Preparing a workforce of care coordinators to address patient mental health needs in the digital age: training and needs identification.
Previous research shows Care Coordinators (CCs) are frequently the primary point of contact for patients with medical health and mental health comorbidities in integrated healthcare settings, and they are less comfortable addressing mental health concerns than physical health concerns. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of training to support CCs' management of patient mental health needs prior to digital mental health intervention implementation. The researchers delivered a 1-hour training focused on the evaluation and management of depression and suicide-related thoughts and behaviors to CCs within a large healthcare system's Division of Ambulatory Care Coordination. Prior to and following the training CCs completed online surveys. The study found that training resulted in increased comfort working with clinical populations. including patients with suicide-related ideations and behaviors.

Do medical homes offer improved diabetes care for Medicaid enrollees with co-occurring schizophrenia?
The purpose of this study was to determine whether Medicaid recipients with co-occurring diabetes and schizophrenia that are medical-home-enrolled are more likely to receive guideline-concordant diabetes care than those who are not medical-home-enrolled, controlling for confounders. The study concluded that medical-home enrollment is generally associated with greater likelihood of receiving guideline-concordant diabetes care for Medicaid enrollees with diabetes and schizophrenia.
