Participant Flow

Twelve sites were recruited, matched according to level of organizational readiness-to-change, and randomized to intervention/control group within each of the 6 site-pairs. Patients with a new antipsychotic medication start were identified using VA data in 6-month pre-implementation, implementation, and sustainability periods.

Participants were continuously entered into the study when starting a new antipsychotic treatment and were assessed up to 120 days later, thus the number of participants within each period is independent of one another and for some participants where the 120 days spanned two periods they are counted in more than one period.

Intervention
Evidence-Based Quality Improvement plus external facilitation to promote uptake of quality improvement tools and improvement strategies available as part of a national initiative (the MIAMI Project) to disseminate recommendations, tools, and improvement strategies relevant to metabolic monitoring and management. Evidence-Based Quality Improvement Plus Facilitation: The intervention involves researchers partnering with clinical stakeholders, offering tailoring in local implementation strategies to address barriers to metabolic side-effect monitoring and management. External facilitation to support, problem-solve and refine implementation will be provided for a six-month implementation phase.
Comparison
"Usual care" with access to information about QI tools and improvement strategies, but no Evidence-Based Quality Improvement or Facilitation components.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Change in monitoring rates will be measured monthly through 6-month pre-implementation, implementation, and sustainability phases

Population: All patients who met inclusion criteria for this measure. Note that total for Outcome 1 is less than overall total N because patients were included for each measure independently if they met criteria any time in the 6-month implementation phases. Slightly more patients met criteria for the "follow-up monitoring" measures than "baseline monitoring."

For each monthly observation: The proportion of patients at each site due for weight monitoring at baseline who have weight recorded in the electronic health record.
