Pdf Summary

This document provides a summary of three case studies that demonstrate how collaborative care can be implemented in a typical practice. The first case focuses on the treatment of depression in a collaborative care setting. The team works together to develop an initial treatment plan for the patient, considering the biopsychosocial model and the patient's preferences. The care manager continues to provide psychoeducation and guidance to the patient, while the psychiatric consultant supports the team in delivering these approaches.<br /><br />The second case study examines the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder. The care manager provides psychoeducation and the primary care provider prescribes an antidepressant. The psychiatric consultant supports the team in developing a treatment plan and intensifying treatment if necessary.<br /><br />The third case study explores the treatment of bipolar disorder. The psychiatric consultant plays a more active role in the initial treatment of patients with bipolar disorder, providing support to the team in developing treatment plans. Clear, measurable treatment goals are established and the registry is used to track progress and ensure effective treatment. The psychiatric consultant also supports medication changes and outreach efforts to engage patients who are not responding to treatment.<br /><br />Overall, collaborative care involves the involvement of various healthcare professionals, including primary care providers, care managers, and psychiatric consultants, to provide comprehensive and integrated care to patients with mental health conditions. The document provides additional resources and readings for further information on treating depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder in primary care settings.
