  8. Dissemination Results • 9 new clinics in 8 training programs, 434 residents & 200+ faculty trained in 3 states • Added SBI training in new discipline: Physician Assistant training program • Training, systems intervention & strong QI component led to increased SBI rates in clinics • Pioneering work on coding & billing Seale, Johnson et al, Academic Medicine 2015; Le, Johnson et al, JGIM 2015

  9. Project 5: SECSAT for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses • Rationale: as primary care delivery changes to serve more patients, nurse practitioners are in ideal role to do SBI and bill for services provided • Engaged 6 GA advanced practice nursing programs (Mercer, Emory, UNG, Armstrong Atlantic, GCSU, South U.) • Recruited 2 other “top ten” nursing programs—Johns Hopkins, UAB

  10. Dissemination Outcomes • Training in 8 new nursing programs, 587 students, 74 faculty and preceptors trained in initial 2 years (goal: 900) • Creation of online training materials for distance learners • Very high level of interest, engagement and ownership of this important preventive practice • Major efforts toward establishing national SBIRT training standards

  11. Newest Wave of SBIRT Trainees (63 new US grants) • Augusta University • Medical students, nurse practitioners, residents in Family Medicine and psychiatry, & psychology students • Morehouse School of Medicine • Training students in medicine, nursing and social work

GA Workforce—Poised for SBIRT Dissemination • 13 years of training projects • >2,600 students/residents & 118 faculty in medicine, nursing and PA programs across Georgia & nearby states • Follow-up interviews indicate these trainees use SBI after graduation • Opportunities to accelerate use of this important preventive service by “turning on” and funding SBIRT codes
