A National Agenda for Research in Collaborative Care

A National Agenda for Research in Collaborative Care:

A National Agenda for Research in Collaborative Care
Papers from the Collaborative Care Research Network Research Development Conference

This collection of three research papers represents the fruits of the AHRQ-funded Collaborative Care Research Network Research Development Conference in Denver in October 2009. At the meeting, participants took steps toward establishing a research agenda for collaborative care among primary care and mental health clinicians.

Collaborative care emphasizes the recognition and care of mental health problems in primary care settings and the effective collaboration of primary care and mental health clinicians. Collaborative care is regarded as an important function of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH), and one avenue toward achieving PCMH goals for health, patient experience, and affordability.

The three papers are:

* Establishing a Research Agenda for Collaborative Care (Miller, Kessler, and Peek).
* A Framework for Collaborative Care Metrics (Kessler and Miller).
* A Collaborative Care Lexicon for Asking Practice and Research Development Questions (Peek).
