Project | Type | Participants | Goals |
|---|---|---|---|
TIDES | Action research partnership with formative evaluation | ◆ Primary care, mental health, nursing and administrative leaders from three regional veterans health networks; ◆ Experienced depression care researchers; and ◆ 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 | ◆ TIDES sites and matched control sites, and ◆ 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 | ◆ Stakeholders (patients, clinicians, administrators), and ◆ 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: ◆ Central Office, ◆ 4 regional health networks and administrative control networks, ◆ VA medical centers, ◆ Clinics, ◆ Providers, ◆ Administrators, and ◆ 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 |
