Assessing Culture and Climate of Federally Qualified Health Centers: A Plan for Implementing Behavioral Health
Objective:
This study examines organizational factors relating to climate and culture that might facilitate or impede the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBP) targeting behavioral health in federally qualified health centers (FQHCs).
Methods:
Employees at six FQHCs participating in an evidence-based quality improvement (EBQI) initiative for mood disorders and alcohol abuse were interviewed (N=32) or surveyed using the Organizational Context Survey (OCS) assessing culture and climate (N=64).
Results:
The FQHCs scored relatively well on proficiency, a previously established predictor of successful EBP implementation, but also logged high scores on scales assessing rigidity and resistance, which may hinder implementation. Qualitative data contextualized scores on FQHC culture and climate dimensions.
Conclusions:
Results suggest that the unique culture of FQHCs may influence implementation of evidence-based behavioral health interventions.
