Use of Treatment Algorithms for Depression
Treatment algorithms can help clinicians decide which treatment strategies to use.
The data are fairly consistent in showing that algorithms result in not just better response rates, but improved patient satisfaction as well.
An important factor may be that a care coordinator identifies patients who are not doing well and need to move to the next step in an algorithm.
A critical question is whether the better outcomes are related to the use of the care coordinator.
