False Positives

Depression: 2010 Update of Previous USPSTF Recommendation In 2002, the USPSTF recommended:

screening adults for depression in clinical practices that have systems in place to assure accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and follow-up.

The current recommendation:

staff-assisted depression care supports need to be in place. If such supports are not in place, the USPSTF does not recommend routine screening of adults.

Key Components

Care Manager

Linkage

Support/Systems

LESSONS Advantages

Better Patient Care

Lower Healthcare costs

Less provider stress (if systems are in place)

Enhanced provider learning and confidence

Step toward a PCMH model

Cautions

Screening without Systems.

Systems without Training, Staffing and Specialist Support.

Ease of Access/PCMH can become CMHC.

Less can be More (but not optimal).
