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.
