This paper introduces clinical sociology as a humanistic, multidisciplinary specialty seeking to improve the quality of people's lives. It traces the emergence of clinical sociology in the United States in 1931, and in Australia in the late 1950s in the context of the pioneering clinical sociology research into social transformation at Australian society's margins by Neville Yeomans. A contemporary illustration is given demonstrating how a biopyschosocial model of health is now being implemented as world best-evidence-based practice within the Australian health care delivery system. Further arguments, citing national and international evidence based on sociotherapeutic models of intervention, support a proposal for the Australian Sociology Association to engage in dialogues with health care agencies with the view of establishing clinical sociologists as an integral part of the Australian health-care delivery system.

A method of detailed technological planning is described in which a subsystem of the total health care delivery system is identified, and the components within it created and integrated with one another. The components produced are termed a microplan, since they concern planning for technical detail.

A revolution is occurring in the private mental health care delivery system in the United States, marked by increased employer interest in how health care dollars are spent, new financial arrangements between payers and providers, and a reshaping of clinical practice to focus on efficacy and efficiency according to objective clinical care guidelines. Managed mental health care (MMHC) evolved from early management processes such as retroactive review into networks of providers in partnership with MMHC firms whose goal is to pursue effective management of benefits and care. Areas of cooperation and potential pitfalls of relationships between community' based agencies and MMHC entities are discussed.

The Impact

AbstractThe importance of interprofessional education and practice has been well documented for all health care disciplines. Our health care delivery system is challenged by the need to prepare health professions graduates with skills that get them ready to function as collaborative members of the health care team. Educators have long struggled to create interprofessional learning environments that would inculcate the needed values and competencies. The purpose of this article is to share one institution's path in developing an integrated context for learning across several disciplines to assure that graduates can fulfill their full professional roles in clinical care, education, advocacy, leadership, and quality improvement. Through a program called IMPACT Practice, the MGH Institute of Health Professions has developed an array of opportunities for students from different programs to interact with each other, emphasizing the collaborative skills that will benefit patients and clients as well as contribute to positive change within the health care system. These opportunities are based on core competencies developed by the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) as well as institutional core competencies that go beyond IPEC to address the full professional role. In the second part of this article, the IMPACT experience will be described through the journey of one student in the Communication Sciences and Disorders program.
