Taking the Long View in an Inpatient Medical Unit: A Person-Centered, Integrated Team Approach for Patients With Severe Mental Illnesses.

Findings suggest that a specialized unit that capitalizes on this moment of engagement and uses a biopsychosocial model of care can improve utilization outcomes.
