Depression and Coleman Care Transitions Intervention

Q4 · LAW

Article

Author: Fila, Susan ; Aronow, Harriet ; Sosna, Todd ; Martinez, Bibiana

The Coleman Care Transitions Intervention (CTI) is a "Patient Activation Model." Depression can be a barrier to activation and may challenge CTI. This study addressed whether CTI coaches modified the intervention for older adults who screened positive for depression. Over 4,500 clients in a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services demonstration completed screening for depression with the PHQ-9; one in five screened positive (score = 9+). Our findings suggest that coaches modified CTI and played a more directive role for clients who screened positive for depression, resulting in similar 30-day readmission rates among patients who screened positive for depression risk and those who did not. That finding stands in contrast to the widely reported higher readmission rates among people screening positive for depression.
