Responding to distress in cancer care: Increasing access to psycho oncology services through integrated collaborative care

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Findings from this study suggest that the successful initiation of a collaborative care model within a comprehensive cancer center contributed to significantly greater referral rates of cancer patients with moderate to high distress to psycho-oncology services. This study contributes to the growing consensus that collaborative care models can positively impact the care of complex medical patients.
