Summary

STUN Alcohol Use Now is an intervention designed to use primary care practice support services (practice facilitation) to help small to medium-size practices (10 or fewer providers) identify and provide services for people with unhealthy alcohol use. The original recruitment goal was 135 primary care practices in North Carolina, which we were unable to meet due to pandemic-related barriers.

Practice Facilitation

1. Implementing evidence-based protocols and the use of clinical algorithms (for screening, counseling, referral, and MAT) to engage the entire clinical team in a high standard delivery of care. 2. Promoting a strong use of decision support tools and templates to support the practice workflow. 3. Optimizing the use of the electronic health record (EHR) to pull clinical data on a monthly basis to guide the change process. 4. Developing patient registries (e.g., for those identified to have AUD) to identify needed care 5. Proactive, team-based care with assigned roles and responsibilities to prepare the clinical team to develop needed care and engage patients throughout the entire visit process. 6.
