BMC Adults

• DDAS- pre visit planning for English speaking patients to screen in advance
• Have screened 15-20 patients
• Primary care is doing a diabetes and distress group with a social worker, potential to refer into group

Indiana University

• Integrating with paperwork PAID-T (500 completed)

• PDSA- follow up for people scoring high (15-20% scoring high)
• Data is still being mapped

Johns Hopkins

• Want to look at child, teen, and parent distress screening
• Doing some screeners on paper

Michigan Adults

• Internal funding accepts for Diabetes Distress group
• Donor/matched funds .15 FTE
• Tableau work views. Grand total 798 (higher number actually screened) because screening gets tagged on before, patients complete screens and then sometimes don’t keep appointments [discussion on how we can tie to next visit to count screener]. Practice is doing Distress screener virtually with no care connected; practice is not doing depression screener virtually (to ensure that follow up can be immediate, when needed.)
• Rolling out to other centers
• Screening- assigned on e-check in

Nationwide Children’s
