People with serious mental illness (SMI) have a 2–3-fold higher mortality than the general population, much of which is driven by largely preventable cardiovascular disease. One contributory factor is the disconnect between the behavioral and physical health care systems. New care models have sought to integrate physical health care into primary mental health care settings. However, few examples of successful care coordination interventions to improve health outcomes with the SMI population exist. In this paper, we examine challenges faced in coordinating care for people with SMI and explore pragmatic, multi-disciplinary strategies for overcoming these challenges used in a cardiovascular risk reduction intervention shown to be effective in a clinical trial.
