Behavioral Health Interdisciplinary Program - Collaborative Chronic Care Model (BHIP-CCM) Enhancement Project 2.0

Plain-language summary
This quality improvement project aims to help outpatient mental health teams, known as Behavioral Health Interdisciplinary Program (BHIP) teams, adopt more collaborative care practices (consistent with the collaborative chronic care model or CCM). The investigators therefore aim to use two different implementation strategies -- centralized technical assistance and implementation facilitation -- to align BHIP teams' care practices more closely with the principles of the CCM.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Note that treatment assignment will be at the facility level, and given the stepped wedge design, sites in Waves 2-4 will cross over from Centralized Technical Assistance to Implementation Facilitation.
* At the provider level (for completing the TDM), the primary inclusion criterion is clinicians working on BHIP Teams at the participating medical centers.
* At the patient level (for mental health hospitalizations, costs, and all-cause mortality), the primary inclusion criterion is Veterans treated by the BHIP teams at the participating medical centers.
* Note that, for mental health hospitalizations, separate sites have been identified as comparators using a balancing algorithm.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with a diagnosis of dementia in the electronic medical record.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring

Role Clarity and Team Primacy subdomains of the Team Development Measure (TDM)
Timeframe: Primary comparison will be between pre-implementation facilitation and post-implementation facilitation (8 months after the pre-implementation administration).
