Programs for Care System Transitions in Mental Health: A Systemic Review

Abstract

Care transitions are a common feature of health care, but most occur within a single health care system. However, patients can also face transitions between systems when they experience life events such as a new job, a change in insurance providers, or a move between locations. These transitions can be especially complicated when patients leave an integrated health care system such as the Military Health System (MHS) and are required to manage their own care until they enter a new system. Navigating these transitions can be especially important for patients who need regular care, such as those with mental health conditions. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to summarize the evidence on interventions that are intended to improve health care system transitions for patients with mental health conditions.
