Nancy M. Shea, Linda McBride, Christopher Gavin, and Mark Bauer
In an Veterans Administration (VA) ambulatory psychiatric practice in Providence, RI Shea, McBride, Gavin, and Bauer (1987) used Orlando’s theoretical model with patients (N = 76) having a bipolar disorder. Their research results indicate that there were: higher patient retention, reduction of emergency services, decreased hospital stay, and increased satisfaction. They recommended its use throughout the VA system. Currently Orlando’s model is being used in a multi-million dollar research study of patients with a bipolar disorder at 12 sites in the VA system (McBride, Telephone interview, July, 2000).
McBride and colleagues continue its use in practice and research at the Veteran Administration Hospital in Providence, RI.
