Improving mental and physical health outcomes in general healthcare settings: a Gedenkschrift in honor of Wayne Katon, MD (1950–2015)
This special article pays tribute to Wayne Katon, MD (1950–2015) with a Gedenkschrift, or review, of his prolific academic career. Abstracts of all of Dr. Katon's Medline citations were reviewed to develop a narrative of his seminal epidemiological and interventional research findings. Specifically, we describe: (a) how Dr. Katon's clinical work and observational epidemiology and health services research informed and guided interventional studies; (b) the evolution of multidisciplinary interventional trials from primary care-based psychiatric consultation to primary care-based collaborative care for depression to multico...

Journeying with HIV Patients Across the Healthcare Spectrum – An Examination of a Seamless Model of HIV Psychiatry of a Large Urban General Hospital
Over the past several years, HIV/AIDS has become one of the most serious epidemics worldwide, with significant impact on mortality, morbidity, overall quality of life, and the use of health care services. While mortality from AIDS has been largely controlled in many countries through the availability of antiretroviral therapy (ART), several physical and neuropsychiatric complications remain serious concerns[1]. The care of persons living with HIV (PLHIV) is increasingly complex and demands an innovative model of care delivery involving multidisciplinary teams and interprofessional collaboration[2, 3].
