Title: Leveraging Analytics to Expand the Screening of Depression in Teens
Description: Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), a pediatric healthcare system based in Orange, California, was acutely aware that the mental health crisis among teens was accelerating. CHOC recognized that while one in five teens have a diagnosable mental health condition, only one-third of those teens are diagnosed and treated. To identify mental health issues early and intervene to prevent severe manifestations, CHOC developed comprehensive mental health services and streamlined processes to improve the identification of depression among adolescent patients so it could further enhance the support and treatment offered. After implementing a general protocol of assessment, a standard screening tool and a data platform, CHOC was able to quickly identify patients’ risk levels and methodically intervene to achieve an 81 percent relative increase in depression screening rates for adolescent patients 1218 years old in a primary care setting and saw a 40 percent relative increase in depression screening rates for adolescent patients 12–18 years old across all clinics.
