Abstract:
Improving the quality of care is a national priority in the United States; however, it is not clear how to accelerate progress for mental health care. We recommend advances in three capacities: (1) developing quality improvement resources applicable to a diverse set of mental health disorders, clients, and service settings; (2) improving the infrastructure for providing evidence-based psychotherapy and psychosocial interventions; and (3) promoting innovation in financial incentives for quality improvement in mental health care. We also discuss the need to develop leadership among health care stakeholders and community engagement to promote public commitment to high-quality care in mental health.
