Multidisciplinary care at Radboudumc an evaluation of the overall health status in Marfan patients Daphne Doze, Verpleegkundig Specialist Radboudumc Nijmegen
Content Organisation Marfan care Radboudumc, Nijmegen, Netherlands Introduction NCSI (Nijmegen Clinical Screening Instrument) Use NCSI congenital cardiology Radboudumc Results in Marfan patients Benefits, Experience, Future
Organisation Marfan care Radboudumc Expert centre for Marfan and related aortic diseases Number of patients: approximately 400 Weekly outpatient clinic Monthly screening/new patient outpatient clinic Two time s a month an outpatient clinic for children Monthly a multidisciplinary meeting concerning Marfan patients Weekly a cardiovascular radiology meeting Transition outpatient clinic
Organisation Marfan care Radboudumc Multidisciplinary Marfan-teams with dedicated specialists Ophthalmologist Cardiologist Clinical geneticist Pediatric cardiologist Nurse practitioner Orthopaedic surgeon Neurologist Cardiothoracic surgeon Vascular surgeon Radiologist Obstetrist combinations depending on the specific situation
Introduction NCSI Integral health-status and self-management Health-status and self-management are key factors in the improvement of long term outcomes (Jovicic, Holroyd-Leduc & Stratus, 2006) An integral and multi-disciplinairy approach of the patient is recommended for adults with congenital heartdisease (Baumgartner, 2010) The Patient is a partner (vision Radboudumc) - know the full context Project: voucherproject 7 patient organisations: How well are you really?
Integral health status and self-management NCSI Provide a summary of health status in 4 domains and 16 subdomains Evidence based Clinical application and possibilities for routine usage of questionnaires combined with test software Experience in usage in other areas (COPD, heart rehabilitation) Domains: 1. Physiological disorder 2. Complaints 3. Limitations in daily life 4. Problems in Quality of Life (QoL) 2, 3 en 4 are hardly related to the physiological disorder
NCSI-method 3 different applications 1. The NCSI- Measurement Instrument (Vercoulen et al., 2008; Peters et al., 2009). Integral health status measurement of details of the burden of the disorder 2. The NCSI- Intervention (Vercoulen, 2012) Identifying adaptation problems Definition of tailor-made care (individual careplan) Motivating patient to change behaviour (follow up on treatment plan)) Executed by nurse / nurse practitioner 3. De NCSI- Monitor Life-long monitoring of the patient in a manageable framework
NCSI / PPK Physiological disorder VO2, Weight Respiration Complaints Fatigure, Pain, Short of breath, Emotions Constraints in daily life at home, walking Problems with Quality of Life (QoL) gloominess, satisfaction,physical, future, social Acceptance denial, suppression, sadness, acceptance
NCSI Review PPC (PatientProfileChart) Graphical presentation: larger impact than verbally Awareness Response is the patient s response and NOT a health professional s opinion Commitment Check professional and patient; recognition of summary information Recognition and breaking defence Patient is a co-therapist and defines personally relevant treatment goals Therefore 1. Increase awareness 2. Increase commitment 3. Breaking psychological defense Motivation
Experienced health-status: NCSI measurement NCSI - Nijmegen Clinical Screening Instrument Health Status - and its 4 domains Transparancy and visibility of the experienced health status Definiton personally relevant treatment goals

NCSI practical usage Assessment integral Health Status Easy to understand the PatientProfileChart Web-based (fill in at home) Effective and easy to use in general practice Short duration (15-20 min) & automated Easy to interpret PatientenProfielKaart Can be executed by a non-psychologist (nurse practitioner) It supports a structured consult
Usage NCSI Congenital Cardiology Radboudumc First NCSI measurement 25-2-2013 (pilot) Usage NCSI: 2015-2016 540 patients filled in NCSI measurement (end of March 2016) 82 patients filled a second measurement 58 Marfan patients filled a NCSI measurement 11 patients filled a second measurement Growth of usage in 2016: growing from 36 lists per month
Outcome First measurements On average worse score for Marfan patients compared to overall population Explanation of scores and colours: 1 = normaal 2 = verhoogd of verlaagd 3 = problemen = normal = at risk to be problematic = problematic
Population NCSI respondents Totaal 248 292 540 "Overig" BAV 41 48 89 Marfan M V Totaal 176 217 393 31 27 58 % M % V 46% 54% 45% 55% 46% 54% 53% 47% % groep 100% 73% 16% 11% M = male V = female Overig = Other, not including BAV and Marfan
Example score NCSI QOL Marfan compared to Overig (other group of congenital patients excluding Marfan) For Quality of Life relatively more Marfan patients score problematic

Future All Marfan patients use NCSI (or NCSI-like) instruments. Because all Marfan patients should receive tailor made care based on integral health status
