Why Should SBIRT Stick?

• Improves clinical care • Transforms culture• Prepares your organization for health care changes• Prepares your workforce for health care changes• Expands reach to new audiences• Replaces less effective screening methods

Making SBIRT Stick Top Five

1) Make the case. Re-engage leadership & staff (don’t lose steam now).

2) Tighten up implementation. Develop protocols and close gaps to deliver appropriate clinical responses.

3) Train new staff. Write into job descriptions and training protocols.

4) Dig into the data. You’re collecting it, so use the heck out of it.

5) Use your EHR. This is the single biggest contributor to stickiness.

1) Universally screen. All clinicians should screen every adolescent in the program.

2) Use peers and non-clinical staff. This approach is growing, and can relieve pressure on clinical staff.

3) Conduct a screening event. All the shouldn’t happen at intake.

4) Take it to the streets. You have the skills and know-how; where does this fit into your community?

5) Expand to adult populations. Same process, different screening tool, similar cultural shift.
