 12 cardiology fellows, and the findings may not be applicable to other settings.;Conclusion An ambulatory registry can provide a foundation for studying ambulatory care, identifying gaps in care, and planning QI interventions in a cardiology training program. Future studies are needed to assess the effects of this approach on enhancing performance in PBLI and SBP.
