Abstract
Among veterans, there is a 7% lifetime prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Goldstein et al., 2016), with this diagnosis being linked to poor health and quality of life (Goldstein et al., 2016; Schnurr et al., 2009). Veterans with PTSD may present for treatment in a variety of health care settings, meaning that providers across all of these settings need information about how to care for veterans with PTSD. Despite a number of ongoing efforts to ensure that veterans have access to effective, recovery-oriented treatments for PTSD within Veterans Affairs (VA), there is a need for further improvement and likely an even greater need for improvement in non-VA settings. A variety of consultation and technical assistance models exist, though research has lagged in this area. This article reports the rationale, development, and initial outcomes of the PTSD Consultation Program, a centralized consultation program started in 2011, which is available to all providers offering care to veterans with PTSD on an "on-request" basis. From 2011 to 2022, there have been 17,417 consultation requests, with about three quarters coming from VA providers, most often related to resources or treatment questions. The program has also flexibly responded to current events and crises. Survey feedback indicates high satisfaction. Data indicate that this type of on-request consultation may be an effective method to utilize the expertise of a few providers to help support a broader range of providers in implementing high-quality PTSD-or other types of specialty-care. Future research can link these data to more distal outcomes. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
