Abstract
Individuals with serious mental illnesses and poorly managed medical conditions known as serious medical-psychiatric illnesses (SMPIs) are vulnerable to disruptions in care, resulting in poor outcomes. Intensive integrated care management approaches are indicated when these individuals are hospitalized on medical-surgical inpatient units in order to ensure continuity of medical and psychiatric services. This column describes a manualized intervention for hospitalized individuals with SMPIs that was developed in a National Institute of Mental Health ALACRITY research center. The approach uses a critical time intervention model incorporating motivational interviewing and shared decision making to maximize engagement and continuity of care for individuals with SMPIs.
