Issues in the mental health system • Persons suffering from severe and persistent mental illness • MI associated with at least four EBP’s: IDDT, IMR, SE and ACT • MI as an EBP muted by complex set of core principles associated with these EBPs • MI vs MH EBP fidelity • Individual clinician vs programmatic • Valuation of fidelity anchor points: • MI – yes, as much as discernable • MH EBPs – not at this time
Issues in the mental health system • Wide variations in substance use approaches and philosophy • Multiple co-occurring serious illnesses, especially: • Mental health • Substance use • Chronic & acute medical conditions • Cognitive impairment • Active MH & SU symptoms
Issues in the mental health system • Less overall knowledge regarding substance use issues and the higher vulnerability those with SPMI have to substances in general • History of a strong medical model • Treatment system funded to address acute versus chronic illness (~65% of budget IP care & 24 hour services
MI & mental health wellness & recovery:the good, the bad & the ugly • MI good – client centered, respectful, fits with core wellness and recovery values and philosophy • MI bad – use pay off matrix cons as ammunition to establish substance use as no good • MI ugly – a manipulative technique clinicians use to get the client to carry out the clinician’s goals/treatment plan
Implementation: NIRN • Consideration for the specific evidence based intervention(s) • The implementation process & strategies to put the intervention in place • Effective intervention practices + Effective implementation practices = Good outcomes for consumers No other combination of factors reliably produces desired outcomes of consumers
An effective implementation strategy • Active & qualified Purveyor • Systemic use of Implementation Drivers • Vertical integration to create aligned systems • Attention to Stages of Implementation
1. Active & qualified Purveyor • An individual or group representing a program or practice who actively work to help others implement that practice or program with fidelity & good effect • Accumulates data & experiential knowledge, more effective & efficient over time • Supervisors – can become purveyors over time, but it is difficult to develop & maintain that role
Active & qualified Purveyor • Purveyor interface: • Practitioners • Organization: • Management (leadership, policy, QI) • Administration (HR, structure) • Supervision (nature, content) • System of care • State policies
2. Systemic use of Implementation Drivers • Implementation Drivers are mechanisms that help to develop, improve and sustain practitioners’ ability to implement an intervention or innovation for consumer benefit • They move programs closer to ideal practice
Why focus on practitioner behavior? • The Practitioner is the intervention • Doing the right thing for the right reason at the right time with the right person to maximize progress • Wide ranging inputs (practitioner history & current realities) • Challenge & promise of EBP’s – Be effective consistently
Learning Outcomes of new classroom skills Training Knowledge Skill Use in Components Demonstration Classroom Theory & Discussion 10% 5% 0% … + Demonstration in 30% 20% 0% training … + Practice & feedback 60% 60% 5% in training … + Coaching in 95% 95% 95% the classroom
Learning • Dissemination of information by itself does not lead to successful implementation • Training alone, no matter how well done, does not lead to successful implementation
MI Fidelity • Minimum MI fidelity (MITI) • Accurate empathy • Spirit • MI adherent • Asking permission, affirming, emphasizing personal control, support • MI non-adherent behaviors • Advise, confront, direct • Open ended questions • Complex vs simple reflections
Multidisciplinary team Integrated substance abuse specialist Stage wise interventions Client access to comprehensive services Time unlimited services Assertive outreach MI Substance abuse counseling (CBT) Group DD treatment Fam Psych Ed for COD D & A self help groups Pharmacological interventions Interventions to promote health Secondary interventions for non-responders IDDT Fidelity: SAMHSA
IDDT Fidelity: SAMHSA • SAMHSA measures of fidelity are predominantly programmatic vs individual clinician based • Fidelity will include observation of the practitioner and • Documentation, treatment plans • Supervision and team meetings • Stage of change, MI and CBT approaches
3. Vertical Integration to create aligned systems • Will the practice seriously conflict when interfaced with current agency, county, state and federal system? • If so, can the interface conflict be removed or reduced?
4. Attention to Stages of Implementation • Exploration • Installation 2 – 4 • Initial implementation years • Full implementation • Innovation • Sustainability

Practical considerations • Has your agency: • Understood the key principles of the EBP? • Weighed the pros/cons of a given practice? • Weighed the pros/cons of implementing the practice? • Consider the impact of implementing the practice? • Discussed its plans in detail with a purveyor – before initiating an action plan? • Discussed implementation with all agency stake holders represented? • CEO/President • QI • Supervisors • Staff • Consumers • Family members
Practical considerations • Considered the stage of change of the staff, supervisors and programs in the agency in relation to the practice under consideration? • Where to begin? – better small and with those interested. Is there a clear plan for implementation? • Does the agency understand all of what implementation involves: training, coaching, ongoing supervision, conflicts with the current internal and external system of care and outcome measures? • What outcomes do you expect from implementation of the evidence based intervention? • How will you monitor that outcome?
