A Pilot Evaluation of a Telemedicine Pharmacist–Physician Management Model to Increase Access to Medication for Alcohol and Opioid Use Disorders for Rural Veterans
BACKGROUND: Alcohol and opioid use disorders (AUD, OUD) cause significant morbidity and mortality among Veterans, yet only a minority receive evidence-based treatment. OBJECTIVE: Beginning in February 2022, we piloted a telemedicine pharmacist-physician management model (PPMM) in 6 Veterans Health Administration (VHA) primary care community-based outpatient clinics (CBOCs) across one VHA Health Care System to improve rural Veteran access to medic…
Smoking cessation group attendance in a substance use disorder clinic
Contingency management (CM) has emerged as an intervention that can increase smoking quit rates; however, CM has only been tested for reinforcing abstinence for nicotine. This quality improvement project examined the impact of adding CM for attendance to an existing substance use disorder (SUD) clinic group smoking cessation intervention (GSCI), as well as predictors of attendance. After adjustment for covariates, linear regressions compared grou…
Differences in Perceptions of and Practices Regarding Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorders Among VA Primary Care Providers in Urban and Rural Clinics
BACKGROUND: Effective behavioral and pharmacological treatments are available and recommended for patients with alcohol use disorders (AUD) but rarely received. Barriers to receipt and provision of evidence-based AUD treatments delivered by specialists may be greatest in rural areas. METHODS: A targeted subanalysis of qualitative interview data collected from primary care providers at 5 Veterans Affairs clinics was conducted to identify differenc…
Electronic Medical Record Alert Associated With Reduced Opioid and Benzodiazepine Coprescribing in High-risk Veteran Patients
BACKGROUND: Over the past decade, overdoses involving opioids and benzodiazepines have risen at alarming rates, making reductions in coprescribing of these medications a priority, particularly among patients who may be susceptible to adverse events due to high-risk conditions. OBJECTIVES: This quality improvement project evaluated the effectiveness of a medication alert designed to reduce opioid and benzodiazepine coprescribing among Veterans wit…
Latent Tuberculosis Infection Screening Acceptability among Migrant Farmworkers
Latent tuberculosis ( TB ) infection is routinely diagnosed using the tuberculin skin test ( TST ). New methods of detection more specific than TST such as Quanti FERON TB Gold In‐Tube ( QFT ‐ GIT ) have been developed but evidence remains limited on their acceptability among migrant farmworkers. This article examined the acceptability of screening tests among migrant farmworkers working on the Arizona‐Mexico border. We conducted a cross‐sectiona…
Annual Rescreening for Alcohol Misuse
BACKGROUND: Routine alcohol screening is widely recommended, and Medicare now reimburses for annual alcohol screening. Although up to 18% of patients will screen positive for alcohol misuse, the value of annual rescreening for patients who repeatedly screen negative is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the probability of converting to a positive alcohol screen at annual rescreening among VA outpatients who previously screened negative 2-4 times. RE…
Increased Documented Brief Alcohol Interventions With a Performance Measure and Electronic Decision Support
BACKGROUND: Alcohol screening and brief interventions (BIs) are ranked the third highest US prevention priority, but effective methods of implementing BI into routine care have not been described. OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the prevalence of documented BI among Veterans Affairs (VA) outpatients with alcohol misuse before, during, and after implementation of a national performance measure (PM) linked to incentives and dissemination of an ele…
Assessing Couple Therapy as a Treatment for Individual Distress
Using information about patient progress in supervision
It is surprising and even ironic that clinical supervision is frequently conducted in the absence of systematic monitoring of patient progress. The use of a monitoring system that provides feedback to trainees and focuses attention on potential treatment failures is described. Potential advantages of such a practice include continued session attendance, enhanced outcome, and its ability to complement the goals considered essential to clinical sup…
