Abstract

Depression rating scales may improve depressive symptom identification. At the project site, there was no consistent process for determining patients' depressive symptoms, so an evidence-based solution was sought. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to determine if the translation of Dunlop et al.'s research utilizing the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-6 (HAMD-6) would impact the rate of identification of depressive symptoms and referrals to psychology for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among adult patients.
