Equity of Follow-Up Care Overall Rank: 91
Mental health follow-up rates (e.g., repeat visit after initial visit) across racial/ethnic groups.
Domain : Equity
Individuals get the care they need, without inappropriate bias based on their social status or other personal characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity or place of residence.
Additional Domain(s) : Continuity, Acceptability
Rationale
This indicator attempts to assess engagement in treatment of individuals from different racial/ethnic groups. Patients from minority racial/ethnic groups have been shown in some research studies to have lower utilisation and less satisfaction with health care compared with non-minority populations.
Reports describe how culture, ethnicity, language and age may impose barriers to mental health services. Efforts are underway in some areas to improve the cultural competence" of care.
Primary Reference
Richard Hermann, Soeren Mattke and the Members of the OECD Mental Health Care Panel. (October 2004).

Retreived July 31, 2006 from http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/28/32/33865630.pdf
Level of Evidence
III: Preliminary research evidence only or evidence based on consensus opinion only.

Summarized CommentsAdd Comment
  • I am uncertain about the availability or accuracy of data on patient's racial/ ethnic origin.
  • A very important indicator of quality of primary care.
  • Treatment goes first to those best able to self advocate due to many socio/ economic/ ethnic/ geographic reasons.
