The relationship of community mental health centers to the professional standards review organizations program
Abstract
Given the realities of the professional standards review organization (PSRO) program and the necessity for accountability on the part of all health service providers, community mental health centers (CMHCs) should begin now to take an active role in planning their involvement in the PSRO program. The author points out the need for both psychiatrists and nonphysician professionals to become involved. There are many types of mental health services delivered in a given area, and the active involvement of CMHCs can be a major determinant of the shape and direction of this impact.
