For primary care providers

The Washington Integrated Care Assessment (WA-ICA) is designed for outpatient primary care and behavioral health sites (including SUD providers). If your site primarily provides primary care services, consider using the primary care version of the assessment.

Resources for implementation

There are many resources and materials to support primary care sites in completing the WA-ICA.

WA-ICA Cohort 1 statewide results for primary care

Data collection for Cohort 1 participants occurred in July and August of 2022 with 79 primary care practice participants.

  • View the statewide results from Cohort 1 primary care sites.
  • View the Cohort 1 qualitative analysis. This is a combined analysis of both primary care and behavioral health site responses to qualitative assessment questions.

Implementation guide

The implementation guide for primary care sites explains how your care team should approach the WA-ICA. While this guide includes information specific to Cohort 1 (which ended in 2022), it also includes helpful information about forming your assessment team and completing the assessment, including detailed interpretations and real-life clinical examples of the different levels of each sub-domain.

Tutorial

Watch a 40-minute video tutorial led by the creator of the tool, Dr. Henry Chung. The tutorial walks through the primary care tool and provides practical advice for how to interpret each level of the sub-domains to assist in the application of the tool.

Webinar

HCA held an introductory webinar in 2022 to overview the tool. View the webinar and the corresponding presentation.
