Gap Analysis
A January 2023 report pulled by analysts at the project site revealed 75% of patient messages are not reviewed or addressed in the first three days. The Quality Department identified this problem following an investigation into delayed patient responses, which stemmed from a collection of patient complaints. Currently, no response time policy, procedure, or guideline is in place for clinical staff to understand and adhere to best practices. The practice gap was first identified in May 2022 while working alongside a DNP graduate and medical director. The medical director explained the many challenges providers face, including time, duplication of efforts, and a lack of delegation or support. A root cause analysis was then conducted to identify additional challenges. Appendix A shows a Fishbone diagram for the practice gap. The practice gap was then discussed with the executive sponsor, R.B., and approval was given to begin a quality improvement project and address the issue. The desired state involves implementing an evidence-based intervention, in this case, a response time policy. A response time policy will support timelier patient-provider communication and reduce patient care delays.The response time policy will also promote delegation, collaboration, and interdepartmental support to respond to patient messages within a specified period.The 2023 National Patient Safety Goals published by The Joint Commission focus on improving patient safety in all aspects of healthcare. More specifically, goal number 2 is focused on improving communication among caregivers. With the newly published goals, the project site has a renewed focus on closing this care gap and adhering to evidence-based practice recommendations (The Joint Commission Requirements, 2023). Organizations devoting time to optimizing provider inbox management is proven to lead to information overload and has been found to be a leading contributor to job dissatisfaction and provider burnout (Murphy, Satterly, Giardina et al., 2019).A 2019 qualitative study conducted by Kaiser Permanente across 4 months found that consistently responding to patient messages saves time, as delayed responses inevitably generate more patient calls to the practice (Lieu, et al., 2019). An additional study by North et al. (2018) conducted a cohort study including 600 patients in which a response time policy was implemented. The response-time policy provided staff direction to respond to all patient messages within 24 hours, excluding holidays resulting in timelier responses to patient inquiries. The PIMO project aims to improve patient-provider

Evidence to Support the Need
Reviewing evidence-based interventions for inbox optimization, common themes emerged. Implementing a response-time policy demonstrated improved efficiency among clinical staff, higher patient engagement, increased involvement from non- provider clinical staff, and timelier messaging and results sharing with patients engaged in portal messaging systems. It is imperative that appropriate policies and procedures are developed and then implemented for governing patient online portal use. While patient portals offer healthcare providers numerous opportunities to communicate with their patients, policy improvements are needed, as these changes may ultimately lead to better use and uptake (Steitz et al., 2019). The need for policy improvements is corroborated in the study by Hefner et al. (2019), as the researchers describe how policies need to be either revamped or established that require healthcare providers to undertake adequate training and education. Similarly, the findings of Lieu et al. (2019) also support the need for policy improvements that are used to oversee physician-to-physician training, as there are many different strategies that can be employed to improve how physicians manage their inboxes and respond to patients. Reynolds et al. (2021) found that patient portals must offer virtual patient-provider interactions and contextualized medical advice. This means that policies may also need to be instituted that require healthcare facilities to upgrade the organization’s existing patient portals for the latest innovations. Through these initiatives of response time policy creation and implementation, staff training of the organization’s inbox portal, and training on policy requirements, staff will learn how to better manage this patient portal secure messaging to ensure that patients are being responded to in a timely manner. Similarities are seen with Reynolds’ and Lieu’s findings that identify employee training as a crucial component to support policy implementation. Huang et al.’s (2022) study showed differential patient-provider communication patterns across various care settings and practice roles. Findings from this study indicate opportunities for care teams exist to optimize their inbox messaging system, helping to balance the workload and promote optimal efficiency. Securing and implementing policy changes within healthcare facilities focusing on provider training and integrating the latest patient portal messaging systems significantly improves patient safety, treatment delays, and patient satisfaction. Continued implementation and widespread use of response-time policy and adherence to time management expectations

Team Leader
C.A. will be the team leader for the quality improvement DNP project. Successful project implementation requires participation from a multitude of departments, teams, and leaders. Effective collaboration and detailed communication are crucial to driving successful outcomes. Approaching the problem through different frames and perspectives is also necessary to facilitate high-level communication strategies and to keep the project on track. Exhibiting emotional intelligence, drive, and organization emotionally intelligent, organized, and driven, making C.A. the right leader to drive a quality improvement project of this size.C.A. has an extensive background in nursing and leadership over the past 14 years and currently serves as the Director of Nursing at the project site. Relationship building, technical skill, and change advocacy experience offer opportunities to garner additional project support and allocate necessary resources for project implementation. C.A.’s leadership style is a mix of servant and transformational leadership foundations in which the focus is to develop the team members and push them to reach their utmost potential (Manning & Curtis, 2019). Utilization of the servant leadership style supports team empowerment and offers authority by way of nurturing, and empathic listening to help team members achieve their goals (Reynolds, 2021). Choosing a leader with these leadership styles is crucial to successful project delivery. Leaders who can express more flexibility in their leadership styles are more likely to see improvements and changes with less resistance, as they can communicate the same message in a variety of ways (Reynolds, 2021). Putting these values and styles into practice reinforces intentionality around diversity and inclusion, which can pay dividends before, during, and after project kickoff. C.A. will create a safe space for colleagues and employees to voice their opinions and weigh in on key decisions to successfully deliver on the project.In my personal life, adapting to team needs and modifying communication styles happens frequently. At the senior leadership level, leaders are faced with competing deadlines, priorities, and opinions. Leveraging my two leadership styles, I can pivot and reiterate a point to ensure comprehension across the team. An example of this includes the medical director wanting to make more superficial changes to the patient portal messaging system, rather than conducting a root cause analysis. My leadership approach required me to sit down with my colleague and listen to her perspective and

Planned Intervention
PracticeChangeInterventionImplementing online portal messaging systems has become increasingly popular among healthcare providers. The systems allow patients to communicate with their providers via a secure online platform. However, one potential downside of these systems is that they may lead to delays in treatment such as treatment options, medication adherence, and chronic condition management. Additionally, the increased demands on medical providers to see more patients do not leave enough administrative time to meet patient needs. Patients are experiencing delayed communication, treatment, and decreased quality of care because of absent or delayed patient-provider response times and expectations (Sinsky et al., 2018).This information is corroborated by Lanham’s study (2018) in which 50% of patient- initiated messages were unresolved after three months. Another national example includes a study from Szilagyi, et al. (2022) in which a randomized trial across 53 primary care practices was deployed across 12 months and included patients ranging in age from 18 to 65 years old. This study found that out of more than 196,486 patients, 55.6% received follow- up to their initial communication, whereas the remaining 44.4% had no responses (Szilagyi, et al., 2022). Hence, the researchers found that the use of online portal messaging systems contributed to patient safety concerns such as delays in care (Szilagyi et al., 2022).Intervention#1:Time-basedresponsetimepolicyimplementation. Recommendations and progressions from the literature:In the article by Steitz et al. (2019), the researchers explored the policies and procedures that are in use at My Health at Vanderbilt (MHAV) patient portal use, an academic medical center. Data from MHAV was collected and analyzed, with eight categories made for patient portal activity: Appointment, Health Result, Medication, Immunization, Billing, Messaging, Document Access, and Genetics (Steitz et al., 2019). The operating policies for patient account activity, portal uptake, and function use over time were examined. Overall, the researchers in this study concluded that patient portals provide healthcare providers with many opportunities to communicate and engage with their patients, although an improvement in policies is needed and implementation of response time policies can ultimately promote use and uptake (Steitz et al., 2019).Interventionandoperationallogistics:

ImprovementModel/Framework
The improvement model used in this quality improvement project is derived from an approach from the Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI, 2019) which includes the “Plan, Do, Study, Act” (PDSA) as a model for quality improvement projects. The PDSA cycle is designed to center around problems impacting various stakeholders. The PDSA model has been highly utilized and well documented in healthcare literature and will be an appropriate fit for this quality improvement project. This project is aimed at improving provider inbox management and decreasing patient care delays through the implementation of a response time policy.PDSA cycles will be implemented at the start of the project and then weekly until the project’s conclusion. Following these weekly PDSA cycles will allow the project team to assess real-time responses to new implementations as well as allow the team to adjust intervention strategies and drive towards the final outcome. Results will be compared against pre-implementation data and will be shared with the project team and executive stakeholders to inform future quality-based recommendations and implementations further.

Provider Response Times
Providers will respond to 85% of messages within the 24-business hour response time.Any messages requiring clinical intervention, such as triage, will be tasked to the assigned nurse in the unit. If the regularly assigned nurse is unavailable, a clinical supervisor will be contacted to ensure the patient receives the necessary care required. In the event a medical situation presents and cannot be properly addressed by a non-prover clinical staff member, escalation to the primary care physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant is required.
Provider response time to messages will be within 24-business hours.Messages received on a Friday, weekend, or holiday must reply by the end of the next business day.Data is collected pre- implementation and then weekly until project conclusion.
