70Although IOC laws vary from State to State, they generally require <strong>in</strong>dividuals totake medication and comply with other outpatient treatment recommendations orrisk be<strong>in</strong>g placed <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>patient psychiatric hospitals. Currently, the requirements forIOC may be def<strong>in</strong>ed very loosely (e.g., diagnosis of a major mental disorder and ahistory of treatment noncompliance) or very tightly (e.g., imm<strong>in</strong>ent risk of dangerto self or others). Overall there is little standardization, and few specific guidel<strong>in</strong>es,for recommend<strong>in</strong>g IOC. Laws and procedures typically rely on past behavior as apredictor of future behavior, or on a subjective assessment of current communityfunction<strong>in</strong>g (Bazelon, 2007). IOC is a legal def<strong>in</strong>ition and may constra<strong>in</strong> decisionmak<strong>in</strong>gand self-care.However, the Institute of Medic<strong>in</strong>e (2006) did not view <strong>in</strong>voluntary or coerced treatmentas an absolute barrier to SDM, and concluded:The phenomenon of coercion, like the consequences of stigma anddiscrim<strong>in</strong>ation, has implications for the implementation of the QualityChasm rule of patients be<strong>in</strong>g able to exercise the degree of controlthey choose over health care decisions that affect them. Despitethese difficulties, however, the committee f<strong>in</strong>ds that the aim of patient-centeredcare applies equally to <strong>in</strong>dividuals with and withoutmental and substance use (M/SU) illnesses. To compensate for theobstacles presented by coercion, as well as those posed by stigmaand discrim<strong>in</strong>ation the committee f<strong>in</strong>ds that health care cl<strong>in</strong>icians,organizations, <strong>in</strong>surance plans, and Federal and State Governmentswill need to undertake specific actions to actively support all M/SUpatients’ decision-mak<strong>in</strong>g abilities and preferences, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g thoseof <strong>in</strong>dividuals who are coerced <strong>in</strong>to treatment (p. 112).The IOM went on to recommend:[T]he ways <strong>in</strong> which <strong>in</strong>dividuals perceive coercion vary and are <strong>in</strong>fluencedby the nature of the coercive process and the extent to whichpatients perceive those who are coercive as act<strong>in</strong>g out of concernfor them; treat<strong>in</strong>g them fairly, with respect, and without deception;giv<strong>in</strong>g them a chance to tell their side of the story and consider<strong>in</strong>gwhat they have to say about treatment decisions (Morley, F<strong>in</strong>ney,Monahan, & Floyd, 1996). In all circumstances, then, but especiallywhen negative pressures are be<strong>in</strong>g used, patients need to be affordedas much process as possible. Further, <strong>in</strong>dividuals who are coerced<strong>Shared</strong> <strong>Decision</strong>-<strong>Mak<strong>in</strong>g</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Mental</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Care</strong>:Practice, Research, and Future Directions
71<strong>in</strong>to treatment should still be <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> decision mak<strong>in</strong>g about thetypes of treatment to be used for their illness and <strong>in</strong> the choice ofprovider (p. 112).The IOM strongly recommended the provision of decision support to all <strong>in</strong>dividuals—regardlessof legal or commitment status—by provid<strong>in</strong>g them with <strong>in</strong>formation,avoid<strong>in</strong>g underm<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g their decision-mak<strong>in</strong>g abilities, and appreciat<strong>in</strong>g the chang<strong>in</strong>gnature of consumer decision-mak<strong>in</strong>g preferences. The IOM also recommended theuse of peer support services, especially for those <strong>in</strong>dividuals with impaired cognitionor dim<strong>in</strong>ished self-efficacy, as well as the use of advance directives.If <strong>in</strong>voluntary or coercive treatment does occur, understand<strong>in</strong>g and address<strong>in</strong>g thistreatment failure is essential. In the process, every effort at optimiz<strong>in</strong>g SDM shouldbe made. Accomplish<strong>in</strong>g this vision will require changes <strong>in</strong> provider attitudes andbehavior as well as systems processes, and the active provision of decision supportsregardless of diagnosis and/or legal status. Significant redesign of current systems,and the adoption of practices and processes consistent with these values and rules,will be needed to remove system-level barriers to SDM. This redesign is <strong>in</strong>tended toclearly identify the steps and processes necessary to provide services that meet theInstitute of Medic<strong>in</strong>e’s six quality goals of be<strong>in</strong>g person-centered, safe, timely, efficient,effective, and equitable, and to engage and support service users <strong>in</strong> mak<strong>in</strong>gshared decisions about their recovery goals, objectives, and preferences for servicesand supports.System RedesignHistorically, service delivery has largely been organized around provider and/or systemconcerns. Adm<strong>in</strong>istrative, regulatory, and payer demands, as well as professionalpriorities and traditions, have driven system design. Much of the organization ofcare has been based on traditional hierarchical relationships and provider authority.The result has often been far from person-centered care, or from support<strong>in</strong>g andpromot<strong>in</strong>g SDM.The service delivery system’s values, priorities, organization, and functions may allbe barriers to SDM. Significant redesign is required to create and susta<strong>in</strong> the resourcesand supports necessary for SDM. Wagner’s chronic care model (Bodenheimer etal., 2002) has become a well-accepted framework to guide system redesign <strong>in</strong> thegeneral health care sector, and proposes community roles as well as those of providersand consumers required to support SDM. Figure 1 illustrates how the modelcan be adapted to mental health care. The CalMEND framework was developed bythe California Institute for <strong>Mental</strong> <strong>Health</strong> (www.CalMEND.org) to promote person-centeredapproaches and SDM. The diagram depicts the centrality of productive<strong>in</strong>teractions—<strong>in</strong> essence, shared decisions—between consumers and providersas a key to realiz<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>dividuals’ recovery and wellness outcomes.
