Confronted with the inability to offer access to trained mental health personnel to their remote rural community, a private medical group practice in California recruited and integrated psychiatric social workers in their clinic. The rapid acceptance of these newer mental health professionals by community members of all economic levels and by group physicians confirms the success of this program, now in its fourth year, and rising community interest in mental health services. The group practice prototype affords a unique opportunity for innovation in community health care delivery in outlying areas with their traditional difficulties in attracting health care professionals.
面对无法为其偏远农村社区提供训练有素的心理健康专业人员的情况,加利福尼亚州的一个私人医疗集团诊所招募并将精神病社会工作者纳入其诊所。所有经济水平的社区成员以及集团医生对这些新的心理健康专业人员的迅速接受,证实了这个现已开展到第四年的项目的成功,以及社区对心理健康服务日益增长的兴趣。这种集团诊所模式为在吸引医疗保健专业人员存在传统困难的偏远地区创新社区医疗服务提供了独特机会。
