Systematic Identification

This chapter describes how the collaborative care model can be used to integrate psychosocial care into cancer care. It also describes the evolution of, and evidence for, the collaborative care approach in cancer services. Collaborative care consists of systematic identification of need, integrated delivery of psychosocial care by care managers with specialist supervision, and the stepping up of care based on the systematic measurement of outcomes. Trials of this approach for the management of depression and pain in patients with cancer have found it to be feasible to deliver, effective in improving outcomes, and cost-effective. The chapter describes how to overcome patient, provider, and institutional challenges in providing psychosocial care in diverse oncology settings. It concludes by proposing practical steps for implementing and sustaining an integrated psychosocial oncology service based on the principles of collaborative care.
