Improving Depression Outcome by Patient-Centered Medical Management

What is it about?

Briefly, this review identifies four essential clinical tasks (engagement retention and adherence to treatment; treatment optimization through measurement-based care; functional restoration; and relapse mitigation or prevention), which evidence would suggest - if effectively addressed - will improve not only the quality of care but symptomatic and functional outcomes as well. The review raises questions about how to develop methods to accomplish these essential clinical tasks and illustrates with examples how several might be approached. The review emphasizes the importance of the delivery of care in determining the benefits to patients.
