Abstract Introduction The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is a national leader in integrated care, known in the VHA as the Primary Care Mental Health Integration (PCMHI) model. This model is associated with improved quality of services and same-day access for veterans. There has been some recent development of PCMHI/integrated care competencies within VHA and across the nation. To fully implement these competencies, however, PCMHI providers must not only be trained, but their adherence to the PCMHI model must also be assessed. While there have been recent advances, there has been little research that has examined the adherence of PCMHI providers to the model or methods to improve adherence. Materials and Methods The present study sought to examine and improve the clinical practice of a team of eight PCMHI providers to make practice more adherent to the PCMHI model. This study was conducted at a large Midwestern VA Medical Center using interventions based in assessment, feedback, and training—measured at three points in time. The Primary Care Behavioral Health Provider Adherence Questionnaire (PPAQ; Beehler GP, Funderburk JS, Possemato K, et al.: Psychometric assessment of the primary care behavioral health provider adherence questionnaire (PPAQ). Transl Behav Med 2013; 3: 379–91.) was used to assess provider adherence and the PPAQ toolkit was used to provide tailored recommendations for improving provider practice. In addition, the VHA “Foundations Manual” and Functional Tool outlined essential behavioral targets that are consistent with the PCMHI model and the “essential provider behaviors” from the PPAQ. A combination of individual and group interventions was presented and adherence, pre and post, was assessed with the PPAQ and with evaluation of clinical practice data. Results Results indicated that the behavior of PCMHI providers changed over time, with providers exhibiting more PCMHI consistent behaviors and fewer inconsistent behaviors. Adherence to the PCMHI model increased. Conclusion Providing assessment, feedback, and training in the PCMHI model changed the clinical practice of PCMHI providers and resulted in improved adherence. Clinical and research implications are discussed.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: This study seeks to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a brief acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) treatment for chronic pain patients in a primary care clinic METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Primary care patients aged 18 years and older with at least 1 pain condition for 12 weeks or more in duration will be recruited. Patients will be randomized into (a) ACT intervention or (b) control group. Participants in the ACT arm will attend 1 individual visit with an integrated behavioral health provider, followed by 3 weekly ACT classes and a booster class 2 months later. Control group will receive enhanced primary care that includes patient education handouts informed by cognitive behavioral science. Data analysis will include 1-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), multiple regression with bootstrapping. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The overall hypothesis is that brief ACT treatment reduces physical disability, improves functioning, and reduces medication misuse in chronic pain patients when delivered by an integrated behavioral health provider in primary care. In addition, it is anticipated that improvements in patient functioning will be mediated by patient change in pain acceptance and patient engagement in value-consistent behaviors. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: This pilot study will establish preliminary data about the effectiveness of addressing chronic pain in a generalizable integrated primary care setting. Data will help support a larger trial in the future. Findings have potential to transform the way chronic pain is currently managed in primary care settings, with results that could decrease disability and improve functioning among patients suffering from chronic pain.
