The Thorn Course: Rhetoric and reality
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2007
Publication Place: England
Abstract: The Thorn Course that provides psychosocial interventions and family work training for UK mental health professionals was founded in 1992. Since this time policy, service provision and needs have changed. The aim of this study was to examine the Thorn Course through relevant literature, in order to establish whether research and policy have been integrated into practice within training and services. A search of professional journal databases was conducted. Keywords used were 'Thorn Course' and 'psychosocial intervention training'. The resulting body of literature was reviewed. Five main themes emerged which were examined: needs identified, delivering the Thorn Course, training outcomes, implementing interventions and user and carer involvement. There is a distinct lack of research studies evaluating any aspect of the Thorn Course. There is little evidence that user and carer involvement has moved beyond rhetoric and community mental health nurses continue to lack opportunities and support to implement psychosocial skills acquired in training.

The Time Is Now: A Plan to Redesign Family Medicine Residency Education
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2022
Publication Place: United States
Abstract:
A new graduate medical education program in family medicine is urgently needed now. We propose an innovative plan to develop community-based, community-owned family medicine residency programs. The plan is founded on five guiding principles in which residencies will (1) transition to independent, community-owned organizations; (2) sustain comprehensiveness and generalism; (3) emphasize collaborative learning and interprofessional education; (4) develop local educators with national guidance; and (5) share resources, responsibilities, and learning. We describe actionable steps to begin the process of transforming residencies and strengthening primary care. As community-based and locally-run organizations, residencies will gain self-determination in how time is allocated, budgets are spent, and teams function. Building on the momentum of the National Academy of Medicine's 2021 primary care implementation plan and recommendations by family medicine organization leaders, we propose a Decade of Family Medicine Residency Transformation. We encourage individuals and organizations spanning disciplines, health care systems, and communities, to join forces to reimagine and recreate the preparation of outstanding personal physicians dedicated to individual and community health and well-being.

The training gap: An acute crisis in behavioral health education
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2002
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: Changes in health care have outpaced changes in the educational programs offered to the behavioral health workforce. The result is a training gap that leaves graduate students, working professionals, and other direct care providers inadequately prepared for practice in the current health care environment. This article is based on a keynote address delivered at the Annapolis Conference on Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training. Major changes in health care are reviewed, followed by a description of the training gap as an acute crisis that impedes the delivery of effective and efficient mental health and addiction services. The author describes a national initiative to narrow the training gap and he calls for collective action by the varied groups and organizations that have a stake in this agenda.

The Transformation of Behavioral Healthcare in New Mexico
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2014
Abstract: Since 1997, public-sector behavioral healthcare in New Mexico has remained under continual transition. We have conducted qualitative research to examine recent efforts in NM to establish a recovery-oriented behavioral healthcare system, focusing on comprehensive community support services, clinical homes, and core service agencies. We examine how decisions made in the outer context (e.g., the system level) shaped the implementation of each initiative within the inner context of service provision (e.g., provider agencies). We also clarify how sociopolitical factors, as exemplified in changes instituted by one gubernatorial administration and undone by its successor, can undermine implementation efforts and create crises within fragile behavioral healthcare systems. Finally, we discuss findings in relation to efforts to promote wraparound service planning and to establish medical home models under national healthcare reform.

The treatment of patients with medically unexplained physical symptoms in China: a study comparing expectations and treatment satisfaction in psychosomatic medicine, biomedicine, and traditional Chinese medicine
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2011
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Little is known about treatment for patients with medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) in China. This study investigates the treatment expectations and treatment satisfaction of patients with MUS in psychosomatic medicine, biomedicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). METHOD: In a cross-sectional survey, n = 96 (10.3%) out of 931 participating patients were screened positive for multiple somatoform symptoms. These patients answered questionnaires concerning symptom duration, number of doctor visits, functional impairment, emotional distress, treatment expectations, treatment satisfaction, and empathy in the consultation. The physicians filled in a questionnaire about applied or recommended treatment. RESULTS: Most of the patients from psychosomatic medicine wanted psychotherapy. In TCM, 55% of the patients had already received TCM treatment and most of them wanted to continue TCM treatment. Patients in biomedicine did not express clear expectations; most of them had had no previous treatment. A combination of treatment methods was most prevalent in biomedicine in comparison to psychosomatic medicine and TCM. The outcome from the patients' point of view was significantly better in TCM than in psychosomatic medicine and biomedicine. Psychosomatic medicine's strength was the empathetic physician-patient interaction. CONCLUSIONS: From a biopsychosocial perspective, these results suggest that various treatment approaches with various emphases can be effective depending on the patient's complaints, his illness beliefs, and what the physician offers. The results will be verified in a larger multicenter longitudinal study.

The triple aim: Care, health, and cost
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2008
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: Improving the U.S. health care system requires simultaneous pursuit of three aims: improving the experience of care, improving the health of populations, and reducing per capita costs of health care. Preconditions for this include the enrollment of an identified population, a commitment to universality for its members, and the existence of an organization (an "integrator") that accepts responsibility for all three aims for that population. The integrator's role includes at least five components: partnership with individuals and families, redesign of primary care, population health management, financial management, and macro system integration.

The TrueBlue model of collaborative care using practice nurses as case managers for depression alongside diabetes or heart disease: a randomised trial
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2013
Publication Place: England
Abstract: OBJECTIVES: To determine the effectiveness of collaborative care in reducing depression in primary care patients with diabetes or heart disease using practice nurses as case managers. DESIGN: A two-arm open randomised cluster trial with wait-list control for 6 months. The intervention was followed over 12 months. SETTING: Eleven Australian general practices, five randomly allocated to the intervention and six to the control. PARTICIPANTS: 400 primary care patients (206 intervention, 194 control) with depression and type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease or both. INTERVENTION: The practice nurse acted as a case manager identifying depression, reviewing pathology results, lifestyle risk factors and patient goals and priorities. Usual care continued in the controls. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: A five-point reduction in depression scores for patients with moderate-to-severe depression. Secondary outcome was improvements in physiological measures. RESULTS: Mean depression scores after 6 months of intervention for patients with moderate-to-severe depression decreased by 5.7+/-1.3 compared with 4.3+/-1.2 in control, a significant (p=0.012) difference. (The plus-minus is the 95% confidence range.) Intervention practices demonstrated adherence to treatment guidelines and intensification of treatment for depression, where exercise increased by 19%, referrals to exercise programmes by 16%, referrals to mental health workers (MHWs) by 7% and visits to MHWs by 17%. Control-practice exercise did not change, whereas referrals to exercise programmes dropped by 5% and visits to MHWs by 3%. Only referrals to MHW increased by 12%. Intervention improvements were sustained over 12 months, with a significant (p=0.015) decrease in 10-year cardiovascular disease risk from 27.4+/-3.4% to 24.8+/-3.8%. A review of patients indicated that the study's safety protocols were followed. CONCLUSIONS: TrueBlue participants showed significantly improved depression and treatment intensification, sustained over 12 months of intervention and reduced 10-year cardiovascular disease risk. Collaborative care using practice nurses appears to be an effective primary care intervention. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ACTRN12609000333213 (Australia and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry).
