Summary: Depressive disorders are prevalent mental health conditions, with significant barriers to treatment access. This study examined differences in depression outcomes between younger and older adults in a large-scale implementation of the collaborative care model (CoCM). It found that CoCM led to significant improvement in depressive symptoms across different age groups, with older adults showing greater reduction in depression scores compared to younger adults.

Summary: The study examined the 3-year impacts of Lean implementation on the time taken for physicians to complete common clinical tasks. Results showed improvements in timely completion of 3 out of 4 common clinical tasks after Lean redesign, with sustained decreases over several years. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms by which Lean promotes quality improvement and effectiveness of care team workflows.

Summary: This study analyzed the association between PACIC scores and characteristics of primary care patients with depression and their general practitioners (GPs). The results showed that patient characteristics such as sex and age were not associated with PACIC scores, but the age of GPs was negatively associated with PACIC scores. The study concludes that PACIC is independent of patient and GP characteristics and can be used to assess patient perspectives on depression services in primary care.

Summary: Measurement-based care (MBC) involves collecting patient data through validated outcome scales to guide decision-making in clinical practice. Despite evidence supporting its effectiveness for depression, many clinicians have yet to adopt MBC due to barriers and challenges. Implementing MBC tools can improve outcomes for patients with depression in various practice settings.

Summary: This study describes a quality improvement initiative to increase depression screening in five Family Medicine clinics, resulting in a significant increase in the proportion of up-to-date patients from 61.03% in September 2020 to 82.33% in April 2021. Patients aged 65+ and patients with comorbidities were more likely to be up-to-date on screening. Patients with telemedicine visits had lower odds of being up-to-date on depression screening.

Summary: This study identified the barriers and enablers to implementing clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) recommendations in primary care. The findings suggest that policy-driven strategies should be developed to optimize resource allocation, promote integrated care models, establish well-coordinated multidisciplinary networks, increase technical support, encourage healthcare providers and patients' engagement, standardize guideline reporting, enhance education and training, and stimulate motivations to facilitate the uptake of CPGs recommendations in primary care.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the impact of asynchronous telepsychiatry (ATP) and synchronous telepsychiatry (STP) on clinical outcomes for primary care patients. Results showed that ATP did not outperform STP in clinician-rated primary outcomes, but both groups showed significant improvements in secondary outcomes. Dropout rates were higher than predicted.
