| Abstract |
Purposes/Aims: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is frequently misdiagnosed, and if; diagnosed, it can often be poorly managed. Correct diagnosis and treatment for PCOS patients is; essential because PCOS can contribute to many comorbidities, such as type II diabetes.; Rationale/Background: Presently, there are many gaps in the treatment, diagnosis, and; provider/patient education of PCOS. In the United States, there are an estimated 75% of women; with PCOS that have not been diagnosed in a clinical setting. PCOS also has a variety of related; aspects, including comorbidities, such as type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The; Rotterdam Criteria, a diagnostic tool for PCOS, is a guideline for clinical practitioners. The; criteria requires that a patient present with two out of three clinical symptoms for diagnosis.; Methods: A literature review was performed to find the most up-to-date and evidence-based; materials on PCOS diagnosis and treatment for patients. Instructional materials were developed; for healthcare providers within a Western state women's clinic. The quality improvement project; will incorporate pre-surveys, educational sessions for providers, and post-surveys to measure the; effectiveness of this quality improvement project.; Results: This project aims to improve provider knowledge and increase patient diagnosis and; treatment utilizing the Rotterdam Criteria. Survey Data is expected to show an increase in; provider knowledge and usage of Rotterdam Criteria to promote better patient outcomes.; Conclusions: Utilization of the Rotterdam Criteria can aid in providing correct diagnosis and; timely treatment of PCOS. The use of evidence-based guidelines can have a positive impact on; patient care. |
