are we trying to achieve? How to achieve it? WHAT IS BEHAVIOR CHANGE DESIGN? System Outcomes & Target Population Behavioral Outcomes for Individuals Performance Objectives for Individuals Behavioral Determinants Design of Product, Messages, Materials, Activities Implementation & Adoption Intervention Functions & Behavior Change Techniques
Improving the US Health Care System Better care Patient satisfaction Clinician satisfaction and minimal burden Better value Reduced need for high-cost care (ER, Inpatient) through management and prevention Correct level of care delivered when care is needed (ER vs Urgent Care vs PCP) Reduced need for medications Better health Reduced mortality Chronic conditions under control, or where possible, in remission Improved quality of life for patients STEP 1: SYSTEM OUTCOMES & TARGET POPULATION
Available evidence about interventions & outcomes Feasibility of interventions – technology, cost, logistics, burden Overlap in conditions and behavioral objectives STEP 1: SYSTEM OUTCOMES & TARGET POPULATION Who can help us achieve those outcomes? ImagineCare chose to focus on people with health conditions that offered the greatest potential impact on the system outcomes, based on:
changes Physical activity Stress & psych health STEP 1: SYSTEM OUTCOMES & TARGET POPULATION Target population & behavior categories ImagineCare’s pilot conditions and related modifiable behaviors
changes Physical activity Stress & psych health STEP 1: SYSTEM OUTCOMES & TARGET POPULATION For sake of example… We’ll use hypertension self monitoring to show how the behavior change design process plays out
impact on system outcomes? What’s the behavior? How often should it occur? Are there any exception cases or special circumstances? Why does the behavior impact outcomes? RESEARCH QUESTIONS • Help doctor and patient determine whether treatments are working • Identify hypertensive crisis in the moment so patient can seek emergency care • Increase patient awareness and engagement with care – halo effect can improve other behaviors WHY? Patients with uncontrolled blood pressure should measure their blood pressure once per day against a goal recommended by their physician, and take appropriate action based on readings. BEHAVIORAL OUTCOME
as part of the behavior? What do they need to do differently to achieve desired change? How should the behavior typically play out, start to finish? Any required resources? Does anyone else need to be involved? Where should it occur? What barriers may exist? How can barriers be addressed? RESEARCH QUESTIONS PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES FOR MONITOR BP DAILY • Recognize importance of monitoring BP • Set goal for behavior and outcome • Obtain BP cuff & learn to use • Measure BP daily • Compare reading to goal & take appropriate action • If not measuring daily – identify barriers, problem-solve, adjust as needed

are best suited to perform these functions, to influence the behavioral determinants and performance objectives? We choose techniques and strategies from a large toolkit of theories and frameworks Self Determination Theory – a theory of motivation concerned with supporting our natural or intrinsic tendencies to behave in effective and healthy ways. Conditions supporting the individual’s experience of autonomy, competence and relatedness are argued to foster the most volitional and high quality forms of motivation and engagement. Social Cognitive Theory – describes a dynamic, ongoing process in which personal factors, environmental factors, and human behavior exert influence upon each other. According to SCT, self-efficacy, goals, and outcome expectancies are the three main factors that affect the likelihood that a person will change a health behavior. Behavioral Economics & Game Mechanics – human decisions are strongly influenced by context, including the way in which choices are presented to us.
