Integrated primary and mental health care services: An evolving partnership model.

Abstract

The authors conclude that primary care outreach is a promising strategy in mental health settings and that the Chronic Care Model (CCM) provides a set of guidelines for designing and monitoring quality integrated care for a partnership model of integrated care.

Report on the APNA National Psychiatric Mental Health Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Survey

“…A similar academic partnership was developed in Chicago and also designed to address the needs of individuals dealing with SMI (McDevitt, Braun, Noyes, Snyder, & Marion, 2005). This model of care also embraced a nursing perspective on addressing the holistic needs of individuals, and it continues to evolve and grow with innovative methods and outreach to address client needs (Davis et al, 2011).…”

Evaluating Diabetes Care for Patients With Serious Mental Illness Using the Chronic Care Model

However, the profession has not forwarded a coordinated plan for what needs to be done to provide leadership in integrated care, population health, increasing the number of PMH advanced practice nurse (APN) providers, and building adequate outpatient services via team-based care.…”
