Treatments Being Tested
PORTAL-PTSD
Patients will be eligible if they are 18+ years, have had a primary care visit in the last 2 years, and have not been screened for PTSD in the last year. The validated PC-PTSD-5 (Primary Care Post Traumatic Stress Disorder-5) screener will be used. Clinics will implement visit-based and population health screening for patients enrolled in the patient portal who have not been screened for PTSD in the last year and have had a clinic appointment in the last 2 years. The PCBH care manager or patient navigator will follow-up with patients every 2 weeks to ensure they have been connected to care and re-measure their PTSD symptoms. The follow-up calls will continue until symptom remission, after which follow-ups will occur quarterly for 6 months. Primary care clinicians will receive training on trauma-informed care and PTSD management, and will be surveyed at baseline, immediately after training, and 6 months-post intervention to evaluate changes in their knowledge of trauma-informed care.
