Engaging Patients With Mental Disorders From the ED in Outpatient Care: A Comparative Effectiveness Workforce Study of Peer Specialist vs. Professional Care Managers
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Care Management for Mental Disorder. Completed, enrolled 326 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will compare the effectiveness of professional and peer care managers in improving linkage to and engagement in outpatient care after an emergency department (ED) discharge, as well as the mechanisms by which engagement occurs. The study will use a multi-site randomized trial study design across 8 EDs in South Carolina with telepsychiatry programs; each site will have one professional care manager (social worker or nurse) and one peer specialist care manager. Eligible subjects at each site will be randomized to a one-year treatment engagement intervention, the Coordination, Access, Referral and Evaluation (CARE) Program with either a peer or professional care manager, resulting in a total of 290 participants across sites. The CARE program will focus on shared decision-making between care managers and patients, and combines the traditional medical model of care management with a recovery-based approach.
