Our Experience • Importance of our tweaked EHR (Allscripts) • Screening Issues • The Registry • Triage Issues
Our Statistics: Definitions • Positive PHQ-9 : score of > 10 • Response: 50% improvement in PHQ-9 score • Remission: PHQ-9 score of < 5 • Usual care: 20% of treated patients achieve a response. Source: Rush et. al.,Biological Psychiatry. 2004: 56(1): 46-53
Our Results PROTOCOL PATIENTS (N=33) 48% achieved response or remission
Non-Protocol Patients • 88 (73%) of patients with positive PHQ-9 did not enter the depression protocol • Reasons: 1. Depression comorbid with another disorder too complicated for primary care 2. Already under psychiatric care 3. Refused 4. Lost to follow-up
Future Issues for CCOC • Is response/remission in 48% good enough? • How to improve medication/psychotherapy adherence. • What are the characteristics of good community partners in terms of referral? • Can we improve our numbers in regard to patients accepting Impact Model care? • Can we improve the medical numbers?
