A collaborative primary and mental health care model with psychologist and psychiatrist working in GP practices: process evaluation of the implementation, challenges, and sustainability
The model was successfully implemented and viewed by participants as an improvement in healthcare delivery. For such a model to be sustained, however, adjustments must be made to align it with available resources, and reimbursements are needed for collaborative activities in GP practices. It also requires a recognition by funders and planners of the benefits of co-locating mental health specialists within GP practices.
