Annually, an estimated 700,000 patients do not complete their scheduled MRI scans because of claustrophobia or inability to hold still. Training staffs working in MRI facilities to provide Comfort TalkĀ® will enable patients to complete high quality imaging without medication, which will increase satisfaction and comfort while reducing sedation risks for patients, and increase efficiency and reduce loss of revenue for facilities. The effect of such training will be tested at 12 MRI sites in a randomized design. Outcome data will be collected for one year.
Claustrophobia and disruptive patient motion are common impediments to MRI examination, but they may be prevented or ameliorated with a non-pharmacologic behavioral intervention administered by trained staff. The potential benefits of such an intervention are highly significant, considering that the alternatives are to cancel the study or administer sedation. Inability to complete their MRI scans adversely affects an estimated 700,000 patients every year in the US. These patients are either deprived of a diagnosis, subject to diagnostic delays and interpretation errors due to motion artifact, or are exposed to risks of pharmacologic sedation, including death. The imaging facilities typically cannot fill the suddenly vacated examination slots in time before the next scheduled patient and incur considerable lost revenue and efficiency. A negative patient experience further jeopardizes Value-Based reimbursement by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) towards which patient satisfaction counts 30%. The long term goal is to provide a validated, clinically feasible means for non-pharmacologic amelioration of claustrophobia and disruptive patient motion, achieved by training facility staff in Comfort TalkĀ®.
Comfort TalkĀ® training consists of a proprietary, standardized R3 Process of Rapport, Relaxation, and Reframing including 2 x 8-hrs class-room interaction, onsite coaching, and institution-specific web-based support to help the MRI team to further develop its own language style and skill set.
The effect of Comfort TalkĀ® training will be quantified in a prospective randomized design at 12 MRI satellites of the Ohio State University Medical Center and Duke University Medical Center. Return of investment of training will be based on a decision-analysis model with focus on number of scans performed, cancellations from no-shows and refusals; patients unable to start or complete a scan; and sedation rates in relation to capacity, cost, and reimbursement schedule. Patient satisfaction scores will be compared using Press Ganey national benchmark percentile rankings and CMS quality standards.

Different participants were assessed at baseline and at each period after training.
Clinical sites, not participants, were enrolled in the study. Note that "participants" refers to all patients scheduled to be examined on the available imaging slots, including patients who showed ("completed") and those who were no-shows ("not completed").
At OSUMC randomization was maintained (3 trained, 3 control sites). At Duke University considerable staff cuts at the onset of the trial resulted in extensive staff rotations making maintenance of randomization impossible. Thus a pre-post training comparison for the 6 sites was done (pre-training baseline = control, post-training = training arm)

At Duke, the data in the initial baseline period became the control data in a pre to post comparison for reasons explained above. Therefore Duke has only 2 time periods with the initial "Baseline" entered as "Control." |

We obtained cumulative data on equipment utilization represented by the number of patients (participants) examined on a given number of imaging slots available at the MRI units in the time period assessed. Thus no individual data on age, gender, ethnicity are available, reducing the population analyzable for these characteristics to zero.

One year starting with the training
Adverse events were monitored during the training days of the MRI teams. Then assessment was non-systematic in that we would have reported adverse events if they had become known or being collected after training. Patients at risk were only those in the post-training period who showed up at the facility including those who completed their scans and also those who did not.
Number of deaths was not specifically monitored.

Because of considerable staff cuts at Duke right personnel rotated among all sites so that randomization based on training could not be maintained. Therefore a pre/post training comparison was done. OSU collected data electronically, Duke by diary.

The original model was to have parallel randomized MRI sites. This was possible at one participating institution, The Ohio State Universty Medical Center (OSU). For the second institution (Duke University) staff cuts resulted in personnel cross-over between test and control sites making randomization impossible. Therefore a sequential model was used compared data from the pre- to post training period for the Duke sites. In total 12 MRI entities contributed, six at OSU, and six at Duke. Also, Duke and OSU turned out to have different modes of data collection. OSU had fully automated capture of patients scheduled, showing, and completing their examination as well as a priori numbers of available imaging slots per time unit. Duke did not collect these data electronically so that personnel could only gather the pertinent measures by daily manual diary entry. Thus the mode of result presentation is not concordant in some aspects among sites.
