Transforming mental healthcare: the power of collaborative care

The Collaborative Care Model is one of the few integrated healthcare models with a substantial evidence base for its effectiveness. Developed at the University of Washington in the 1990s, over 90 randomised controlled trials and several meta-analyses show it is more effective than usual care for patients with co-morbid mental and physical conditions. This comprehensive framework represents a paradigm shift in psychiatric care by fostering integration, improving access, and focusing on patient-centred outcomes. Its proven benefits make it a compelling approach to addressing the growing demand for mental health services.
