Leveraging Genetic and Electronic Health Records Data to Identify Novel Targets and Drugs for Treating Alcohol Use Disorder

This pharmacoepidemiologic study conducted in collaboration with Dr. Joshua Gray at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences will examine L-type calcium channel blockers (e.g., nifedipine, felodipine) as a potential novel therapeutic target for treatment of alcohol use disorder. Dr. Gray and others have shown that L-type calcium channels are genetically supported targets with theoretical and preclinical support for repurposing for treating alcohol use disorder. This study will use electronic health records data from Kaiser Permanente Northern California to examine whether patients treated with L-type calcium channel blockers have significantly greater reductions in alcohol use compared to a control group of patients.

Evaluating the Impact of Changes in Opioid Prescribing Across Health Systems Implementing Zero Suicide

Henry Ford Health System, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, Kaiser Permanente Northern California, Kaiser Permanente Northwest, and Kaiser Permanente Southern California are implementing the National Zero Suicide Model (NZSM), and have received funding from the National Institute of Mental Health to evaluate fidelity and suicide outcomes. This presents a unique opportunity to study the NZSM within the context of large, diverse systems with defined patient populations, thus enabling measurement of suicide attempt and death outcomes. This mixed-methods project seeks to optimize metrics for measurement of specific care processes in each region using longitudinal electronic health records (EHRs) with discrete data fields that are easily extractable and generalizable to other systems. Parallel change in opioid prescribing across systems will be analyzed and its impact evaluated as a system-level means reduction approach within the context of NZSM implementation.

Evaluation of a Clinical Quality Improvement Pilot of Adverse Childhood Experiences Screening and Brief Intervention in Pediatric Primary Care

This study will evaluate a quality improvement pilot project being conducted at pediatrics departments in the greater Kaiser Permanente Southern Alameda County area. The pilot project involves screening children at 1-to-5-year-old well child visits for adverse childhood experiences or trauma exposure and providing clinical follow-up and information and referral services for those who screen positive. This project aims to 1) evaluate the acceptability to clinicians of screening for adverse childhood experiences, 2) measure screening rates for adverse childhood experiences following the change in workflow, 3) evaluate the acceptability of such screening to parents, and 4) examine overall prevalence of adverse childhood experiences or trauma exposure among parents of patients receiving pediatric care. The study will test how demographic characteristics (race and ethnicity, age, gender, socio-economic status, insurance type) and clinical factors, including medical and psychiatric diagnoses, relate to prevalence and number of adverse childhood experiences and examine associations between such experiences and health and mental health comorbidities, as well as care services utilization.

Population-Based Screening and Brief Intervention in Primary Care: Health and Drinking Outcomes, Cost and Utilization

In June 2013, Kaiser Permanente Northern California incorporated alcohol screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) into the clinical workflow of its Adult Medicine program, alongside other preventive health measures (e.g., smoking screening, exercise, cancer screening, etc.). SBIRT has demonstrated effectiveness in improving drinking outcomes among primary care patients. However, these patients frequently have comorbid conditions that also require management by primary care physicians. Beyond drinking outcomes, what if any additional beneficial health outcomes can be attributed to SBIRT for primary care patients who drink above recommended guidelines? Using population-level data, this observational, prospective cohort study will examine the effects of system-wide implementation of alcohol SBIRT in adult primary care within Kaiser Permanente Northern California, with a focus on health and drinking outcomes, as well as health care utilization and costs, over time.

Detection, Treatment and Follow-up of Unrecognized Behavioral Health Problems in the Emergency Department

Behavioral health (BH) problems frequently exacerbate medical conditions of emergency department (ED) patients and contribute to ongoing suboptimal healthcare utilization. Because non-crisis BH problems are often undetected in the ED, we evaluate an innovative model of care that incorporates a BH resource person in the ED to address the BH concerns of non-critical ED patients. This evaluation study examines the feasibility and impact of this model of care on patients’ service utilization patterns in a before/after interventional study design. We characterize the types and scope of BH problems among all adult (18+ years old) patients with non-critical medical conditions presenting for care in the San Leandro Medical Center ED during a 16-month period (8 months pre-implementation of the BH resource person and 8 months post). Our research questions are: (1) To what extent does this model of care improve the detection, brief treatment, and follow-up of ED patients with non-crisis BH conditions? (2) What is its impact on ED patient flow as well as care team attitudes toward behavioral problems? We will use the electronic health record to characterize BH diagnoses and symptomatology among the non-critical ED population as well as to measure rates of specialty BH treatment (Psychiatry and Chemical Dependency) referral, initiation and engagement, ED and primary care utilization, and use of KPNC electronic resources, such as the patient portal. We also examine the feasibility of embedding a BH resource person in the ED.

Video Consultation to Increase Integration of Primary Care and Addiction Medicine and Improve Alcohol-Related Health Outcomes

KPNC has been a leader in implementing alcohol SBIRT as part of routine primary care with its Alcohol as a Vital Sign initiative, which involves medical assistants (MAs) screening all patients in Adult Medicine and Family Practice for alcohol problems, and primary care providers (PCPs) delivering brief advice to patients who screen positive. However, brief primary-care interventions have been less successful at addressing the needs of patients with more severe alcohol problems. For this pilot study, we will utilize existing technologies to develop and pilot the use of KPNC secure video consultations by Addiction Medicine clinicians with patients and physicians in primary care. The team has already formed strong working relationships with key stakeholders in KPNC Primary Care, Addiction Medicine, and Information Technology.

Development of Predictive Models for the Development of Adolescent Substance Use Problems

The objective of this study is to develop models to predict the development of substance use disorders (SUDs) among adolescents in four health systems: KPNC, KPHI, Henry Ford and Geisinger. We will focus on EHR data available during study period from birth cohorts with dates of birth occurring during 1997-2003 to examine the predictors of developing a SUD between the ages of 12-18. We will use the data infrastructure and resources of the Addiction Research Network of the HCSRNs VDW to develop predictive models for the development of adolescent SUDs. The four systems offer significant geographic, demographic, delivery design, and socioeconomic and epidemiological diversity, enhancing the generalizability of findings while also providing significant coverage of the national population. The goal is to identify high risk children for feasible, cost-effective, targeted prevention and intervention.

Evaluation of SBIRT for Adolescents in School and Pediatric Health Settings

This study examines the effectiveness of a group intervention (“Teen MPower”) for adolescents with behavioral health problems at improving patient outcomes and increasing specialty behavioral health treatment access, and examining barriers to and facilitators of implementation. Behavioral health problems – depression, anxiety, stress and alcohol and drug use – are highly prevalent among adolescents, nationally and within KPNC. These problems are associated with costly utilization, cause significant distress and morbidity, and if left unaddressed, often require specialty psychiatric or chemical dependency treatment. This group intervention offers a potentially cost-effective alternative to individualized interventions. We use a randomized controlled trial design to implement two study arms, Teen MPower Groups and Individual Brief Intervention sessions. We assess patients at intake, immediately post-intervention, and at 6 months to collect patient outcomes (e.g. substance use, mood and anxiety symptoms, and related problems stressors). We use Health Connect data to compare specialty treatment engagement. We closely observe the implementation process to examine the factors which may facilitate or impede implementation. This study will take place in two settings: KP Oakland Pediatrics and high schools in Minnesota, and the two study components are conducted completely independently, aside from regular collaborative calls between the study teams. The study will compare effectiveness of different aspects of the model by site.
