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

United States81,424 participantsStarted 2023-07-14

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.

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.
