{"product_id":"2940148924920","title":"A National Agenda for Research in Collaborative Care","description":"At the AHRQ-funded Collaborative Care Research Network Research Development\u003cbr\u003eConference in Denver in October 2009, key national leaders took major steps toward establishing\u003cbr\u003ea research agenda for collaborative care among primary care and mental health clinicians. This\u003cbr\u003eset of three research papers represents the fruits of that meeting. The papers support and advance AHRQ’s\u003cbr\u003eportfolio of primary care research.\u003cbr\u003eThe Collaborative Care Research Network (CCRN), which convened the conference, is a subnetwork\u003cbr\u003eof the American Academy of Family Physicians National Research Network. CCRN was created\u003cbr\u003eso that clinicians from across the country can investigate how to make collaborative care work more\u003cbr\u003eeffectively. CCRN is one of the practice-based research networks of primary care clinicians and\u003cbr\u003epractices that work together to answer community-based health care questions and translate\u003cbr\u003eresearch findings into practice.\u003cbr\u003eThe authors (Miller, Kessler, and Peek) supplied the following orientation to these papers.\u003cbr\u003eThe papers describe the creation of a research agenda for collaborative care. This\u003cbr\u003eemerging field emphasizes the recognition and care of mental health problems in primary\u003cbr\u003ecare settings and the effective collaboration of primary care and mental health clinicians.\u003cbr\u003eCollaborative care is regarded as an important function of the patient-centered medical\u003cbr\u003ehome (PCMH), and one avenue toward achieving PCMH goals for health, patient\u003cbr\u003eexperience, and affordability. More research is needed to identify which particular\u003cbr\u003efunctions or components of mental health and primary care integration lead to improved\u003cbr\u003eoutcomes and add value in the PCMH. Such research will have clinical, system design,\u003cbr\u003eand policy implications.\u003cbr\u003eThis overview is intended to familiarize the reader with the interconnected purposes and\u003cbr\u003econcepts in the three papers and how to navigate them as a set.","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108909629680,"sku":"2940148924920","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148924920_p0.jpg?v=1763709914","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148924920","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
