CME Background

Articles are selected for credit designation based on an assessment of the educational needs of CME participants, with the purpose of providing readers with a curriculum of CME articles on a variety of topics throughout each volume. Activities are planned using a process that links identified needs with desired results.

CME Objective

After studying this article, you should be able to:

  • Use measurement-based care for patients with depressive disorders treated with pharmacotherapy

Statement of Need and Purpose

Treatment outcomes for depression are relatively poor in clinical practice, probably due in part to the lack of use of measurement-based care. Data collected over time with the same standardized assessment tools can help track which treatments help patients regain the ability to function at work and home, which treatments do not help, and which residual symptoms need to be targeted. Clinicians need education on how the implementation of routine monitoring strategies for depression may improve patient outcomes.
