The PTSD Practitioner Registry: An Innovative Tracking, Dissemination, and Support Tool for Providers in Military and Nonmilitary Settings

Abstract

The PTSD Practitioner Exchange is an innovative research project for clinicians in three service sectors-the VA, DoD, and the community-which aims to disseminate the most recent clinically relevant information and resources supporting delivery of key practices endorsed in the VA-DoD Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of PTSD; to support clinician well-being; and to identify factors enabling the implementation of clinical best practices in the treatment of PTSD. In order to provide this Exchange a two-phase study will be conducted. In Phase I, qualitative interviews are being conducted with 60 providers to assess practitioner needs and interests in the registry as well as pre-test the proposed registry survey. In Phase II, an RCT will be conducted to evaluate the impact of registry participation on practices/CPG awareness, receptivity and implementation. To date, the study team has completed the first phase of qualitative interviews and has enrolled 83% of the overall recruitment goal of 600 participants.
