Mental health integration: Rethinking practitioner roles in the treatment of depression: The specialist, primary care physicians, and the practice nurse
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2006
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: Although primary care provides the majority of mental health care, lack of time and documented economic benefit make it difficult for healthcare delivery systems to proactively implement effective treatment strategies for the growing disability of depression. Current care delivery models are inadequate and inefficient, leading to provider and consumer exhaustion, as well as significant gaps in care and poor outcomes. This publication describes a quality improvement pilot demonstration called "mental health integration" (MHI) that has been successful in realigning resources, enhancing clinical decision making, measuring the impact and building a business case to determine what actually is the value added for quality. Mental health integration (MHI) promotes the rethinking and retraining of traditional solo practitioner roles to new practitioner roles that facilitate partnership and effective communication as a means to help patients and families achieve a state of successful performance. Results describe the improvements in depression detection at a neutral or lower cost to the health plan. Recommendations are identified for building the business case for MHI quality in order to sustain improved outcomes and promote diffusion of the model outside of Intermountain Health Care (IHC) setting.

Mental health issues in primary care: implementing policies in practice
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2012
Publication Place: England
Abstract: Recent health policies highlight the important role that mental health contributes to our general wellbeing, and call for parity of esteem between physical and mental health. The bidirectional relationship between physical and mental health culminates in high prevalence rates of mental disorders in primary care settings. Despite these prevalence findings being known for some time, evidence would suggest that at times mental disorders are being overlooked. This article, set in context to policy, patient prevalence, practice and professional development, outlines a range of factors that can impede mental health delivery and proposes ways in which primary care nurses can strengthen their activity and involvement at various levels.

Mental health measurement among women veterans receiving co-located, collaborative care services
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2017
Publication Place: England
Abstract: Routine use of measurement to identify patient concerns and track treatment progress is critical to high quality patient care. This is particularly relevant to the Primary Care Behavioral Health model, where rapid symptom assessment and effective referral management are critical to sustaining population-based care. However, research suggests that women who receive treatment in co-located collaborative care settings utilizing the PCBH model are less likely to be assessed with standard measures than men in these settings. The current study utilized regional retrospective data obtained from the Veterans Health Administration's electronic medical record system to: (1) explore rates of mental health measurement for women receiving co-located collaborative care services (N = 1008); and (2) to identify predictors of mental health measurement in women veterans in these settings. Overall, only 8% of women had documentation of standard mental health measures. Measurement was predicted by diagnosis, facility size, length of care episode and care setting. Specifically, women diagnosed with depression were less likely than those with anxiety disorders to have standard mental health measurement documented. Several suggestions are offered to increase the quality of mental health care for women through regular use of measurement in integrated care settings.

Mental health problems of undocumented migrants (UMs) in The Netherlands: a qualitative exploration of help-seeking behaviour and experiences with primary care
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2014
Publication Place: England
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To explore health-seeking behaviour and experiences of undocumented migrants (UMs) in general practice in relation to mental health problems. DESIGN: Qualitative study using semistructured interviews and thematic analysis. PARTICIPANTS: 15 UMs in The Netherlands, varying in age, gender, country of origin and education; inclusion until theoretical saturation was reached. SETTING: 4 cities in The Netherlands. RESULTS: UMs consider mental health problems to be directly related to their precarious living conditions. For support, they refer to friends and religion first, the general practitioner (GP) is their last resort. Barriers for seeking help include taboo on mental health problems, lack of knowledge of and trust in GPs competencies regarding mental health and general barriers in accessing healthcare as an UM (lack of knowledge of the right to access healthcare, fear of prosecution, financial constraints and practical difficulties). Once access has been gained, satisfaction with care is high. This is primarily due to the attitude of the GPs and the effectiveness of the treatment. Reasons for dissatisfaction with GP care are an experienced lack of time, lack of personal attention and absence of physical examination. Expectations of the GP vary, medication for mental health problems is not necessarily seen as a good practice. CONCLUSIONS: UMs often see their precarious living conditions as an important determinant of their mental health; they do not easily seek help for mental health problems and various barriers hamper access to healthcare for them. Rather than for medication, UMs are looking for encouragement and support from their GP. We recommend that barriers experienced in seeking professional care are tackled at an institutional level as well as at the level of GP.

Mental health reform under policy mainstreaming: needed, but uncertain
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2014
Publication Place: England
Abstract: October 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's message to the US Congress on the need to reform mental healthcare. Much has changed in that time. In 2006, Frank and Glied summarized these changes and the forces behind them, finding that the well-being of people with mental illness was 'better but not well.' They also conclude that most improvements have been due to 'mainstreaming,' the inclusion of those with mental illness in broad reforms such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. With the gradual assimilation of mental health concerns, leadership and resources into mainstream programmes and agencies, future improvements will require that these programmes are accessible and oriented to people with mental illness. The passage of broad health reform legislation in 2010 (the Affordable Care Act) reinforces this change; several of its provisions attempt to make healthcare more relevant to the population with mental illness. In this editorial, I discuss a set of challenges which remain for the population with mental illness in the healthcare system, and the prospects for change. These challenges include: (1) improving basic mental healthcare in primary care, (2) improving mental healthcare for children, (3) earlier detection and treatment of psychotic illness, (4) disability and unemployment and (5) the challenge of sustaining an adequate, speciality public mental healthcare system under conditions of mainstreaming. In general, I conclude that the prospects for successful reform are uncertain. Establishing mental healthcare specialization in mainstream systems has not been notably successful to date.
