Psychiatric Collaborative Care Management

The Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) is a specialized approach to integrated healthcare designed to address prevalent mental health issues like anxiety and depression, which often necessitate ongoing monitoring due to their chronic nature. Grounded in the best practices for managing chronic diseases, CoCM emphasizes a structured, patient-centered team approach, population-focused care, treatment that is guided by measurable outcomes, evidence-based practices, and accountability in care delivery. This model involves licensed medical providers from primary care or specialty practices, alongside integrated behavioral health professionals, who deliver evidence-supported medication and psychosocial interventions. Regular consultations with psychiatrists ensure that treatment plans can be modified for patients who are not showing the expected progress.
