Ongoing Improvements to Early Psychosis Research and Treatment
Research has shown that treatment of early psychosis improves clinical outcomes. In 2018, the Early Psychosis Intervention Network (EPINET) was established with the aim of conducting practice-oriented research to develop high quality care for treatment of first-episode psychosis (FEP). Currently, eight regional networks function through a learning health care (LHC) framework with diverse stakeholders, a research hub, and coordinated specialty care (CSC) programs. A national repository has also been created for collaboration in developing evidence-based practices, standardizing data collection, and producing assessments to inform policy. Researchers express interest in expanding access to LHC resources to non-EPINET CSC programs and working with international partners. To learn more, see the article in Psychiatric Services. -
