Abstract

Purpose To evaluate the added value of somatic screening for patients with severe mental illness over regular care. Design and Methods We compared the information on somatic health problems collected by screening with the general practitioner ( GP) files ( n = 118). Findings The mean number of somatic health problems detected with somatic health screening was significantly higher than those noted in GP records ( p < .01). Practice Implications Somatic health screening is an addition to the care provided by the GP. Advanced mental health nurses can play a key role in somatic health screening and initiating further cooperation and communication of GP and mental health care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
