Consultation letters for medically unexplained physical symptoms in primary care

Type: Journal Article

Authors: R. Hoedeman, A. H. Blankenstein, C. M. van der Feltz-Cornelis, B. Krol, R. Stewart, J. W. Groothoff

Year: 2010

Publication Place: England

Abstract: BACKGROUND: In primary care between 10% and 35% of all visits concern patients with medically unexplained physical symptoms (MUPS). MUPS are associated with high medical consumption, significant disabilities and psychiatric morbidity. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effectiveness of consultation letters (CLs) to assist primary care physicians or occupational health physicians in the treatment of patients with MUPS and diagnostic subgroups. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the Cochrane Collaboration Depression, Anxiety and Neurosis Group Controlled Trials Registers, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, Issue 2, 2009), MEDLINE (1966-2009), MEDLINE In Process (2009-08-17), EMBASE (1974-2009), PSYCINFO (1980-2009) and CINAHL (1982-2009). We screened the references lists of selected studies and consulted experts in the field to identify any additional, eligible RCTs. SELECTION CRITERIA: RCTs of CLs for patients with MUPS being treated in primary care settings. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two authors independently screened the abstracts of the studies identified through the searches and independently assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. We resolved any disagreement by discussion with a third review author. We assessed heterogeneity and, where a number of studies reported the same outcomes, pooled results in a meta-analysis. MAIN RESULTS: We included six RCTs, with a total of 449 patients. In four studies (267 patients) the CL intervention resulted in reduced medical costs (in two studies the outcomes could be pooled: MD -352.55 US Dollars (95% CI -522.32 to -182.78)) and improved physical functioning (three studies, MD 5.71 (95% CI 4.11 to 7.31)). In two studies (182 patients) the intervention was a joint consultation with a psychiatrist in presence of the physician, and resulted in reduced severity of somatization symptoms, reduced medical consumption and improved social functioning. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: There is limited evidence that a CL is effective in terms of medical costs and improvement of physical functioning for patients with MUPS in primary care. The results are even less pronounced in patients with clinically less severe, but more meaningful, forms of MUPS and the results vary for other patient-related outcomes. All studies, except one, were performed in the United States and therefore the results can not be generalized directly to countries with other healthcare systems. Furthermore all studies were small and of only moderate quality. There is very limited evidence that a joint consultation with the patient by a psychiatrist in the presence of the physician, together with the provision of a CL, reduces severity of somatization symptoms and medical consumption.

Consultative care coordination through the Medical Home for CSHCN: A randomized controlled trial

Type: Journal Article

Authors: J. E. Farmer, M. J. Clark, E. H. Drewel, T. M. Swenson, B. Ge

Year: 2010

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a care coordination intervention aimed at improving the medical home for children with special health care needs (CSHCN). 100 CSHCN referred by a Medicaid managed care plan were randomly assigned to a care coordination intervention or to a wait list comparison group that received standard care. For the intervention group, a care coordinator supported the medical home by consulting with primary care providers at multiple practices to develop an integrated, individualized plan to meet child and family needs. During the second phase of the study, the wait list comparison group received the 6-month intervention. At the end of 12 months, the two groups were combined to examine within subject differences (n = 61). Compared to the control group, participants in the initial intervention group reported a decreased need for information and improved satisfaction with mental health services and specialized therapies. This effect was replicated when the wait list control group received the intervention. Additional benefits were observed in the within subject analysis, including a decline in unmet needs, improved satisfaction with specialty care and care coordination, and improved ratings of child health and family functioning. This intervention improved outcomes for CSHCN and their families by supporting the efforts of primary care physicians to provide comprehensive and coordinated care through the medical home. The consulting care coordinator may provide an efficient and cost effective approach to enhancing the quality of care for CSHCN.

Consumer attitudes about opioid addiction treatment: A focus group study in New York City

Type: Journal Article

Authors: N. L. Sohler, L. Weiss, J. E. Egan, C. M. Lopez, J. Favaro, R. Cordero, C. O. Cunningham

Year: 2013

Publication Place: United States

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To develop effective programs for people who are opioid dependent and to impact the opioid epidemic in New York City, it is crucial to monitor attitudes about opioid addiction treatments among opioid users who have experienced barriers to engagement and retention in addiction treatment. DESIGN: The authors conducted a qualitative study using focus groups. METHODS: Six focus groups in three needle exchanges in New York City were audio recorded, transcribed, and systematically coded. The authors report on the main themes related to the study objectives. PARTICIPANTS: Participants of each needle exchange who were opioid dependent and had some knowledge of both methadone and buprenorphine were eligible. RESULTS: There were four main findings. Participants felt the following: 1) buprenorphine is an appropriate option for those heroin users who are motivated to stop using, 2) they have less control over their addiction treatment with methadone than they would have with buprenorphine, 3) buprenorphine treatment is not accessible to many New York City residents who would benefit from this treatment, and 4) lack of access to buprenorphine treatment is a cause of treatment-related diversion. CONCLUSIONS: Both methadone maintenance and buprenorphine treatment opportunities are necessary to address the diverse treatment needs of opioid-dependent people in New York City. However, the current medical model of buprenorphine treatment may be too restrictive for some opioid-dependent people and may be contributing to the use of illicit buprenorphine. New models to deliver buprenorphine treatment may address these problems.

Consumers' Valuation of Primary Care-Based Treatment Options for Mental and Substance Use Disorders

Type: Journal Article

Authors: A. J. Epstein, C. L. Barry, D. A. Fiellin, S. H. Busch

Year: 2015

Publication Place: United States

Abstract: Most individuals with substance use disorders and with mental disorders do not receive treatment. If treatment options were more attractive, treatment rates might increase. The advantages of novel approaches, including primary care-based treatment and collaborative care in a primary care setting, have been documented. However, less is known about consumers' valuation of these options. The authors assessed monetary valuation of these treatment types compared with usual care in a specialty treatment setting. Contingent valuation methods were used in a Web-based randomized vignette experiment that involved 2,146 individuals who screened positive for a drug or alcohol use disorder or a mental disorder. Participants valued a primary care-based treatment visit over usual care in a specialty treatment setting by $9.00 and a collaborative care visit over usual care in a specialty treatment setting by $5.85.

Contact with primary and mental health care prior to suicide: A systematic review of the literature from 2000 to 2017

Type: Journal Article

Authors: K. Stene-Larsen, A. Reneflot

Year: 2019

Publication Place: Sweden

Abstract: AIM: To examine rates of contact with primary and mental health care prior to suicide in men and women and across a range of age categories. METHOD: The authors performed a systematic review of 44 studies from 2000 to 2017 of which 36 reported rates on contact with primary health care and 14 reported on contact with mental health care prior to suicide. RESULTS: Contact with primary health care was highest in the year prior to suicide with an average contact rate of 80%. At one month, the average rate was 44%. The lifetime contact rate for mental health care was 57%, and 31% in the final 12 months. In general, women and those over 50 years of age had the highest rates of contact with health care prior to suicide. CONCLUSIONS: Contact with primary health care prior to suicide is common even in the final month before death. The findings presented in this study highlight the importance of placing suicide prevention strategies and interventions within the primary health care setting.

Type: Journal Article

Abstract: RATIONALE: Knowing how stress manifests in the lives of people with substance-use disorders could help inform mobile "just in time" treatment. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this paper is to examine discrete episodes of stress, as distinct from the fluctuations in background stress assessed in most EMA studies. METHODS: For up to 16 weeks, outpatients on opioid-agonist treatment carried smartphones on which they initiated an entry whenever they experienced a stressful event (SE) and when randomly prompted (RP) three times daily. Participants reported the severity of stress and craving and the context of the report (location, activities, companions). Decomposition of covariance was used to separate within-person from between-person effects; r effect sizes below are within-person. RESULTS: Participants (158 of 182; 87%) made 1787 stress-event entries. Craving for opioids increased with stress severity (r effect = 0.50). Stress events tended to occur in social company (with acquaintances, 0.63, friends, 0.17, or on the phone, 0.41) rather than with family (spouse, -0.14; child, -0.18), and in places with more overall activity (bars, 0.32; outside, 0.28; walking, 0.28) and more likelihood of unexpected experiences (with strangers, 0.17). Being on the internet was slightly protective (-0.22). Our prior finding that being at the workplace protects against background stress in our participants was partly supported in these stressful-event data. CONCLUSIONS: The contexts of specific stressful events differ from those we have seen in prior studies of ongoing background stress. However, both are associated with drug craving.

Context for understanding the National Demonstration Project and the patient-centered medical home

Type: Journal Article

Authors: K. C. Stange, W. L. Miller, P. A. Nutting, B. F. Crabtree, E. E. Stewart, C. R. Jaen

Year: 2010

Publication Place: United States

Abstract: This article introduces a journal supplement evaluating the country's first national demonstration of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) concept. The PCMH is touted by some as a linchpin for renewing the foundering US health care system and its primary care foundation. The National Demonstration Project (NDP) tested a new model of care and compared facilitated and self-directed implementation approaches in a group-randomized clinical trial. The NDP asked what a national sample of 36 highly motivated family practices could accomplish in moving toward the PCMH ideal during 2 years within the current US health care payment and organizational system. Our independent evaluation used a multimethod approach that integrated qualitative methods to tell the NDP story from multiple perspectives and quantitative methods to assess and compare aspects that could be measured. The 7 scientific reports presented in this supplement explain the process, outcomes, lessons, and implications of the NDP. This introductory article provides context for making sense of the NDP. Important context includes the evolution of the PCMH concept and movement, the roots of the NDP and how it developed, and both what is valuable and what is problematic about family medicine and primary care. Together, the articles in this supplement show how primary care practices and the concept of the PCMH can continue to evolve. The evaluation depicts some of the early effects of this evolution on patients and practices, and shows how the process of practice development can be understood and how lessons from the NDP can inform ongoing and future efforts to transform primary care and health care systems.

Contextualizing medications for opioid use disorder and peer support service provision in the probation system with implementation science

Type: Journal Article

Authors: A. W. Kang, A. Bailey, S. Napoleon, R. Martin

Year: 2024

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) is an evidence-based approach that reduces opioid-related mortality, particularly among criminal legal-involved persons who are at increased risk of adverse outcomes related to OUD. Implementing evidence-based approaches in the context of probation settings requires an in-depth understanding of specific contexts to improve intervention efficacy and effectiveness. Here, we use the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment (EPIS) framework to understand implementation contexts for MOUD provision in the probation setting. METHODS: In-depth individual interviews were conducted with key programmatic stakeholders (treatment providers and probation staff involved in service provision for people on probation). The study examined stakeholder perspectives regarding MOUD and Peer Support Service (PSS) implementation among people who are involved in community supervision. Deductive and inductive thematic analysis was conducted, and subsequently the codes, subcodes, and themes were mapped onto the EPIS framework to better understand implementation contexts. RESULTS: We deduced key inner, outer, and bridging contexts that shape treatment service provision for individuals with OUD who are on probation. Inner contexts include a strong organizational climate that supports MOUD implementation and enthusiasm for peer support services. Outer contexts include difficulty navigating insurance among providers, treatment costs, and systemic stigma towards MOUD. Bridging contexts include a lack of collaboration/communication between relevant agencies (e.g., probation and courts). CONCLUSIONS: Findings indicate the implementation is complex and requires a coordinated effort between correctional systems, probation agencies, and community-based treatment providers.
