Many medical institutions are initiating quality improvement and disease prevention programs. In this paper, we report the results of a program designed to increase the rate of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) in a postmenopausal population. After initially assessing the rate of HRT use, we instituted an educational program directed at both physicians and patients. Reassessment two years later indicated the rate of HRT had increased from 31% to 48.4%. Further educational efforts were followed by a reassessment three years later that showed a further improvement in prescription rate to 64%. We conclude that our educational program directed at physicians and patients dramatically increased the rate of HRT prescription of postmenopausal women.
许多医疗机构正在启动质量改进和疾病预防项目。在本文中,我们报告了一项旨在提高绝经后人群激素替代疗法(HRT)使用率的项目结果。在初步评估HRT的使用比例后,我们针对医生和患者开展了一项教育项目。两年后的重新评估表明,HRT的使用率从31%提高到了48.4%。在进一步开展教育工作之后,三年后的重新评估显示处方率进一步提高到了64%。我们得出结论,我们针对医生和患者的教育项目显著提高了绝经后女性的HRT处方率。
