A Roadmap for Institutionalizing Collaborative Care for Depression in a Large Integrated Healthcare System.

Background: Collaborative models for depression have not been widely adopted throughout the USA, possibly because there are no successful roadmaps for implementing these types of models.

Objective: To provide such a roadmap through a case study of the institutionalization of a depression care management (DCM) initiative for adult depression in a large healthcare system serving over 300,000 adults with depression.

Design: A retrospective observational program evaluation.
