A FEASIBILITY STUDY PERFORMING FORMATIVE EVALUATION ON TWO COMPONENTS OF A PILOT STUDY: DEMAND/UTILIZATION AND PRACTICALITY Kayla Johannes BSN Student, Kathryn Fiandt PhD, APRN-NP, FAANP, FAAN, Breanna Hetland PhD, RN, CCRN-KUniversity of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NEOResultsDiscussionBrochureIntroduction Summer Undergraduate Research ProgramMethodsContactKayla Johannes, BSN Student (Poster Presenter) kayla.Johannes@unmc.eduKathryn Fiandt, PhD, APRN-NP, FAANP, FAAN (PI) kfiandt@unmc.eduAIM 1: Demand/Utilization To determine the feasibility area of demand/utilization by using the metrics of the number of eligible patients enrolled, number of patients retained, and number of patients who declined.AIM 2: Practicality The second aim to this study is to look at another area of feasibility: practicality, using interview data from clinicians participating in the study and a review of completeness of data collected to date. Design: Feasibility study.  Procedures:• Interviewing clinicians and patients. • Analyzing pre-existing data. • Brochure production to aid in marketing and recruitment.Feasibility is the process of assessing the practicality of a proposed plan or method. In the terms of research, feasibility is defined as whether the intervention is acceptable to participants and worthy of further study, and for the masses to be applicable for further studies [3]. Feasibility methods can also be used to refine research design, including the actual intervention itself or guiding the implementations of the intervention through uncertainties of the real world [4]. However, rigorous feasibility studies or methods applied to a study are not often conducted. By implementing feasibility as a factor in research design, it helps assure that a study will be relevant and replicable in real clinical settings.Demand/UtilizationThere are 12 total patients in this feasibility study. Patients are primarily female at 66.7%. There were 2 patients, both female, that denied being part of this program but no clinical significance between saying no and gender. There have been 2 completers of the program and 8 in the process of completion. PracticalityCurrently, the practicality of the pilot study that was subject to feasibility review is incomplete.What went well- Improved marketing- Reaching our goal of patients completing the program and having a greater QOLSetbacks - Incomplete data- Process of how people were approached to be part of this program Future interventions - Filling in gaps of data- Clarifying how many people engaged in the program - Making sure clinicians are advocating for the program The goal for the pilot study that was subject to feasibility review was to recruit 20 patients from NOAH clinic and have at least 50% of this group to have a minimum of 2 additional encounters with a PCP over a 6-month period. The initial findings of this ongoing study show that the results of both components of feasibility explored: demand/utilization and practicality were achieved. The other six areas of feasibility are still not investigated, thus warranting further research.Conclusion
