What are some common things that our members want to change about their practice?
We reviewed a sample of “commitment to change” statements that were submitted to us on practice reflection tools after members complete a module.
The table below shows the two most common practice changes made by our members for the “Parkinsonism and Parkinson Disease” module, what enabled those changes, and which module components they used:
| Practice change tip | Enablers | Key Module components |
|---|---|---|
| Initiate trial of levodopa/carbidopa while awaiting consult with neurology | • Have a structured approach to make the diagnosis of Parkinson Disease • Keep resources handy to help with medication dosing | • Box 2: Two-Step Diagnostic Approach in the Primary Care Setting • Box 3: Initial Titration of Levodopa/Carbidopa |
| Manage constipation to improve medication absorption | • Use of a pharmacotherapy table for dosing | • Appendix 3: Pharmacotherapy for Common Non-Motor Symptoms of Parkinson Disease |
