That's really an appropriate question and I thank you for asking it.
There are a couple of things I have to add to Michel's comments. Number one, the indicators are based a lot of times on billing codes, which differ from province to province. Doctors bill in different codes across different provinces. There are some really successful programs that have been implemented in certain provinces. Take B.C., for instance. Physicians have new billing codes to provide additional services and follow-ups for people who are working through mental health issues. They are able to bill the provincial government to make extra phone calls and to have extra meetings with the patients and stuff. That has seen some really good outcomes.
The provinces and the federal government need to work together on the outcome indicators across Canada to make sure they're appropriate and even across the country.
Another thing that I would like to add is that people with mental health issues, and their families and caregivers, need to be involved in all aspects of health care delivery. People with mental illness want to be part of their wellness plan. They want to be as involved as any other medical professional, because they have the vested interest in it. So, I strongly encourage, in whatever way, shape, or form, that the people with lived experience of mental illness, or families and caregivers, be engaged and included in decision-making processes, but also in the research and recording structure.
