PY - 2016 T2 - Depression in Medical Illness AB - Screening, comprehensive assessment, and effective treatments are necessary but not sufficient to adequately treat individuals with depression. They must be paired with effective and efficient systems for delivering the care. Implementation strategies designed to identify, evaluate, and treat patients wherever they present while seamlessly coordinating their care with other members of the health care team is the challenge. Teams of experts who can communicate with each other and coordinate their therapeutic efforts are essential. Furthermore, a population-based orientation is necessary in order to design systems that are scalable and affordable. Incorporating disease registries allows for efficient monitoring and maximizing patient adherence and optimizing treatment outcomes.1 This requires the use of computerized technologies to enable tracking and monitoring of symptoms, functioning, and satisfaction over time. Computerized treatment also provides greater access by removing the physical barrier to care and thereby enhancing patient engagement in their care.
