Designing a Person-Centred Care Pathway for People with Depression in Primary Care

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health

Abstract

We created a person-centred care pathway for people with depression in a primary care team. An electronic form supported clinicians in assessing and documenting depression, accessing guidelines, making referrals and sharing the plan with the client. Assessment, documentation of depression, and referrals for cognitive behaviour therapy increased.

Résumé

Nous avons développé un parcours de soins centré sur la personne pour la gestion de la dépression par une équipe de soins primaires. Un formulaire électronique a été élaboré afin d’aider les cliniciens à évaluer et documenter les troubles de dépression, à accéder aux lignes directrices, à procéder à des références et à partager le plan de soins avec le client. Au final, nous avons observé une intensification des activités de documentation ainsi qu’une augmentation du nombre de clients évalués pour des troubles de dépression et référés à une thérapie cognitivo-comportementale.
