Using Process Improvement to Build the Foundation for the Implementation of
Evidence-Based Practices: Contingency Management and Motivational Interviewing
demonstrates targeted behavior– Provides escalation of client’s ability to ‘earn’ reinforcers– Withhold reinforcer or reset if targeted behavior does not
occur
Contingency Management
Backer’s Framework:4 Fundamental Conditions
Dissemination
Evaluation
Resources
Human Dynamics of Change
6 Key Strategies• Interpersonal Contact
• Planning and Conceptual Foresight
• Outside Consultation on the Change Process
• User-Oriented Transformation of Information
• Individual & Organizational Championship
• Potential User Involvement
First Round Findings• Two of the three opioid tx programs implemented CM,
but the state’s role was labor intensive, no sustainability: Tx as usual approach needed
• Backer’s strategies, particularly use of outside consultant w/in a learning collaborative, were effective
• PAP necessary, but not sufficient for state’s ongoing management-each program had a readiness phase that was not integrated into original PAP
• Absence of program Executive staff & implementation team (infrastructure) inhibited sustainability
• Organizational capacity & use of data to track progress critical
Second Round: STAR-SI OP Providers (2008-9)
Characteristics:
All had developed mastery of NIATx process improvement
Internal capacity & infrastructure to support rapid cycle change projects
Core implementation teams (ES,CL,DC,CM interventionist)
Proficient with data collection & interpretation
Ready to move from focus on access to retention
Tx as usual approach-no IRB
Reinforcement of attendance in Tx, not abstinence
Study DifferencesRetained:
Idea champions
Outside consultant-Dr. Petry
Weekly conference calls
Client tracking logs
Modified:
Demonstrated readiness/capacity
Identified CM clinician and back-up
Data driven management-STAR-QI
Integration as a NIATx change project
Full change team participation on weekly calls
Use of CM binders for record keeping
Use of comparison group for outcome analysis
State’s Role
Provided support for new CM manual: Name in the hat technique
Contracted with each provider $950. awarded to purchase reinforcements
Arranged for training by Dr. Petry
Feedback on provider written implementation plans
Set-up weekly conference calls to review tracking logs, provide feedback
Provide STAR-QI web-based data module & assist with data interpretation, dev. Of business case

The Road to Evidence- Based Practices
Beginning
• 2005: FACTS Director attends ASAP Conference on Niatx. National Project and statewide Conference Call introduced.
• Staff participates in call and instructions for a Walk-Thru were discussed.
• Staff members walk through treatment process. Goal: see agency from the customer perspective.
Findings:
• Appointment scheduling was confusing
• Poor communication between staff and clients resulting in double bookings
• Clients wait time between calling agency and first appointment needed reduction.
Goal: Reduce to 10% cancelled or broken intake
• Scheduling Process Changed:
• Scheduling Process now requires daily updates to avoid confusion.
• Initial sessions prioritized if double booking takes place.
Challenges which impacted continuation:
• Data collection confusing
• Time constraints
• Staff Resistance
Another Opportunity:
• 2007 Opportunity to join OASAS Star-SI Project for Long Island Programs.
• Accepted to participate.
• Staff trained in data collection and use of Star QI.
• Baseline data collected in Fall 2007
• Initial change team, team leader, and executive sponsor selected.
All Important: Support• Learning Collaborative
• Dr Z came to agency to explain Star-SI and train staff in techniques
• Fishbone and brain storming techniques were highlighted
• Telephone conference calls
Beginning of cultural change
• Staff introduced (through NIATX support) to concept of evidence-based programs
• Staff begins to understand value of knowing what works and what doesn’t
• Staff participates in initiative by monitoring change cycles
• Staff participated in ‘brainstorming’ and ‘fishbone’ activities
First Project:
• Goal : Reduce no-shows for initial session
• Project: Staff agreed to call persons scheduled for initial appointment: introduce themselves; ask about their experiences, if they have any questions, concerns re: treatment
Other Projects:• Started an Orientation Group• Client Satisfaction surveyed at 30, 60 and 90
days• Front Office Scripting• Clinical Supervisor participated in 3-day ‘Train
the Trainer’ on Motivational Interviewing• 6 1 ½ hour training sessions held for clinical
staff in Motivational Interviewing conducted by Clinical Supervisor at agency
Contingency Management
• OASAS announced Star-SI training in Contingency Management by Dr. Petry
• FACTS hosted training as well as sent staff for training
• Change Team Leader selected to go to training as well as 2 other staff members not previously part of Star-SI change team.
Selected CM Project:
• Alcohol and Chemical Dependency Education Group
• Data from current group assessed
• CM group run for the 12 week session with 3 staff members following CM protocol
Support: Bi-monthly meeting with other CM groups by OASAS and Dr Petry
• Problem solve
• Monitor progress
• Address problems in implementation
• Share ideas
• Assist with logistics/paperwork
Results
• The number of visits increased from 94 to 146 ( + 52)
• Small ($1.00)• Medium ($5.00)• Large ($20.00)• Jumbo ($100.00)
Understand and Involve the PatientSurvey of Desired Prizes
• Small - lotion, toothbrush, socks, granola bars, combs, pens, etc.
• Medium – disposable cameras, batteries, coffee gift cards, etc.
• Large – movie theater tickets, watches, Subway gift cards, Applebee gift cards, coffeemaker
• Jumbo – microwave, pot and pan set
Contingency Management Round 1• CM Round 1 began on 8/27/08 • Closed group – unable to compare to similar group • We were able to compare overall retention in treatment with
those patients who started treatment at the same time with the CM participants
• 71% of CM participants were active, 29% were not• Compared to non-CM participants, 64% active 36% were not• Based on Round 1’s information there was an increase of 7% in
treatment retention of CM participants

Contingency Management Round 2• CM Round 2 began on 12/3/08• Open group• Compared to another Phase 1 group same time
different day facilitated by the same counselor• Findings showed the average attendance rates were
the same• We did find an increase in overall retention for the CM
patients compared to non-cm patients
Contingency Management Round 3• CM Round 3 began on 4/1/09 • Open group• Group findings were compared to another Phase 1
group that was not facilitated by the CM counselor, and again average attendance rates were the same
• The CM group compared to those starting treatment at the same time, showed that CM participants had a 57% increase in treatment retention

Disadvantages of Contingency Management
• Time consuming
• Must have exceptional organizational skills to facilitate CM
• If CM counselor is unavailable the covering group counselor must be fully trained in Contingency Management
Advantages of Contingency Management
• Positive reinforcement for participants• Positive group cohesiveness • Participants learned timeliness skills• Support of bi-weekly phone calls • Increase in treatment retention• Increase in finances to the program
Motivational Interviewing• Another evidence based practice we have
implemented is Motivational Interviewing• Half of the staff in the adult service area have
been trained• Motivational interviewing techniques have
been applied in the Outpatient program during the intake process and during individual sessions
Motivational Interviewing• We will begin to track and monitor this process
using tape recorders to track use of OARS• Open ended questions• Affirmations• Reflective listening• Summaries
Impact of STAR-SI on Outpatient• Three major developments impacted from the changes
include:
1. An average increase of 15% of intake show rate, (2007-57%, 2008-62% and 2009-72%)
2. An increase in retention in treatment based on data collected from CM
3. An 8% increase of intakes coming from our inpatient unit
Impact of Star-SI on the Agency
• Due to successful outcomes the Outpatient Unit experienced using the NIATx model our director decided to implement use of this model throughout all our other adult service areas including:
• Inpatient Detox• Inpatient Rehab• Inpatient Psychiatric• Partial Psychiatric Day Program• Prevention Program
Plans Moving Forward• Another round of CM will take place with an
outpatient group and possibly to other areas of the program
• Orientation/Welcoming group
• Complete Staff training in Motivational Interviewing
