    A new protocol for assessing geriatric depression management outcomes was feasible and acceptable in four clinics. This quality assurance approach can improve care for depressed patients and be adapted for other conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric medicine
    • Mental health outcomes research
    • Quality assurance in healthcare

    Background:

    • Depression is a significant concern in geriatric populations.
    • Effective management of geriatric depression requires robust outcome assessment.
    • Existing quality assurance methods may need adaptation for specific patient groups.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the application of a protocol for assessing medical care outcomes in geriatric depression management.
    • To evaluate the feasibility, practicality, and acceptability of this assessment protocol.
    • To explore the potential for adapting this quality assurance approach to other health conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a specific assessment protocol across four multispecialty group practice clinics.
