Clinical Research Oriented Workshop (CROW) Meeting: Oct 9, 2014

Present:  Marianne Burke, Juvena Hitt, Kairn Kelley, Rodger Kessler, Ben Littenberg, Connie van Eeghen, Jon van Luling

Start Up:  (missed this part!)

1.                  Discussion: Rodger reviewed his planned presentation, titled: “The errors of our ways:

From behavioral co-location carve-out to transformed integration of care”

a.       Focus on the policy question and organize the presentation about that question.

b.      This presentation identifies variation among primary care practices, with many variables

                                                  i.      Acknowledge that BHI is complex and hard to measure – introduce the VIP Profile.

                                                ii.      Describe the VIP domains and their meaning.  It may be best to exclude the “overall VIP profile score” for this presentation.

                                              iii.      Start with one, and explain medians and ranges, possibly a box plot

                                              iv.      Highlight the key findings: wide variation for “shared care plans”

c.       There is also variation among responders: managing directors and behavioral health clinicians

                                                  i.      How many practices?

                                                ii.      The pattern across domains is similar among respondent roles

d.      Practice examples

                                                  i.      Skip the sample of responses

                                                ii.      Focus on the exemplar practices

e.       Example of micro-system transformation (Berlin practice)

f.       Conclusions include:

                                                  i.      Lots of efficacy data about MH interventions

                                                ii.      Little effectiveness data about integration

                                              iii.      Change 1^st bullet: from co-located care to integrated primary care

                                              iv.      Last conclusion is a banner statement; think about how to present

g.      Reconsider title of slide: needs focus, based on the final organization of the presentation

2.                  Next Workshop Meeting(s): Thursdays, 11:30 a.m. – 12:45 p.m., at Given Courtyard South Level 4.   Remember: the first 15 minutes are for checking in with each other.

a.       Oct 16: Connie’s presentation to Bridging the Divide: “Strategies for Managing Opioid Prescriptions”

b.      Oct 23: Kairn – Literature Review Draft for Feedback – or, "Dichotic Listening Test Review: Enhancement of a Manuscript Through Bullet-List(s) and Table(s)"

c.       Oct 30: Marianne’s topic – doctoral fellowship application(s)
