Brief Summary:

This project will develop and test quality measures for and a facilitation model to help addictions treatment clinics increase use of medicines for opioid use disorders, retain clients longer in care, and help more people move into successful recovery. At the end of the project, we will have developed specific training and coaching protocols as well as electronic clinical support tools to guide quality improvement that can be disseminated within New York and the rest of the country.

The study will test a clinic-level intervention that uses external facilitators to provide guidance to addictions clinics and contain three key components: 1) training on data driven management; 2) training and guidance on patient-centered care and OUD medication; and 3) electronic tools for shared decision making and patient progress monitoring.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Opioid-use Disorder Substance Use Disorders Behavioral: Metrics-driven quality improvement (MDQI) Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

There will be 4 sources of data examined in this study: 3 at the patient level and 1 at the staff level. The sources of patient data include: 1) State administrative data from all clients receiving treatment at the enrolled clinics (~7,950); 2) a subsample (1,200) who will be recruited directly from the clinics to complete patient-reported outcome assessments, and 3) treatment progress data for clients will also be collected.

For our administrative source of data, a final study population of approximately 7,950 individuals who are receiving treatment in the 30 enrolled outpatient treatment clinics for OUD is anticipated. Clinics will be located in the New York City metropolitan region (including Nassau, Westchester, and Rockland counties) and the Capital Region (including Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Montgomery, Schenectady, and Schoharie counties). Staff at each enrolled clinic will also be interviewed and surveyed.

Arm Intervention/treatment
No Intervention: Control
Experimental: Metrics-driven quality improvement (MDQI) intervention Behavioral: Metrics-driven quality improvement (MDQI)
The intervention broadly consists of training and coaching to clinic staff and leadership on 1) clinical quality measure monitoring; 2) clinical practice process change management; and 3) use of tools for shared decision making and patient treatment progress monitoring.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in clinic-level rates of initiation to OUD medications [ Time Frame: Assessed from commencement of the trial in Year 1 of the study to the conclusion of the trial in Year 4 of the study. ]
  2. Change in clinic-level rates of adherence to OUD medications [ Time Frame: Assessed from commencement of the trial in Year 1 of the study to the conclusion of the trial in Year 4 of the study. ]
  3. Retention in Care [ Time Frame: Assessed from commencement of the trial in Year 1 of the study to the conclusion of the trial in Year 4 of the study. ]
    Clinic rates of 6-month client retention in care

  4. Change in Incidence of Overdoses [ Time Frame: Assessed from commencement of the trial in Year 1 of the study to the conclusion of the trial in Year 4 of the study. ]
  5. Change in Incidence of Substance Use-Related Hepatitis C Infection [ Time Frame: Assessed from commencement of the trial in Year 1 of the study to the conclusion of the trial in Year 4 of the study. ]
  6. Change in Number of Emergency Room Visits [ Time Frame: Assessed from commencement of the trial in Year 1 of the study to the conclusion of the trial in Year 4 of the study. ]
  7. Change in Health Status [ Time Frame: Assessed from the start of each clinic in the intervention to 1 year post-intervention ]
    Change in health status is measured by the first item of the SF-12 Health Survey: "In general, would you say your health is: 1 - excellent, 2 - very good, 3 - good, 4 - fair, 5 - poor". Scores range from 1-5, with a higher score indicating worse health.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Cost of treatment [ Time Frame: Assessed from commencement of the intervention at each clinic to 1 year post-intervention ]
    Cost of the intervention to the clinic

  2. Change in clinic-level rates of clients with Severe OUD [ Time Frame: Assessed from commencement of the intervention at each clinic to 1 year post-intervention ]
    As indicated by daily use and/or injection drug use as indicated in state administrative admission data

  3. Change in clinic level-rates of clients identified as homeless [ Time Frame: Assessed from commencement of the intervention at each clinic to 1 year post-intervention ]
    As indicated in state administrative admission data

  4. Change in clinic-rates of clients with co-existing psychiatric disorder as indicated in state administrative admission data [ Time Frame: Assessed from commencement of the intervention at each clinic to 1 year post-intervention ]
