High-quality care in psychiatry is complex, encompassing efficacy, meaningfulness, and recovery. Effective treatment focuses on evidence-based practices that reduce symptoms and enhance the ability to engage in essential life activities. Dr. Kious emphasizes the distinction between traditional definitions of good care based on functional improvement and those that align with individual patient goals, which might not always prioritize symptom reduction. Additionally, he highlights the ethical implications of using AI in psychiatry, especially concerning the needs of vulnerable populations such as children.
High-quality care in psychiatry involves the efficacy and meaningfulness of treatment, with a focus on both symptom reduction and functional improvement for patients.
Good care is multifaceted; evidence-based treatment promotes symptom reduction while also pursuing the restoration of functional abilities impacted by mental illness.
The ethical use of AI in mental health care raises complex questions about its impact on patient outcomes and the responsibilities of practitioners.
In mental health care, patient goals may not always align with strict definitions of functional improvement or symptom reduction, complicating the understanding of quality care.
