The study will evaluate a unique natural experiment that aims to transform the primary care of patients with depression. The experiment's aim is to cause statewide implementation of an evidence-based care model for depression by changing the reimbursement system and by using an established regional collaborative (the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement) to both facilitate the model's widespread use and certify that medical groups have implemented it. Study hypotheses include the following:

The study will use a multiple baseline across settings with staggered implementation to test the effects of changed reimbursement and facilitated organizational change on the use and sustainability of evidenced-based care processes for patients with depression. The study will also test the effect of the care process changes on changes in depression symptoms, healthcare costs, and work productivity.
