Factors influencing implementation of personalized prevention plans among annual wellness visit patients using the theory of planned behavior : A quantitative study

BACKGROUND: The Affordable Care Act provides Medicare Part B beneficiaries access to cost-free Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs). Patients receive health behavior recommendations from a Personalized Prevention Plan (PPP) during AWV encounters.

AIMS: To identify factors clinical pharmacists can use to influence adoption of PPPs in primary care practices.

METHOD: Utilizing a cross-sectional design, 77 Medicare patients (mean age 74.05 ± 8.04 years) presenting for subsequent AWV completed a theory of planned behavior (TPB) based questionnaire at two primary care practices.

RESULTS: 66.2% reported they were in the process of implementing PPPs and 51.9% reported implementing recommendations in the previous 12 months. TPB constructs accounted for 35.8% (p < .001) of the variation in intention, with subjective norm (SN) (β = 0.359, p = 0.004) as the strongest determinant, followed by attitude (β = 0.195, p = 0.093), and perceived behavioral control (PBC) (β = 0.103, p = 0.384). Intention accounted for 27.1% of the variance for implementing PPPs and was not a significant determinant (β = 0.047, p = 0.917). Addition of past behavior with TPB constructs significantly improved the predictability of the TPB model, accounted for 55% of the variation in intention (p < .001), and demonstrated a significant positive influence (β = 0.636, p < 0.001) on future PPP implementations.

DISCUSSION: This study demonstrates utility of the TPB in predicting implementation of PPPs.

CONCLUSIONS: Clinical pharmacists positioned as providers of AWVs can strengthen intention to adopt PPPs by integrating referents into AWV processes, and evaluating past behavior trends to improve future PPP implementation.
