ECHO-Chicago: Serious Mental Illness

February 6, 2019 to May 22, 2019
An estimated 526,000 adults in Illinois (5.4% of the adult population) had a serious mental illness (SMI) in 2012, which is higher than the national rate of 4%. For people with SMI, it carries significant rates of morbidity and mortality. It is estimated that people with SMI die about 25 years earlier than the general population and that 60% of this excess mortality is due to chronic conditions. Individuals with SMI experience significantly higher prevalence rates for chronic conditions including metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, chronic pulmonary disease, gastrointestinal disorders, chronic viral infections, and obesity. 
 
The goal of this curriculum is to provide community-based primary care providers in with advanced training, skills and knowledge to screen, diagnose, and manage serious mental illness (SMI) to improve overall well-being for patients living in Chicago who otherwise may have trouble accessing care for serious mental illness.
