Summary

The VA's Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention implemented an new program to increase suicide prevention outreach for Veterans at highest risk for suicide. Using a statistical model, REACH VET, short for Recovery Engagement and Coordination for Health - Veterans Enhanced Treatment, uses information from Veterans' health records to identify those who are at a higher risk for suicide, hospitalization, illness, or other negative outcomes. Once a Veteran is identified, his or her VA mental health or primary care provider reaches out to check on the Veteran's well-being and review their treatment plan to determine if enhanced care is needed. The goal of the current study was to evaluate the implementation of this program. The objectives of this evaluation were to evaluate how well this program is put into place using an implementation strategy called virtual external facilitation, and to collect data about the cost of the program and the strategy.

External facilitation

Facilitation is an evidence-based implementation strategy to support sites that have difficulty implementing innovative programs. Facilitation is a multi-faceted "process of interactive problem solving and support that occurs in the context of a recognized need for improvement and a supportive interpersonal relationship (Powell et al., 2015)." Facilitation has been used nationally across VA to implement a number of different clinical interventions. The current project will examine this minimally intensive version of implementation facilitation, virtual external facilitation.
