Development and Pilot Testing of a Nurse Care Manager Role in Coordinated Specialty Care for Early Psychosis
Abstract
Coordinated specialty care (CSC) improves mental health and functional outcomes among individuals with first-episode psychosis but lacks a standardized approach to addressing chronic disease risk. The authors used community-based participatory intervention mapping with nine CSC teams to implement a nurse care manager role for the team in order to identify and address chronic disease risk factors. The role was piloted at one CSC site to explore its feasibility and acceptability. The nurse care manager role was highly acceptable to clients, team members, and leadership. More than one-quarter of the nurse’s time was spent on nonbillable activities, and lack of a clear plan for financial sustainability was the primary barrier to implementation.
