View Award Abstract

Project ASSERT 2.0 Yale New Haven Health (YNHH) Project ASSERT will provide substance use disorder (SUD) screening, intervention and referral services to patients in the Greater New Haven, Bridgeport and New London areas identified as being at risk for or having moderate or severe SUD, with an emphasis on patients who are either uninsured or covered by Medicaid. In 2016, 240,000 (19%) individuals within this catchment area received emergency or primary care from YNHH. Compared to CT as a whole, this target population is younger (median age 31.5 vs 40.6), poorer (poverty rate 25.0% vs 10.5%) and more diverse (non-white 59.6% vs 32.1%). These three cities are ranked in the top 8 of CT towns with the highest overdose deaths in 2016 and the highest need for increased access to SUD services. Our project goals are (1) Provide education on SBIRT and other evidence-based SUD treatments to providers in the identified catchment areas, (2) Ensure that medical professionals screen for SUD, (3) Expand access to evidence-based SUD treatments and (4) use data to improve care throughout the system. To achieve these goals, YNHH Project ASSERT will train providers and staff at each participating site on SBIRT, an evidence-based approach to identifying and treating individuals with SUD (1,125 providers trained over five years). In addition, we will prepare 20 or more primary care providers to prescribe buprenorphine within their practice setting. We will integrate evidence-based SUD screens within our Epic EHR to facilitate screening of patients in participating primary and emergency care settings (48,410 patients screened in Year 1; 262,933 patients over five years). Patients who screen positive will undergo further screening to assess which substances pose a risk or have contributed to an existing SUD (4,841 patients in Year 1; 26,293 unique patients over five years). This further screening will be done by a Health Promotion Advocate (HPA) located at the participating site. For patients identified as being at risk for or with a SUD, the HPA will conduct a brief intervention, the Brief Negotiation Interview (BNI). Patients with moderate to severe SUD will be navigated to treatment at a specialty treatment center located in the respective catchment area with follow-up at 30 days by the HPA. To further improve access to treatment, Project ASSERT will establish and co-locate two half-day Addiction Recovery Clinics with primary care sites in New London and Bridgeport, similar to the YNHH ARC in New Haven. Travel and prescription vouchers will also be available to patients with a demonstrated need for those supports. All screening results and SUD care plans will be documented in Epic to support a continuum of care for these patients, regardless of what YNHH facility may provide their care.
