This article presents the results of a needs assessment of family physicians and residents concerning the provision of mental health care and an implementation evaluation of a multidisciplinary mental health service demonstration project, linking 2 family practices with mental health services of a general hospital. Family physicians and residents reported that collaborative mental health care provision would enhance but not replace their management of patients with mental health problems. The implementation evaluation found that collaborative care provided by a multidisciplinary mental health team co-located with family physicians was accepted by patients and valued by family physicians. Because of a shortage of family physicians, few patients from the mental health system who lacked family physicians were able to gain access to primary care through this project.

Background: Mental health service demands in Ontario often result in long wait times and a lack of access to specialized services. As a result, primary care providers are frequently required to provide mental health care for patients with complex diagnoses despite a lack of support or sufficient training. To address these issues, a shift toward collaborative models of mental health care delivery is occurring. Objective: This paper aims to assess whether evidence-based policy recommendations to improve collaborative mental health care are addressed in the recent Patients First documents. Methods: To achieve this, a qualitative analysis was conducted using NVivo10©. Results: While many of the evidence-based policy recommendations were mirrored in the Patients First documents, very few addressed collaborative mental health care directly. Implications: More research is required to fully understand the effects of the implementation of Patients First on mental health systems and services.
