NHPF Issue Brief. 2004 Oct 26(801):1-18.
This issue brief examines two issues that are key to meeting children's unmet needs for mental health care: ensuring that the provider supply is adequate and that the care delivered is effective. It describes the shortage of qualified providers to address children's mental disorders, as well its possible causes; it describes how managed care, to a certain extent, drives practice patterns; and it discusses the gray areas in deciding which providers are most qualified to deliver what care. In addition, this paper introduces what is known about evidence-based care in children's mental health, the extent to which it is being taught and practiced, the extent to which health plans are adopting such practices, and the effect such strategies may have on the makeup of the children's mental health provider field.
确保有足够的提供者供应以及所提供的护理是有效的。它描述了合格提供者在应对儿童精神障碍方面的短缺情况及其可能原因;描述了管理式护理在一定程度上如何推动实践模式;并讨论了在确定哪些提供者最有资格提供何种护理方面的灰色地带。此外,本文介绍了关于儿童心理健康循证护理的已知情况、其教学和实践的程度、健康计划采用此类实践的程度以及此类策略可能对儿童心理健康提供者领域的构成产生的影响。
