 We have developed a collaborative care model for schizophrenia that builds on work in other disorders, and includes service delivery approaches that are known to be effective in schizophrenia. The model focuses on improving treatment through assertive care management, caregiver education and support, and standardized patient assessment with feedback of information to psychiatrists. This project, EQUIP Enhancing Quality Utilization In Psychosis is implementing collaborative care and evaluating its effectiveness in schizophrenia.
