Abstract:
IN BRIEF Patients with serious mental illness (SMI) have markedly higher mortality rates than those without SMI. A large portion of this disparity is explained by higher rates of diabetes and cardiovascular illness, highlighting the need for people with diabetes and SMI to have access to the highest quality diabetes care. This article applies principles of patient-centered diabetes care to those with SMI, exploring a novel approach to diabetes care embedded within a community mental health setting.
