This document discusses patient engagement in healthcare. It provides definitions of patient engagement from various organizations and studies that have measured outcomes of patient engagement strategies. Key points made include that patient engagement is emerging as a major focus in healthcare reform and involves patients actively managing their own care. Plans and providers will need to define engagement strategies that are outcome-focused and involve ongoing management of chronic conditions in primary care settings. Measurement studies show patient engagement approaches can reduce healthcare utilization and costs when integrated with primary care.
MET vs TAU in 4 large multisite RCTs found:
1) No main effect on retention or substance use for outpatient treatment.
2) One study found a small effect on early retention but not substance use.
3) Studies of pregnant drug users and Spanish speakers also found no main effects of MET vs TAU.
The findings suggest MET may not produce meaningful improvements over TAU in typical substance abuse treatment settings based on these high quality trials.

How to Create and Maintain a Successful Loyalty Program Part CVivastream
This document discusses how communication is essential for an effective loyalty program. It notes that New Zealand Telecom's program was ineffective because 90% of customers did not know it existed. It recommends regularly communicating with customers to thank them for purchases, reinforce benefits, and make them feel part of something special. The document also stresses the importance of continuously improving loyalty programs through new rewards, benefits, and value to keep customers engaged. It notes that many customers do not abruptly defect but gradually reduce spending or change behaviors, so focusing on these "lapsing customers" can have a big impact on profits. The key is managing this downward trend through targeted communication and offers.

How to Anticipate and Plan for an R Grant Application. (2022)UCLA CTSI
Carol Mangione provides strategies for early career researchers to successfully transition from a K award to an R01 grant. She emphasizes building relationships at NIH, identifying the best fitting funding opportunities, and making the most of preliminary K award research. Researchers should publish findings, present at conferences, and collaborate with senior scientists. When preparing an R01 application, researchers should clearly outline the proposed project based on significant preliminary findings and check that the research aims have not already been funded.

CERP Meeting
9/20/2012
2. Background
• Health behaviors and psychological status (e.g., tobacco use, poor
diet, depression) are infrequently and inconsistently assessed in
primary care despite their negative effects on health outcomes
• Standardized collection of patient-reported data on these health
topics is an important first step
• Establishment of clinic protocols to also systematically address
behavioral factors in primary care are critically needed
▫ Methods that maximize use of EHR hold the greatest promise for
routinization, institutionalization and sustainability
• Inclusion of safety net clinics and the vulnerable patients they
serve in these efforts is vital to reduce widening health disparities
3. NIH-Funded Pilot Study (10/11-9/12)
• Implemented a brief questionnaire to assess patient reported
data for 10 domains in 4 Federally Qualified Health Clinics in
Southern California
• Paper-and-pencil administration of “Patient Health Update” in
English, Spanish, and Chinese

10. CERP Pilot Project Aims
• Project Aim 1: In collaboration with Building Community Capacity
for Quality (BCCQ) convene a learning community comprised of 3-4
safety-net clinic organizations to understand current practices with
regard to the assessment of patient-reported measures of
behavioral risk factors and protocols to address these risk factors in
primary care settings. (Relevant to CERP Aim 1)
• Project Aim 2: Through a collaborative stakeholder engagement
process, select a set of patient-reported measures that can be
commonly collected across clinics participating in the learning
community. (Relevant to CERP Aim 2)
• Project Aim 3: Use data collected to inform development of a
prototype of an electronic patient-reported outcome data collection
and feedback system. (Relevant to CERP Aim 4)
11. Methods
• Convene a Learning Collaborative to Facilitate Sharing of Best Practices:
▫ Half day event scheduled for November 2012
▫ Working with BCCQ to select invitees-plan to include high level administrators or
medical director and information technology staff
▫ Plan to involve 3-6 organizations to keep group small and interactive
▫ Goal of event: provide opportunity for sites to share “best practices” for electronic
capture of behavioral risk factor data and using EHR and registry systems
• Organizational Assessment: Collection of data from each clinic participating in the
learning community with regard to current collection of patient-reported data for the
behavioral domains (i.e., method of collection, frequency of collection, target
population for assessment) and protocols in place for addressing these issues
• Key Informant Interviews with Clinic Administrators and Staff: Conduct key
informant interviews (2-3 informants per clinic) to understand stakeholder experiences
of PRO data collection, challenges & facilitators, interoperability between EHR and
other data systems, use of PRO data for reports and feedback
12. Methods
• Develop PRO Data Collection and Feedback Prototype: Use data to develop a
prototype that can be used to electronically capture data and facilitate
providers in addressing “out of range” patient values
▫ Prototype to produce easy-to-use views of patient data to allow for tracking
assessment over time and generating flags for “positive” results
▫ Goal to develop system that will be interoperable with many EHR systems
▫ Collaborating with technical team led by NIH’s Office of Behavioral and
Social Sciences Research
13. CERP aims addressed
• CERP Aim 1. Promote and sustain bidirectional knowledge
sharing between community and academia.
• CERP Aim 2. Strengthen community infrastructure for
sustainable partnered research.
• CERP Aim 4. Build health services research (HSR) methods into
partnerships to accelerate design, production, and wide
adoption of evidence-based practice and behavior.

15. Added-Value from CTSI Funding
• Recently completed pilot allowed us to collect data from 4
Federally Qualified Health Center using paper-based methods
• CTSI funding allows us to take project to the next step:
▫ Focus on electronic capture of data
▫ Continued partnership with BCCQ will ensure involvement
of clinics with more HIT experience to share
▫ Comprehensive assessment of current practice and
solicitation of “best practices” in safety net will provide
valuable foundation for future work
▫ Development of a prototype will greatly facilitate ability to
address behavioral risk factors
16. Next Steps
• Dissemination of “lessons learned” to safety net
clinics
• Use pilot to apply for external funding to evaluate
the effect of prototype system more formally
