The Canadian Context• Country of over 35 million people• Second largest country in the world in total area• 80% of the population live in urban areas with most living within 150 kms of the United States border
• A demographic shift is occurring as the population is gradually aging
• Canada has one of the highest per capita immigration rates in the world which is leading to an increasingly diverse population
![Page 5: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Government and politics
• Canada is a federal parliamentary democracy
• It is comprised of 10 provinces and 3 territories
![Page 6: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

The Canadian Health Care System
• Publicly funded health care system, which is mostly free at the point of use
• Health care is administered separately by each of the 10 provinces
• In most provinces dental and vision care and medications are not covered except for the indigent and the elderly
• Of note psychological services are not covered
![Page 8: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Canadian Health Care System (Contd.)
•Family physicians are chosen by the individual patient
•85% of Canadians have a family physician
•Specialists can only be seen upon referral from the patient’s family physician or by an emergency physician
![Page 9: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Canadian Health Care System (Contd.)
• Most physicians are paid on a fee-for-service basis although this is gradually changing
• Hospital care is delivered by publicly funded hospitals
• Rising debts have recently led to cuts in government funding to the health care system, which has placed the system under stress
![Page 10: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
![Page 11: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Primary care reform
• Main objective is to improve patient access to primary care
• Leading to changes in the remuneration of family physicians (capitation vs. fee for service), and increase in after hours services and the introduction of quality incentives for preventive care and chronic disease management
• Often involves team-based care
![Page 12: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mental Health Treatment in Canada
• In the 19th century many asylums were built across the country to treat the mentally ill
• After WW II psychiatric institutions became overcrowded
• Beginning in the 1960s there began a trend to deinstitutionalization
• Unfortunately adequate community resources to address the needs of the deinstitutionalized patients not put in place
![Page 13: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mental illness and primary care
• Prevalence of mental illness in primary care is high
• Up to 25% of patients have a diagnosable mental disorder
• Family physician is usually the first and may be the only point of contact with a health care provider for individuals with a mental health disorder
![Page 14: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Mental illness and primary care
• Unfortunately most family physicians lack adequate training and do not feel prepared to deal with much of the mental illness they see
• Access to psychiatrists is often very difficult (may take months) and communication with specialist is often poor
• Access to psychotherapy resources (especially for those without private insurance) is poor as not covered by public health system
![Page 15: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Mental illness and primary care
• Psychiatric consultants report problems with poor communication and inadequate information from family physicians
• Also report reluctance on part of family physician to take responsibility for continuing mental health care of patients once they are stabilized
![Page 16: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Compounding factors
• Shortages of psychiatrists, especially in rural areas
• Recently more acutely mentally ill patients found in primary care due to shorter hospital stays (due to health care cuts) and greater emphasis on community-based care (due to deinstitutionalization)
![Page 17: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1997 CPA/CCFP Task Force
• In 1997 the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CCFP) and the Canadian Psychiatric Association (CPA) struck a task force which identified shared care as a possible solution to the need for increased collaboration between family physicians and psychiatrists
![Page 18: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Shared Care PrinciplesFamily physicians and psychiatrists are part of a single health care delivery system
The family physician has an enduring relationship with the patient which the psychiatrist should aim to support and strengthen
No single provider can be expected to provide all the necessary care a patient may require
![Page 20: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Shared Care Principles (contd.)
Professional relationships must be based on mutual respect and trust
The patient must be an active participant in this process
Models of shared care must be sensitive to the context in which such care takes place
![Page 21: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
3 strategies
1. Improve communication in the working relationship between a psychiatrist or psychiatric service and local family physicians
2. Establish liaison relationships
3. Bring psychiatrists or other mental health providers into the family physician’s office
![Page 22: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Since 1997
• Now use term “collaborative mental health care” instead of “shared care”
• Significant expansion in collaborative activities has occurred
• Collaborative mental health is now seen as an integral component of provincial and regional planning
• National conference established in 2004 and website introduced
![Page 23: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Royal College requirement
• Beginning in 2009 the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada mandated that residents their PGY IV or V year must do a minimum rotation of no less than 2 months in collaborative/shared care with family physicians, specialist physicians and other mental health professionals
![Page 25: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
However…
• Many of the mental health and addictions problems are still managed without the involvement of a psychiatrist or other mental health provider
• Shared care/collaborative care continues to be provided in a somewhat haphazard and “patchwork quilt” type of way dependent upon local funding and hampered often by systemic factors
![Page 26: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What is Collaborative Mental Health Care?
• “… care that is provided by providers from different specialties, disciplines, or sectors working together to offer complementary services and mutual support”
![Page 28: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Models of collaboration
• No single collaborative model or style of practice
• Any activity that involve mental health professionals and primary care providers working together to more effectively deliver the care they deliver can be collaborative
![Page 29: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Key components
• Effective communication• Consultation (MHP>PCP or PCP>MHP)• Coordination of care• Co-location• Integration of MHP and PCP within a single service or team
![Page 30: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Benefits of shared/collaborative care
Symptom improvementFunctional improvementReduced disability daysIncreased workplace tenureIncreased quality-adjusted life yearsIncreased compliance with medications
![Page 31: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What we have learned so far (contd)Benefits identified in youth, seniors, people with addictions and indigenous populations
Leads to reduction in health care costsMost significant benefits seen in depression and anxiety
Less evidence for patients with severe and persistent mental illness
![Page 32: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What does the research indicate are some of the ingredients of successful collaborative care models?
![Page 33: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Chronic Care Model
![Page 34: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Depression in Primary Care
• Although depression is often a recurrent condition and the prevalence of depression in primary care is high, detection, treatment and referral rates are low
• Moreover, even if treatment is initiated most patients do not receive adequate follow-up
![Page 35: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Why is this the case?
• Models of care usually focus on acute treatment with short, often unprepared appointments
• Rely on patient-initiated follow-up• Family physicians focus on those patients being seen, rather than an entire population of a practice, and often fail to provide appropriate follow-up and monitoring
![Page 36: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The Chronic Disease Model (CCM)
• In the later part of the 20th century researchers began to develop care models for the assessment and treatment of the chronically ill
• Edward H. Wagner, Director of the MacColl Institute for Healthcare Innovation and Director of the The Robert Wood Foundation national program “Improving Chronic Illness Care” developed the Chronic Care Model, or CCM
![Page 37: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Elements of the CCM
• System Design• Self-management support• Decision support• Information systems• Organizational change• Links with community resources
![Page 38: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

“Having the right service in the right place, at the right time delivered by the right person.”
![Page 41: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

1) Use of a care coordinator
![Page 45: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Care coordinator
• Based in chronic care model• Provides psychoeducation• Encourages healthy life style changes• May focus on behavioural activation and other “low intensity” type therapy for depressed patient
• Liaises with GP• Consults with psychiatrist when necessary
![Page 46: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Treatment algorithms
• Based on evidence based treatment guidelines
• May employ standardized outcome measure (e.g. PHQ-9) to assess response to treatment
• May involve standardized follow up• Should address when to refer for more specialized care
![Page 64: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Drop of ≥ 5 points from baseline Adequate No treatment change needed follow-up in 4 weeks
Drop of 2-4 points from baseline Probably adequate Possibly no treatment change needed.
Share PHQ-9 with psychological counselor
Drop of 1point or no change or increase
Inadequate If depression-specific psychological counseling (CBT,PST,IPT) discuss with therapist, consider adding antidepressant. For pt. satisfied with psychological counseling, consider starting antidepressant
For pts. Dissatisfied in other psychological counseling, review treatment options and preferences

Brief psychological therapies
• Most evidence for CBT either individually or in group format
• Evidence also for interpersonal therapy (IPT) and problem-solving therapy (PST) for depression in primary care
• Some collaborative models have therapy provided by care coordinator

![Page 72: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Physician skill enhancement
• Case-based discussion often well-received and helpful
• Address gap in clinical care with respect to use of evidenced-based guidelines
• Regular meetings between specialist and primary care physicians build trust and sense of collaboration in the learning process
![Page 73: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Vision for primary care• First point of contact for people with mental health and addiction problems
• Early detection• Early intervention for initial presentation and for emerging recurrence or relapse
• Monitoring and follow up once stabilized• Crisis management• Integration of physical and mental health care• Coordination of care• Support of family and other caregivers
![Page 74: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Vision for secondary and tertiary care system• Provide rapid access to consultation and advice including telephone advice
• Respond quickly to requests for assistance with urgent and emergent situations
• Prioritize people who cannot be managed within the primary care system
• Stabilize patient and then return care to primary care
• Provide information on community resources
![Page 75: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Achieving the vision• Requires changes in the training of family physicians to
support the early detection and treatment of mental illness based on chronic management principles
• Psychiatrists need to see consultation with family physicians as an integral part of their clinical activity
• Funders and policy-makers must recognize and support the role that primary care can play in an integrated system
• Academic departments of family medicine and psychiatry must prepare learners to work in this model of care
• Evaluation and research projects must be undertaken to see what initiatives work best
• CPA and CFPC must continue to promote this model

Shared care in mental illness: A rapid review to inform implementation*
Core ingredients of effective shared care models include:
1. Engagement of primary and specialist services towards common goal of improved mental health care
2. A coherent treatment model relating to the target condition/s or patient population
3. An agreed clinical pathway and monitoring of patient outcomes with the provision of case review by specialist personnel when needed

Shared care models in Canada
• No single model of shared care exists• A compendium of all existing shared arrangements in Canada was last done in 2006
• Many different models exist which reflect the system of care, funding mechanisms and local resources. Examples include:• Individual psychiatrists meeting monthly with a group of family
doctors and providing indirect consultation and teaching• Behavioural health consultant working with GP and psychiatrist
(collaborative care model) as seen in Calgary• Shared mental health care team integrated into a family health
team setting (Ottawa)

Shared care models in Canada (contd.)
• Tremendous variation between provinces• e.g. in BC much emphasis placed on training of GPs
and providing self-management material vs. Ontario where there little resources are directed to shared care
• Within a province significant there may be differences in amount of shared care activities undertaken e.g. in Ontario, Hamilton vs. Ottawa

Ottawa
• Nation’s capital• Population of 870,000 but part of a larger urban area (Ottawa-Gatineau) of about 1.3 million people
• Not clear the extent to which shared care/ collaborative care is being provided in the region
• Long wait times exist for psychiatric outpatient care

TIPP-TOE: Transfer into Primary Practice – The Ottawa Experience
• Study assessing the transfer of stable outpatient psychiatry patients to a multidisciplinary family health care team with access to TOH Shared Care team
• Possible benefits include access to a family physician, access to allied health professionals (e.g. dietician, pharmacist), and improved coordination of medical and psychiatric care
![Page 95: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Reflections on shared care
• Joys of teamwork• Respect for family physician colleagues• Benefits of rating scales• Benefits of working in a non-fee for service arrangement
• Appreciation for CBT
![Page 96: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Reflections on shared care(contd.)
• The “good, the bad and the ugly” of EMRs• Any change needs a “champion”• Benefit of technology in patient care and consultation with colleagues
• Need to “share” patients with others• Appreciation for what a system of care is
![Page 97: Shared Care in Canada](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5681593e550346895dc67c34/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
In Summary• In Canada there has been a gradual interest in, and development of shared care
• No single model of shared care in exists• Research supports the benefits of shared care in terms of outcomes and money saved
• The success of shared care is dependent upon the championing of its introduction and support from funding agencies
