  • Title: Perspectives on the Practice of Collaborative Care: Topical Themes and Future Directions From the Lens of a Collaborative Care Child Psychiatrist.
    Author: Romba C.
    Journal: J Psychiatr Pract; 2024 Sep 01; 30(5):360-363. PubMed ID: 39357018.
    Abstract:
    The increasing shortage of psychiatrists in the workforce is a well-documented and alarming trend. In light of this workforce shortage, psychiatrists bear a professional and ethical responsibility to identify strategies to increase access to mental health treatment and thereby reduce the impact of the psychiatrist shortage on patients and on the greater health system. One such strategy is the collaborative care model (CoCM), which has demonstrated efficacy in the mental health treatment of both pediatric and adult populations. In this article, the CoCM is presented as one effective strategy to address the behavioral workforce shortage. Current themes observed from the clinical practice of psychiatric collaborative care in a pediatric collaborative care setting are discussed with contemplation of future directions.
