- Vermont Department of Health Alcohol and Drug Abuse Programs cat-community cat-research
Vermont Department of Health Alcohol and Drug Abuse Programs
The Vermont Department of Health Division of Substance Use Programs (DSU, formerly ADAP) oversees a network of health promotion, prevention, intervention, treatment and recovery services to prevent, reduce and eliminate the health impacts of alcohol, cannabis, opioid and other drug use. Works with national, state and community-based organizations to make programs and services available to Vermonters. We use data to plan and guide program improvements, and to support Vermont’s statewide system of providers.
- The Vermont Blueprint for Health cat-community cat-research
The Vermont Blueprint for Health
The Vermont Blueprint for Health (the Blueprint) is a state-led, nationally-recognized initiative transforming health care delivery and payments. The foundation is the Blueprint’s Transformation Network, a network of Practice Facilitators, Community Health Team leaders, and Project Managers, who work with Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs), Community Health Teams (CHTs), and local health and human services leaders. This network allows for rapid response to Vermont’s health priorities through statewide implementation of new initiatives. Blueprint programs are continuously informed by comprehensive evaluations of health care quality and outcomes at the practice-, community-, and state-levels. As the care delivery system and payment model evolve, the Blueprint’s aim is constant: connecting Vermonters with whole person health care that is evidence-based, patient and family-centered, and cost-effective.
- Maine Medical Center Research Institute cat-research
Maine Medical Center Research Institute
The Maine Medical Center Research Institute supports and encourages a broad spectrum of research at Maine Medical Center ranging from basic laboratory-based research through the translational research, which works to apply basic discoveries to medical problems, to clinical research, which studies the direct application of new drugs, devices and treatment protocols to patients, to health services research which seeks to use research methods to help improve and evaluate health care delivery programs and new technologies.
Successful medical research is a complex process requiring close collaboration of basic scientists, physicians, epidemiologists and data analysts, state-of-the-art instruments, resources to protect the interest of patients who volunteer to participate in clinical trials, and a strong commitment on the part of the Institution. All of these elements are represented in the Maine Medical Center Research Institute. We have world-class scientists working on the most advanced biomedical problems. We have been successful in bringing the benefits of new discoveries to our patients and to the world, and we have an ongoing commitment to continue to be one of the very best biomedical research communities.
- Dartmouth CO-OP Primary Care Research Network cat-research
Dartmouth CO-OP Primary Care Research Network
Started in 1972, the Dartmouth CO-OP Primary Care Research Network (The Dartmouth CO-OP Project) is one of the oldest primary care research networks in the United States. The research network is a voluntary, cooperative network of independent clinicians. The CO-OP collaborates with academic researchers to improve the outcomes focus of care and develop products that work in busy community-practice settings.
The mission of the Dartmouth CO-OP Project is to:
- Generate funded research and publish results to support the practice of evidence-based medicine
- Provide opportunities for clinicians and other health professionals to develop new research skills
- Perform research studies in partnership with primary care clinicians, their patients and the communities they serve to improve health care delivery and patient outcomes
- Facilitate clinical translation in both directions, using the expertise of clinicians to guide the research and extending the expertise of researchers to support clinicians.
- Center for Technology and Behavioral Health cat-research
Center for Technology and Behavioral Health
The Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH) is a P30 "Center of Excellence" funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Comprised of an interdisciplinary team of leaders in behavioral science and technology, CTBH aims to draw on the dynamic synergy between innovation, rigorous evaluation, and strategic dissemination to lead transformations in delivery of evidence-based behavioral health care using technology.
The CTBH team shares a goal of harnessing existing and emerging technologies to effectively develop and deliver evidence-based interventions for substance use and co-occurring disorders. CTBH is organized into three primary cores: Treatment Development & Evaluation, Emerging Technologies & Data Analytics, and Dissemination & Implementation Core. Core activities focus on identifying and studying state-of-the-art issues related to technology-delivered therapeutic tools targeting behavioral health.
