OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to implement a 2-phase approach to rapidly increase the number of annual wellness visits (AWVs) and build a sustainable model at 3 study units (Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and clinics in 2 regions of Mayo Clinic Health System), which collectively serve approximately 80 000 patients who qualify for an AWV annually. METHODS: In the rapid improvement phase, beginning in July 2022, goals at the facilities were reoriented to prioritize AWVs, educate staff on existing AWV resources, and create low-effort workflows so that AWVs could be incorporated into existing patient appointments. Staff at all 3 study units worked independently and iterated quickly. In the second phase, all study units collaborated to design and implement a best-practice solution while they leveraged the engagement and lessons learned from the first phase and invested in additional system elements and change management to codify long-term success. RESULTS: The number of AWVs completed monthly increased in each study unit. In the rapid improvement phase, the number of AWVs increased but then plateaued (or decreased at some study units). In April 2023, the final scheduled outreach automation and visit tools were implemented, and the number of AWVs was sustained or increased, while outreach and scheduling times were decreased. The number of completed AWVs increased from 1148 across all study units in the first 6 months of 2022 to 14 061 during the first 6 months of 2023. CONCLUSIONS: The lessons learned from this project can be applied to other health systems that want to provide more patients with AWVs while improving operational efficiency. The keys are to have a clear vision of a successful outcome, engage all stakeholders, and iterate quickly to find what works best for the organization.

OBJECTIVES: The analysis of organic acids in urine is an important part of the diagnosis of inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs), for which gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry is still predominantly used. METHODS: Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay for urinary organic acids, acylcarnitines and acylglycines was developed and validated. Sample preparation consists only of dilution and the addition of internal standards. Raw data processing is quick and easy using selective scheduled multiple reaction monitoring mode. A robust standardised value calculation as a data transformation together with advanced automatic visualisation tools are applied for easy evaluation of complex data. RESULTS: The developed method covers 146 biomarkers consisting of organic acids (n=99), acylglycines (n=15) and acylcarnitines (n=32) including all clinically important isomeric compounds present. Linearity with r2>0.98 for 118 analytes, inter-day accuracy between 80 and 120 % and imprecision under 15 % for 120 analytes were achieved. Over 2 years, more than 800 urine samples from children tested for IMDs were analysed. The workflow was evaluated on 93 patient samples and ERNDIM External Quality Assurance samples involving a total of 34 different IMDs. CONCLUSIONS: The established LC-MS/MS workflow offers a comprehensive analysis of a wide range of organic acids, acylcarnitines and acylglycines in urine to perform effective, rapid and sensitive semi-automated diagnosis of more than 80 IMDs.
