  Purpose

Small contract VA Community Based Outpatient Clinics present unique challenges to implementation of collaborative care because of their distinct organizational characteristics and lack of on-site psychiatrists. A recent effectiveness study, successfully used telemedicine technologies to adapt the collaborative care model for small rural VA Community Based Outpatient Clinics. The purpose of the proposed study is to implement this telemedicine-based collaborative care model in small Contract VA Community Based Outpatient Clinics and determine its sustainability and cost-effectiveness.

Implementation Group
Behavioral: Evidence-Based Quality Improvement
The implementation intervention is known as Evidence-Based Quality Improvement (EBQI). EBQI is an adaptation of the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles of Continuous Quality Improvement that emphasizes empirical evidence and the involvement of clinical and implementation experts (i.e., researchers). In the EBQI implementation intervention, both researchers (clinical and implementation experts) and local staff participate fully in the quality improvement process, with the researchers facilitating rather than dictating implementation efforts. Using EBQI methods, researchers and local staff adapt evidence-based practices for local resources, needs and preferences while maintaining fidelity to the evidence-base. PDSA cycles are used to continuously revise the adapted evidence-based practice based on feedback during pilot tests.
