In 1970, a private medical group practice serving a large rural area introduced pyschiatric social workers in an integrated clinic to provide accessible mental health services to all economic levels in the community. Public acceptance confirmed the demand. The rapidity with which other community mental health needs were subsequently recognized in the area, service instituted, and community funds and manpower mobilized to develop new community programs documents the rising awareness of health care needs in traditionally conservative rural areas. The acceptance by community members and physicians of psychiatric social workers as members of the health care team suggests the desirability of the group practice clinic for the introduction of nonphysician mental health care professionals. The unique position of the medical group practice for innovation in community health care delivery in outlying areas is evident.
1970年,一家服务于广大农村地区的私人医疗集团诊所,在综合诊所引入了精神科社会工作者,以便为社区内所有经济阶层提供便捷的心理健康服务。公众的接受证实了这一需求。该地区随后迅速认识到其他社区心理健康需求,设立了相关服务,并调动社区资金和人力来开展新的社区项目,这证明了传统保守农村地区对医疗保健需求的认识正在不断提高。社区成员和医生接受精神科社会工作者作为医疗团队成员,这表明集团诊所适合引入非医生心理健康护理专业人员。医疗集团诊所在偏远地区社区医疗服务创新方面的独特地位显而易见。
