Impact of team configuration and team stability on primary care quality.
This paper discusses an upcoming study on the impact of team configurations on primary care effectiveness in clinics in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Recommendations are based on the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model. Researchers plan to extract data from over 7000 primary care teams in the VHA’s Team Assignment Reports (TAR).

Changes in patient-reported alcohol-related advice following veterans health administration implementation of brief alcohol interventions.
The researchers examined whether an independent measure of brief interventions-patient-reported alcohol-related advice-also increased among VA outpatients who screened positive for alcohol misuse on a mailed survey. They found that among patients with alcohol misuse, the adjusted prevalence of alcohol-related advice increased from 40.4% in 2007 to 55.5% in 2011. Rates of alcohol-related advice increased significantly each year except the last.

A first look at PCMH implementation for minority veterans: room for improvement.
The researchers sought to determine if the degree of Patient Aligned Care Teams (a patient-centered medical home model), implementation at Veterans Health Administration hospital-based and community-based primary care facilities varied with the percentage of minority veteran patients at each facility. They found that overall implementation of the care teams varied with respect to the racial/ethnic composition of a facility, with medium and high minority facilities having lower implementation scores.

Local implementation of alcohol screening and brief intervention at five Veterans Health Administration primary care clinics: Perspectives of clinical and administrative staff.
The researchers conducted a qualitative key informant study to describe local implementation of alcohol screening and brief intervention from the perspectives of frontline adopters in VA primary care . Findings suggest that the local process of implementing alcohol screening and brief intervention may have inadequately addressed important adopter needs.
