Missed opportunities to engage patients in collaborative care challenge program sustainability: a qualitative study.
The authors examined barriers and accompanying strategies to patient engagement in the context of collaborative care sustainability. They concluded that their research signals the need for improved patient engagement at the time of diagnosis and referral, and they suggested innovative areas for quality improvement in primary care settings, including e-handoffs, culturally-tailored preference-driven treatment, collaborative care vs. psychiatry referral algorithms, and community-based paraprofessionals.

Interventions to increase depression treatment initiation in primary care patients: a systematic review.
Researchers investigated interventions for increasing depression treatment initiation in primary care settings. They found that collaborative/integrated care, preference treatment matching, and case management strategies had the best evidence for improving depression treatment initiation, but none of the strategies had high strength of evidence. While primary care settings can consider using some of these strategies when referring depressed patients to treatment, their review highlights the need for further rigorous research in this area.
