Closing the mental health care gap
The National Academies Press (NAP) Quality Chasm series on American health care "documents the causes of the quality gap, identifies current practices that impede quality care, and explores how systems approaches can be used to implement change." Their recent title examines the characteristics of health care for mental and substance-use conditions: the fragmented delivery of services and associated barriers, and the serious consequences for the individuals and their communities. Included are discussions on the education, welfare, and justice systems, on benefit coverage, the regulatory issues, and health care organizations.
