Guideline-Concordant Care and Clinician and Clinic Characteristics for Patients With Schizophrenia
In this cross-sectional study, guideline-concordant care was similar for patients of psychiatric APPs, mental health clinics, and psychiatrists, but patients of PCPs were less likely to receive psychosocial or psychotherapy services, although higher schizophrenia caseload intensity may mitigate this gap. Strategies to improve care across specialties are needed because overall rates remain low.
