Employers • Coordination Infrastructure • Function-First Outcomes
Workforce mental health needs coordination, not more referrals
Shared care plans provide a reliable way to coordinate complex mental health care across providers—while preserving clinical independence and employee privacy. Employers gain clarity, accountability, and function-focused outcomes.
The systems problem employers experience
Most employer-supported pathways involve multiple providers across different clinics and systems. Without a shared plan, updates are invisible across providers, responsibilities blur, and outcomes drift. Employers often receive activity without clarity.
What a shared care plan is (in employer terms)
A shared care plan is not a medical record. It is a coordination summary that aligns the care team on goals, roles, responsibilities, review cadence, and escalation pathways—so care remains coherent even when providers work in different clinics.
- Single source of truth for care planning
- Role clarity and accountability across providers
- Function-focused goals and practical outcomes
- Reduced duplication and stalled cases
- Scalable across complex cases and locations
Employer-relevant outcomes
Operational reliability
Fewer stalled cases, clearer next steps, and reduced disruption from prolonged or cycling leave.
Governance and boundaries
Clear separation between employer enablement and clinical decision-making, with privacy-safe collaboration.
Scalability
Consistent pathways that work across sites and teams, not dependent on informal updates or individual heroics.
Function-first focus
Support that targets sustainable performance, capacity clarity, and functional recovery—not just activity.
How it works
Define the pathway and boundaries
Clarify roles, communication routes, and privacy-safe boundaries for employer-enabled support.
Implement shared care planning
Align goals, responsibilities, measures, and escalation pathways so the plan stays unified across providers.
Coordinate supports around function
Synchronise clinical and functional supports to reduce operational drag and improve sustainability at work.
Review and improve
Use defined cadence and practical measures to keep outcomes predictable and cases moving.
Privacy and boundaries
Employer involvement must be privacy-safe and clinically appropriate. Shared care planning supports coordination without unnecessary disclosure of personal health information.
Build a reliable pathway for complex workforce mental health cases
Fragmented care creates unpredictable outcomes. Shared care plans make workforce mental health more reliable by strengthening coordination, accountability, and function-focused outcomes.
