The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was passed in
March 2010, includes provisions to expand the scope of mental
health care available to most Americans. What do psychiatrists need
to know about the provisions of the health reform law to practice
most effectively and best serve their patients? Health Care Reform:
A Primer for Psychiatrists is a compilation of resources designed
to educate psychiatrists and other mental health professionals
about key elements of the reform law. At its core are three
articles from a special section on health reform that appeared in
the November 2010 issue of Psychiatric Services. Each article
addresses a key question for the organization and financing of
mental health and substance abuse care under health care reform:
• How should states set up their health exchanges to ensure that
the needs of people with mental illness are addressed? • Will
coverage of mental health services be adequate under the law's
provisions? • Can integration of mental and physical health
care—a particular focus of health reform—improve the quality
and efficiency of care for people with mental illness? This book
also provides a list of additional readings, with links to the
source documents. These include "backgrounder" articles published
in Psychiatric News, analyses and commentaries from the American
Journal of Psychiatry and Psychiatric Services, and white papers
and other useful documents compiled by staff of the APA Department
of Government Relations.
