More than 11 million adults in the United States have a serious mental illness. Outcomes for these illnesses are good when appropriate treatments are received; however, rates of delivery and utilization of evidence-based care for this population are moderate to low. This article introduces SMI Adviser, a national initiative, supported by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, to advance the use of evidence-based practices and delivery of patient-centered care for the population with serious mental illness. SMI Adviser offers free technical assistance to clinicians caring for this population through accredited educational opportunities, vetted resources, and on-demand consultations.
美国有超过1100万成年人患有严重精神疾病。如果接受适当治疗，这些疾病的治疗效果良好；然而，针对这一人群的循证护理的提供率和利用率处于中等至较低水平。本文介绍了“严重精神疾病顾问”（SMI Adviser），这是一项由药物滥用和精神健康服务管理局支持的全国性倡议，旨在推广循证实践的应用，并为患有严重精神疾病的人群提供以患者为中心的护理。“严重精神疾病顾问”通过经认可的教育机会、经过审核的资源和按需咨询，为照顾这一人群的临床医生提供免费技术援助。
