Integrated care to address the physical health needs of people with severe mental illness: a rapid review

Integrated care to address the physical health needs of people with severe mental illness: a rapid review

People with mental health conditions have a lower life expectancy and poorer physical health outcomes than the general population. Evidence suggests that this discrepancy is driven by a combination of clinical risk factors, socioeconomic factors and health system factors. The objective of this research was to explore current service provision and map the recent evidence on models of integrated care addressing the physical health needs of people with severe mental illness primarily within the mental health service setting.
