Practicing Shared Decision Making in the Outpatient Psychiatric Care of Adults with Severe Mental Illnesses: Redesigning Care for the Future

Authors: William C. Torrey, Robert E. Drake

Published in: Community Mental Health Journal | Issue 5/2010

Abstract

Psychiatrist outpatient office visits have the potential to support the recovery of adults with severe mental illnesses by engaging them in a collaborative process of evaluating, selecting, and trying individually-tailored therapeutic options. Evidence-informed shared decision making is difficult for psychiatrists to offer within the framework of care as it is delivered today: it requires time, easy access to relevant scientific information, and extensive communication between patients and psychiatrists. In this paper, we describe the current structural obstacles to collaborative psychiatric care and envision a redesigned office visit process that facilitates active informed patient involvement.
