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.

Detailed description

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. The two primary outcomes of this project are: 1. BHIP team collaboration, as evidenced by improved scores in the Role Clarity and Team Primacy dimensions of the Team Development Measure (TDM) 2. BHIP team clinical effectiveness, as evidenced by reduction in mental health hospitalizations among Veterans treated by the BHIP teams that have received the two types of implementation strategies described above.
