Research summary
We are developing a research program to investigate the benefits of an integrated Collaborative Care Model (CCM) approach to manage those with Bipolar Disorder. There have been a number of collaborative care models studied in mental health. They tend to have three key features in common 1) integration of mental health professionals into primary care settings 2) patient self management, 3) delivery system design that crosses organisational boundaries and includes clinical information systems. Here we plan to test the feasibility of using a shared electronic platform for the monitoring of mood as a means of promoting a CCM in the assessment and management of bipolar disorder. The aim is to assess the utility and acceptability of this approach to all stakeholders to inform the development of a comprehensive collaborative care model for bipolar disorder.
