“Trident” Approach to Integrated
Care Research
#1 Clinical
Interventions
#2 Train/Educate
providers for
caring for “whole
person”
#3 Assist/
Support PCPs
Why do this study?
• Impact of ACA
– Only 40% of US physicians are PCPs
• Of younger PCPs, 30% plan to leave PC within 5 years
• Of older PCPs, 27% plan to retire AND 25% to leave PC within 5
years
• Psychological flexibility related to work-stress
• Focus on integration
– Ranges of integration; what works best?
– Lessons have been learned over the years…

Overview of Study
• Phase 1 (Online survey to medical providers)
– Primary Care Provider Stress Checklist (PCP-SC)
– Primary Care Provider Acceptance and Action
Questionnaire (PCP-AAQ)
– AAQ-II
– Primary Care Provider Satisfaction Form (O’Donahue)
• Phase 2
– 4 BHC’s paired with a total of 7 medical providers
(MD, DO, NP)
Provider Demographics
• 57 providers (50 completed entire survey)
– Majority (N = 37) MDs
– Majority early in their careers

0 – 5 years = 22
6 – 10 = 11
11 – 15 = 10
16+ = 13
Phase 1 Results
• Increases in flexibility, stress levels decrease
• PCP-SC (p < .01; r = -.52) with PCP-AAQ
• Increase in flexibility, stress levels decrease
• PCP-SC (p < .01; r = .60) with AAQ - II
• Providers’ satisfaction with BH increases, their stress
decreases *
• PCP-SC (p < .01; r = -.40) with BH satisfaction survey
• PCP-AAQ accounted for 27% of the variance (p < .000)
•
Control for degree type (i.e., MD, DO, NP), the variance is 30%
Specific BH satisfaction results
• 100% satisfied with BH
– 34 = Strongly Agree (68%); 16 – Somewhat Agree (32%)
• 100% recommend having BH services
– 47 = Strongly Agree (94%); 3 = Somewhat Agree (6%)
• 100% believe referral process easier
– 48 = Strongly Agree (96%); 2 = Somewhat Agree (4%)
• 84% agree patients more compliant
– 17 = Strongly Agree (34%); 25 = Somewhat Agree (50%)
• 100% agree having BH makes job easier
– 45 = Strongly Agree (90%); 5 = Somewhat Agree (10%)
• Write in responses***
Implications
• Supports #3 Trident approach
• Psychological flexibility & stress
– How to improve flexibility?
• Within every day practice?
• Formal training?
• Need psychometrics on measures
• BH satisfaction implications
Phase 2 of study
• Pairing BHC w/ PCPs for one week
– Incorporate some of the BH survey feedback
• Strive to see every patient
• Before, during, after
• Goals:
– Expand scope of BH services
– Decrease stigma of BH
– Increase collaboration and teamwork
– …evaluate new strategy to integrated care
Phase 2 Results
• Saw more patients!!!
– Total of 211 patients (M = 52.75, SD = 5.25)
• 2.61 patients per hour (SD = .51)
• 65% first time visits*

2. New utilization of BH
3. Improve efficiency
Our experiences
Implications
• Evolution of the PCBH model at HealthPoint
– Closed model schedule
– Bothell clinic
•
•
•
•
Nurse schedule model
4 x 4 hour shifts of only warm handoffs/in-clinic patients
One full day a week of scheduled visits, still w/ warm handoff slots built in
Observations: Good and bad
• Training model?
– For PCPs, MAs and BHs
• Hitting the “mark” of level 5 and 6
• Addressing many issues of integration
Limitations
• HealthPoint FREE BHC services
– Easier to do co-visits with multiple providers
– Brief visits (15 minutes or less) are possible
– No concerns about cost (patient refusal low)
• Only 1 or 2 providers per clinic
– Fair?
• Do not have the “people power”
Rationale using “Trident Approach”
• PHASE 1
– Assess aspects of PCP stress (#3, Assist/Support PCPs)
– Program evaluation
• Phase 2
– Fulfill consulting role for increased PCP satisfaction (#3)
– Provide direct clinical interventions (#1, Clinical
Interventions)
• Provide appropriate better/more informed patient care (#1)
• Increased patient satisfaction, wait time (#3)
– Promotion of whole person care (#2, Train/Educate
providers for caring for “whole person”)
• BOTTOM LINE – IMPROVE INTEGRATION to become
STANDARD CARE
