Co-created improvement goals and strategies for implementing SBIRT and MAUD聽in primary care settings in a facilitator-supported, tailored implementation study.
This study鈥檚 goal was to create improvement goals and and strategies for implementing screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) and medication-assisted treatment for alcohol use disorder (MAUD) in primary care settings in a facilitator-supported, tailored implementation study. The authors used practice facilitation to support the implementation of SBIRT and MAUD in 48 clinical practices across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. They used clinic contact logs, individual interviews, group periodic reflections with practice facilitators, and exit interviews with clinic staff to inform qualitative analysis. Clinics identified goals spanning SBIRT, MAUD, reporting, targeted patient outreach, and quality improvement capacity. Goals addressed both the technical (e.g., data tracking) and social (e.g. staff training) aspects of SBIRT and MAUD. A decision tree was also created that summarized emergent findings into a tool to support future implementation of SBIRT in primary care settings.

Implementation of an EHR-integrated web-based depression assessment in primary care: PORTAL-Depression.
This study鈥檚 objective was to integrate a computerized adaptive test for depression into the electronic health record (EHR) and establish systems for administering assessments in-clinic and via a patient portal to improve depression care. This health information technology (IT) quality improvement (QI) project was called Patient Outcomes Reporting for Timely Assessment of Life with Depression (PORTAL-Depression). It was conducted in a hospital-based primary care clinic that serves a medically underserved metropolitan community over a 30-month period. Five major health IT innovations were integrated into the EHR by a multi-disciplinary team: (1) use of a computerized adaptive test for depression assessment, (2) 2-way secure communication between cloud-based software and the EHR, (3) improved accessibility of depression assessment results, (4) enhanced awareness and documentation of positive depression results, and (5) sending assessments via the portal. The participating attending and resident physicians were trained in depression assessment workflows through presentations at clinic meetings, self-guided online materials, and individual support. Key implementation strategies were to develop stakeholder relationships, using an evaluative and iterative process, and have ongoing training.

Expanding access to medications for opioid use disorder through locally-initiated implementation.
The purpose of this study was to identify and describe locally- and internally-developed approaches to improve patient access to medication treatment for opioid use disorder (MOUD). The researchers utilized the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to guide qualitative interviews and ethnographic observations to examine the planning, design, and implementation of a locally-initiated process to expand access to MOUD. The study found that a self-appointed local team successfully developed and implemented a Primary Care-based Buprenorphine Clinic and E-Consult Service to expand access to MOUD to patients across the health care system, including national and local policy changes, identifying appropriate and widely supported models of care delivery and consultation, and increasing staff investment in the efforts by including them in collaborative planning and problem-solving. The study concluded that a local team can plan, develop and build new processes of care that are customized to meet local needs and contribute to long-term sustainability in the community.

Increasing capacity for treatment of opioid use disorder in rural primary care practices.
Evidence supports treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) with buprenorphine in primary care practices (PCPs). Barriers that slow implementation of this treatment include inadequately trained staff. This study aimed to increase the number of rural PCPs providing OUD treatment with buprenorphine. This evaluation described the impact of a practice team training on the implementation and delivery of OUD treatment with buprenorphine in PCPs of rural Colorado.

The STUN (STop UNhealthy) Alcohol Use Now trial: study protocol for an adaptive randomized trial on dissemination and implementation of screening and management of unhealthy alcohol use in primary care.
This paper describes a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the effect of primary care practice facilitation and telehealth services on evidence-based screening, counseling, and pharmacotherapy for unhealthy alcohol use in primary care practices in North Carolina with 10 or fewer providers. The study will produce important evidence about the effect of practice facilitation on uptake of evidence-based screening, counseling, and pharmacotherapy for unhealthy alcohol use when delivered on a large scale to small and medium-sized practices. The results of this rigorously conducted evaluation are expected to have a positive impact by accelerating the dissemination and implementation of evidence related to unhealthy alcohol use into primary care practices.

Prescribing technology to increase uptake of depression treatment in primary care: a pre-implementation focus group study of SOVA (Supporting Our Valued Adolescents).
Supporting Our Valued Adolescents (SOVA) is a web-based technology intervention designed to increase depression and anxiety treatment uptake by adolescents in the context of an anonymous peer community with an accompanying website for parents. With a goal of informing the design of a hybrid effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial, we conducted a pre-implementation study in two primary care practices to guide implementation strategy development. We conducted focus groups with primary care providers (PCPs) at three different timepoints with PCPs (14 total) from two community practices.

Defining treatment-resistant depression.
The authors conducted a review for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and 大象视频to clarify how experts and investigators have defined treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and to review systematically how well this definition comports with TRD definitions in clinical trials through July 5, 2019. They found that no consensus definition existed for TRD. While depressive outcomes and clinical global impressions were commonly measured, functional impairment and quality-of-life tools were rarely used. They recommend stronger approaches to designing and conducting TRD research in order to foster better evidence to translate into clearer guidelines for treating patients with TRD.
