MQP - Developing an Online Community for Clear Path for Veterans New England
The goals of our project were to develop and implement an online community for the veterans and employees of Clear Path for Veterans New England. To complete these goals, our team interviewed employees at Clear Path, designed and developed the online community, and implemented the online community for the use of both employees and veterans. The online community is expected to solve Clear Path’s problems with information on their current website.
MQP - VA Mental Health Integration
White River Junction Medical Center veterans are screened annually for mental health disorders. Patients who screen positive are treated in Primary Care, Primary Mental Health Care (PMHC) clinic and/or Specialized Mental Health Care clinic. We only consider patients with one or more of depression, PTSD or Alcohol Abuse. The VA needs to evaluate the effectiveness of medication and psychotherapy treatments provided. For this reason, we identified a target population and implemented a quality scale to track quality of treatments. We also analyzed the PMHC clinic to determine the workforce necessary to support a certain quality level. We utilized a discrete-event simulation model of the PMHC clinic to analyze the system if all the patients with positive screening were to be seen.
