Table 1 Core elements of collaborative care intervention targeting PTSD and comorbidity after injury

From: An effectiveness-implementation hybrid trial study protocol targeting posttraumatic stress disorder and comorbidity

Essential element Which disorders targeted MCC strategic framework goals addresseda
Population-based EHR PTSD and comorbidity risk prediction PTSD, depression, suicidal ideation, alcohol and drug use problems, TBI and chronic medical conditions after acute injury Goal 1 objective D implement and efficiently use health information technology; EHR screening efficiently identifies constellation of PTSD and comorbidity in injured populations
Care management with trauma center to primary care linkage Coordination of acute injury mental health and pre-existing chronic medical condition care Goal 2 facilitate use of community based services and self-care management
Early post-injury medication history, reconciliation, and care coordination PTSD, depression, pain, and TBI symptoms prevention. Chronic medical condition reconciliation and coordination Goal 1 objective E prevent occurrence of new chronic conditions and mitigate the consequences of existing conditions
Goal 2 objective C provide tools for medication management
Evidence-based MI embedded within care management Targets alcohol and drug use problems and enhanced patient engagement Goal 1 objective E prevent occurrence of new chronic conditions and mitigate the consequences of existing conditions
Evidence-based CBT embedded within care management Targets PTSD, depression, pain, and TBI symptoms. Also targets enhanced patient self-efficacy Goal 1 objective E prevent occurrence of new chronic conditions and mitigate the consequences of existing conditions
Goal 2 objective A facilitate self-care management
Patient and caregiver-centered posttraumatic concern elicitation and improvement Patient-centered concerns elicitation and improvement targets patient and family engagement in care of full MCC constellation Goal 2 optimize self-care management and coordinated use of services by patient and caregivers
Caseload supervision and stepped measurement-based care implementation PTSD, depression and associated suicidal ideation, alcohol and drug use problems, chronic medical conditions and acute physical injury Goal 3 provide better information and education on treatment of MCCs to health care workers
