Project | Type | Participants | Goals |
|---|---|---|---|
TIDES | Action research partnership with formative evaluation | â—† Primary care, mental health, nursing and administrative leaders from three regional veterans health networks; â—† Experienced depression care researchers; and â—† Depressed veterans. | Study feasibility and safety of evidenced-based quality improvement for depression care. Steps included: 1) Adapt depression collaborative care models to VA settings through Evidence-Based Quality Improvement for Depression (EBQID); 2) Support and evaluate depression collaborative care implementation; and 3) Prepare for dissemination of depression improvement methods and materials throughout the VHA. |
WAVES | Site-randomized controlled trial | â—† TIDES sites and matched control sites, and â—† Veterans enrolled in primary care clinics screened for depression. | Implement & test depression collaborative care using TIDES evidence-based model. |
COVES | Mixed method; administrative data analysis and qualitative interviews | â—† Stakeholders (patients, clinicians, administrators), and â—† Administrators of databases of veterans' records. | Understand cost and value tradeoffs of TIDES implementation using VA cost information and semi-structured interviews with TIDES stakeholders. |
ReTIDES | Regional demonstration project with program evaluation | All levels of VHA administrative structure including: â—† Central Office, â—† 4 regional health networks and administrative control networks, â—† VA medical centers, â—† Clinics, â—† Providers, â—† Administrators, and â—† Patients. | Support progress of TIDES collaborative care model toward national VHA implementation. Sustain and spread TIDES evidence-based depression care model to additional VHA sites |
