Initial Study Aims• Aim 1: Assess and Evaluate SSA role in the
transfer of CM intervention into “real-world” clinical practice w/in 3 Opioid Tx programs
• AIM 2: Evaluate the utility of the state developed Practice Adoption Protocol (PAP)
• AIM 3: Explore approaches to monitoring the adoption of EBPs
• H1-H6: The application of Backer’s 6 strategies to the adoption process will enhance the likelihood that the EBP will be adopted
NIDA Study on Implementation of CM within 3 Opioid Treatment Programs (2005-2007)

Definition• Contingency Management, also known as Motivational
Incentives, is a behavioral modification intervention:– Targets client behaviors, such as abstinence; attendance in
treatment– Requires frequent monitoring to verify client targeted behavior– Provides tangible reinforcers immediately whenever client
demonstrates targeted behavior– Provides escalation of client’s ability to ‘earn’ reinforcers– Withhold reinforcer or reset if targeted behavior does not
occur

6 Key Strategies• Interpersonal Contact
• Planning and Conceptual Foresight
• Outside Consultation on the Change Process
• User-Oriented Transformation of Information
• Individual & Organizational Championship
• Potential User Involvement
![Page 6: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
First Round Findings• Two of the three opioid tx programs implemented CM,
but the state’s role was labor intensive, no sustainability: Tx as usual approach needed
• Backer’s strategies, particularly use of outside consultant w/in a learning collaborative, were effective
• PAP necessary, but not sufficient for state’s ongoing management-each program had a readiness phase that was not integrated into original PAP
• Absence of program Executive staff & implementation team (infrastructure) inhibited sustainability
• Organizational capacity & use of data to track progress critical
![Page 7: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Second Round: STAR-SI OP Providers (2008-9)
Characteristics:
All had developed mastery of NIATx process improvement
Internal capacity & infrastructure to support rapid cycle change projects
Core implementation teams (ES,CL,DC,CM interventionist)
Proficient with data collection & interpretation
Ready to move from focus on access to retention
Tx as usual approach-no IRB
Reinforcement of attendance in Tx, not abstinence

Beginning
• 2005: FACTS Director attends ASAP Conference on Niatx. National Project and statewide Conference Call introduced.
• Staff participates in call and instructions for a Walk-Thru were discussed.
• Staff members walk through treatment process. Goal: see agency from the customer perspective.
![Page 14: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Findings:
• Appointment scheduling was confusing
• Poor communication between staff and clients resulting in double bookings
• Clients wait time between calling agency and first appointment needed reduction.
![Page 15: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Goal: Reduce to 10% cancelled or broken intake
• Scheduling Process Changed:
• Scheduling Process now requires daily updates to avoid confusion.
• Initial sessions prioritized if double booking takes place.
![Page 16: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Challenges which impacted continuation:
• Data collection confusing
• Time constraints
• Staff Resistance
![Page 17: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Beginning of cultural change
• Staff introduced (through NIATX support) to concept of evidence-based programs
• Staff begins to understand value of knowing what works and what doesn’t
• Staff participates in initiative by monitoring change cycles
• Staff participated in ‘brainstorming’ and ‘fishbone’ activities
![Page 20: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
First Project:
• Goal : Reduce no-shows for initial session
• Project: Staff agreed to call persons scheduled for initial appointment: introduce themselves; ask about their experiences, if they have any questions, concerns re: treatment
![Page 21: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Unanticipated outcome:
ACDE Group Leader felt CM took too much time from group educational time, BUT
Evaluations of the group were much more positive for the educational component than in prior group evaluations.
![Page 29: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Sustainability for Contingency Management:
• Staff time given for preparation, shopping, record keeping
• Other staff encouraged to look at own groups and do contingency management as a ‘pilot’
• Build contingency management into education series and adolescent group on an ongoing basis
![Page 33: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Leadership Challenges
• Find staff time for brainstorming, training, with goal of maintaining staff interest
• Collect relevant data and
• Present data in manner that is significant and meaningful to clinical staff to insure buy-in for EBP
• Involving all staff in different projects to institutionalize the change process
![Page 34: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Culture Change
• Discussing process improvement with other programs increases staff knowledge of other initiatives
• Staff becomes open to changing ‘status quo’• Staff individual professional growth becomes
tied to learning more about EBP
![Page 35: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Why We Became Part of STAR-SI
• Reduce waiting time
• Reduce no shows
• Increase Admissions
• Increase retention in program
![Page 41: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Change Team Meetings• Since December of 2007 the change team met on a
weekly basis to create new changes and review changes already implemented
• In addition the change team had a conference call with Mat Roosa STAR-SI Mentor to review changes made to program and outcomes.
• In June 2009 after becoming familiar with the process and due to an increase in our census we changed our weekly meetings to bi-monthly
![Page 42: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Implementation of Contingency Management
• Aug 2008 - Implementation of Contingency Management to increase attendance and retention of patients
![Page 43: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Target Population• Patients beginning treatment who are eligible for
Phase 1 Outpatient Discussion group
• Eligibility was determined upon intake
• Up to 15 participants
• 12 week study
![Page 44: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
CM Model Used
Contingency Management for group attendance using the name-in-hat-prize based procedure, developed by Dr. Nancy Petry
![Page 45: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The Contingency Management Process
• Each time patient attends group they earn a slip with their name on it which then gets placed in a hat
• Based on the number of patients who attend group the counselor then picks half the amount of slips
• Example: 10 group attendees = 5 name picks from the hat
![Page 46: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• Patients whose slips were picked from hat, then get to draw from a fishbowl
• Fishbowl contains 69 “small”, 20 “medium”, 10 “large”, and 1 “Jumbo
• Small ($1.00)• Medium ($5.00)• Large ($20.00)• Jumbo ($100.00)
![Page 47: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Understand and Involve the PatientSurvey of Desired Prizes
• Small - lotion, toothbrush, socks, granola bars, combs, pens, etc.
• Medium – disposable cameras, batteries, coffee gift cards, etc.
• Large – movie theater tickets, watches, Subway gift cards, Applebee gift cards, coffeemaker
• Jumbo – microwave, pot and pan set
![Page 48: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Contingency Management Round 1• CM Round 1 began on 8/27/08 • Closed group – unable to compare to similar group • We were able to compare overall retention in treatment with
those patients who started treatment at the same time with the CM participants
• 71% of CM participants were active, 29% were not• Compared to non-CM participants, 64% active 36% were not• Based on Round 1’s information there was an increase of 7% in
treatment retention of CM participants

Contingency Management Round 2• CM Round 2 began on 12/3/08• Open group• Compared to another Phase 1 group same time
different day facilitated by the same counselor• Findings showed the average attendance rates were
the same• We did find an increase in overall retention for the CM
patients compared to non-cm patients
![Page 51: Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55532bb2b4c905e12e8b4640/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Contingency Management Round 3• CM Round 3 began on 4/1/09 • Open group• Group findings were compared to another Phase 1
group that was not facilitated by the CM counselor, and again average attendance rates were the same
• The CM group compared to those starting treatment at the same time, showed that CM participants had a 57% increase in treatment retention
