SBIRT@Wishard We (will) Ask Everyone* Indiana and Wishard Health received $8.3 Million to improve early substance use detection and intervention. Goal: Screen every primary care patient over the age of 18 at least once per year and offer brief intervention and referral as appropriate. SBIRT@Wishard: 10 CHCs, 5 Years, 100K Patients Starting with Westside!
The Problem: A Lost Opportunity 20.8 million of 23.2 million people needing treatment for substance use did not receive it. Annual cost estimates are $184.6 billion for alcohol abuse and $143 billion for drug abuse. 53.7% of patients said their healthcare provider did nothing about their substance abuse, with 43% said they were never diagnosed, and 10.7% believed their provider knew about the addiction but did nothing. 74.1% of patients said their primary care physician was not involved in their decision to seek treatment, and 16.7% said the physician was involved a little.
The Solution: Is Burt!
The Solution: SBIRT Pronounced S-BURT, like Burt, not SBIRT, like SPURT X
The Solution: SBIRT Screening Brief Referral to Intervention Treatment S. Screening for problems with validated brief items BI. Brief Intervention by a professional who discusses alcohol and drug use issues with those who may be at risk RT. Referral to Treatment if warranted. Not all that different from what we already do here at Westside, but a more systematic and structured approach to early identification
SBIRT has proven efficacy SBIRT has been shown to increase identification of at-risk/harmful users decrease frequency and severity of alcohol use increase number of patients with risky use or substance abuse disorders receiving treatment improve self-assessment of overall health decrease psychiatric symptoms precipitated by alcohol/drug use reduce injuries that require either treatment in the ED or readmission to trauma services
And is cost-beneficial What's more, SBIRT has been shown to be Cost-Beneficial. Upfront dollars led to significant ROI. For example, Project TrEAT 48-month outcome data demonstrated a $43,000 reduction in health care costs for every $10,000 invested in early intervention Low Burden. SBIRT can be implemented to have relatively minimal impact on overall provider time and resources.
