Virtual Integrated Multi-Site Patient Aligned Care Team (V-IMPACT) was a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) initiative created to increase access primary care for through Clinical Video Telehealth (CVT) appointments. Between January and August 2019, we conducted 48 semi-structured qualitative interviews with who had V-IMPACT appointment. Many participants shared feelings of skepticism before their first appointments but some, opinions changed. talked about how opinion video changed the...

Methods Twenty with FEP were receiving...
Adaptations to implementation strategies are often necessary support adoption and scale-up of evidence-based practices. Tracking adaptations is critical for understanding any impacts on outcomes. However, these infrequently collected. In this article we present a case study how used new method during COVID-19 systematically track report relational facilitation, novel strategy grounded in coordination theory. Relational facilitation aims assess improve communication relationships teams being...
