Multidisciplinary care In theory, mental health care is ideal as a collaborative one. Essentially, it is a multidisciplinary one. And most good hospitals has all the professionals required. In practice, it is all these professionals sitting in nearby cabins within the same hospital and doing individual work. There is no or minimal collaboration. There is no or minimal interaction. There is no or minimal integration. Just a bunch of professionals in the same place.

This week, we've explored the evolution of healthcare staffing for the next decade, referral programs and the transformative role AI can play in workforce management and why prioritising mental health needs to go beyond crisis mode.

📊 Assessing Patient Well-being in Clinical Trials: A Proactive Approach 📊 Healthcare professionals (HCPs) can assess patients’ well-being with the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). By prioritizing mental health in clinical trials, we can save more lives. How to find the C-SSRS: https://lnkd.in/gZ3iEQqZ   #PatientWellness #AssessmentTools #SuicidePrevention #ClinicalResearch #HumanSubjectProtection

Mental and physical health go hand-in-hand, and integrating behavioral health into primary care is proving to be transformative. By combining behavioral and physical health services, primary care can address these interconnected needs more effectively, leading to better overall patient outcomes. This integrated approach enables patients to access mental health screenings, therapy, and counseling alongside routine physical checkups, fostering a holistic care experience. Studies indicate that integrating behavioral health into primary care reduces emergency room visits and lowers healthcare costs over time. Additionally, it helps reduce stigma, making it easier for patients to seek help for mental health concerns in a familiar environment. Join us as we explore how this integration is bridging gaps in healthcare, enhancing accessibility to mental health resources, and supporting patients in achieving healthier, more balanced lives.

Returned a few days ago from a great conference by the Society for Implementation Research Collaboration. If you're into #implementationscience it's a great opportunity to meet people doing meaningful work in the field. Two takeaways: - The fishbowl method was a great tool for engaging diverse voices in a discussion on the gap between research and practice in IS. - The symposium on accessing digital mental health services shed light on an underappreciated factor that can spell success or failure in program implementation: procurement! It was a good reminder that, when designing public health interventions, we need to make sure that EVERYONE involved in making a program happen is represented. (And, it wouldn't kill us to learn more about contracting!)
