Perspectives of Individuals With Serious Mental Illness on a Reverse-Colocated Care Model: A Qualitative Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Individuals with serious mental illness experience excess mortality related to general medical comorbidities. Reverse-integrated and reverse-colocated models of care have been proposed as a system-level solution. Such models integrate primary care services within behavioral health settings. Further understanding of consumer perspectives on these models is needed to ensure that models adequately engage consumers on the basis of their expressed needs. This qualitative study examined the perspectives of English- and Spanish-speaking individuals with serious mental illness on their current experience with the management of their medical care and on a hypothetical reverse-colocated care model.

Methods

Semistructured interviews were conducted in a purposive sample of 30
