Quality of Care for Florida Nursing Home Residents With Serious Mental Illness

Individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) are more likely to experience preventable medical health issues, such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, than the general population. To further compound this issue, these individuals are less likely to seek preventative medical care. These factors result in higher usage of expensive emergency care, lower quality of care, and lower life expectancy. This manuscript presents literature that examines the health disparities this population experiences, and barriers to accessing primary care. Through the identification of these barriers, we recommend that the field of family medicine work in collaboration with the field of mental health to implement ‘reverse’ integrated care (RIC) systems, and provide primary care services in the mental health settings. By embedding primary care practitioners in mental health settings, where individuals with SMI are more likely to present for treatment, this population may receive treatment for somatic care by experts. This not only would improve the quality of care received by patients, but would also remove the burden of managing complex somatic care from providers trained in mental health. The rationale for this RIC system, as well as training and policy reforms, are discussed.

Serious mental illness (SMI) influences 3 % of the populace and incorporates handicapping types of despondency and uneasiness, just as maniacal issues, for example, bipolar and schizophrenia. Patients with schizophrenia were known to have a higher risk of complications during hospitalization. Quality of care has become the key factor in reducing their potential mortality afterwards. Patients with SMI were substantially less liable to have significant medical procedure, in the wake of controlling for age, other segment measures, and illness trouble. For patients of a similar age, sex, race and comorbidity status, having a previous genuine psychological instability passed on a significantly diminished probability of careful mediation. Clinical and careful hospitalizations for people with schizophrenia had in some measure double the chances of a few kinds of unfriendly occasions than those for people without schizophrenia. These antagonistic occasions were related with poor clinical and financial results during the emergency clinic confirmation. Endeavors to decrease these unfriendly occasions should turn into an examination need.
