Backgroung/Rationale:

Our clinic conducts regular brief screenings of mood, substance use, and domestic violence concerns among patients. These screenings are usually conducted via one page handout incorporating a couple of questions on each area. We realized that we are missing the scheduled administration of these sheets, along with missing the opportunity to follow-up when needed, as well as realizing that the volume of patients needing screened was far too large for number of staff completing the screenings.

Description of the population sampled:

298 Adult patients, both male and female, Native American

Study Design:

Correlational

Procedures and measures used to collect data:

Pink sheet one page screener was administered to every patient coming into the women's clinic and metabolic care clinic of our clinic for one month. These sheets were then collected by select few and entered into a tracking sheet, as well as cross checked through input into a google form to create correlational information regarding amount of positive screens that were missed in clinic, barriers to getting correct information from patient to electronic record as well as any other gaps in the process.

Analytic Approach:

Descriptive and diagnostic analytics

Key Results:

Best outcome is more medical staff involvement: medical providers recording SBIRTs and nursing asking every patient every visit of our patients and alerting MedFTs, a streamlined process of eliminating Registration to determine to whom and when Pink Sheets should be dispersed and elimination of physical paper. Also with the inclusion of medical providers now documenting what they were already addressing an increase of documented SBIRTs allowing us to show that we are reaching our GPRA measures.
