Learning Objectives Understand the role of a clinical champion in the process of implementing alcohol SBI and FASD screening into their practice Utilize the Interprofessional Practice Manual to integrate members of their practice into the screening and brief intervention process using an interprofessional model
Preparing for implementation What is your current practice when it comes to screening for risky alcohol use? What is your comfort level when discussing this matter with patients? Are there identifiable barriers and facilitators (e.g., workflow, EHR, staff support – MAs)? Do you have a process in place for referral? In-house, external?

Summary Points for Implementation Roll with resistance. Alcohol screening and brief intervention is about culture change, not just training. Brief intervention techniques are useful. Be willing to adapt. May need to shorten training to align with the needs of the primary care practice. Utilize an easy form to evaluate proficiency and competency. Ensure buy-in. Training and implementation should have continuity. For example, if you train residents and their attending does not do it, it is a problem. Give staff a voice on how things are implemented. Buy-in from everyone involved (including front desk) is essential. Consider substance use disorders the same way you do other chronic diseases. SBI/RT and MI are tools. Be efficient. The brief intervention can be accomplished in 4 minutes.
