What is Provider Detailing?
Provider Detailing is becoming essential for better STI prevention. Provider detailers are trained staff who visit healthcare practices, either in person or virtually. They offer custom training and support on best practices. In addition, detailers distribute comprehensive packets that contain materials for providers and patients. Although this process can take time and resources, detailing effectively engages health care practices and strengthens relationships with community providers.
Who Can Be a Detailer?
Different staff from local health jurisdictions (LHJ) can be trained to conduct provider detailing. Disease intervention specialists, health educators, public health nurses, and program managers all have the potential to gain subject expertise of specific STI topics and can be trained on how to communicate effectively with providers using detailing materials.
What is in a Provider Detailing Packet?
Packets focus on a specific topic. They have a range of materials about best practices, health promotion tools, and clinical resources. Here are several sample STI detailing packets with CDPH materials, which can be adapted for LHJ use. Finally, consider including you local STI epidemiology summaries or health alerts in your provider detailing packets.
