Organizational support has been identified as a key facilitator of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) implementation. DBT is a psychosocial treatment that effectively reduces symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder, suicidality, non-suicidal self-injury, and severe emotional and behavioral dyscontrol. To increase access to care for those in need, organizations must know how to support DBT. ICED – an acronym for implementation team, checklist, evaluation and feedback, and DBT skills – is a behaviorally-specific, step-by-step approach for DBT program implementation informed by implementation science. Each step has been defined and piloted when implementing a DBT practice in Wilmington, Delaware. Case material is provided to illustrate each step of ICED in action, and future research is recommended for testing ICED across organizations and settings.

1st generation EHR technology was designed for process automation and capturing maximum billing fees. With the 2nd generation, there is an opportunity to utilize extensible big data technologies and a modern and intuitive mobile app-like user experience. This design has the potential to streamline workflows, remove the need for training and make data easy to capture, store, and analyze. The result will be an EHR platform that can be rapidly configured to support EBP service delivery and data analysis and then tuned to make the EBP stick.
