CoNNECT will recruit CCRN practices with collaborative care delivery models and existing DARTNet practices without collaborative care to examine similarities and differences between practices that have onsite mental health providers compared to primary care practices that use a traditional referral model of offsite mental health providers.

CoNNECT –Research Collaborative Through Connectivity
Study Description and Methods
Specific Aims and Objectives
We will be tracking two main elements in this study:
- the number of patients identified with a comorbid mental health and physical health diagnosis; and
- the number of patients who initiate treatment secondary to a mental health diagnosis. CoNNECT will use AcTIONet's relationship with CINA to extract data from electronic health records to generate this data and combine it with other data from participating practices.
Timeline
This project will be conducted from August 2010 through July 2012
Status
This project is currently collecting data through the Electronic Network and the CCRN.
