Optimizing neurocritical care follow-up through the integration of neuropsychology.
The authors proposed that integration of neuropsychology into neurocritical care follow-up provides incremental benefit to the identification and treatment of persisting complications and reduction in co-morbidities. Studying sixteen patients over six months, they found that integration of neuropsychology into follow-up care resulted in recommendations being made for services or concerns not already addressed. Parents reported high satisfaction, indicating that neuropsychological consultation improved their understanding and communication with their child, aiding them in knowing what to expect from their child during post-acute recovery. The authors conclude that these results indicate that integration of neuropsychology into neurocritical care follow-up programs contributes not only to parent satisfaction, but may provide incremental benefits to patient care.

Patient-centered medical home care for adolescents in need of mental health treatment.
The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) has emerged as an optimal primary care model for all youth; however, little is known about the extent to which adolescents in need of mental health (MH) treatment receive care consistent with the PCMH. This study assessed (1) 10-year trends in PCMH care among U.S. adolescents according to MH need and (2) variations in PCMH care and its subcomponents among adolescents with MH need, by individual and family characteristics.

Physician intervention to positive depression screens among adolescents in primary care.
The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of computer-based screening and physician feedback to guide adolescent depression management within primary care. The investigators found that when a computer-based decision support system algorithm focused on adolescent depression and was implemented in two primary care clinics, a majority of physicians utilized screening results to guide clinical care.
