Alliant Quality, the Quality Innovation Network – Quality Improvement Organization (QIN-QIO) for North Carolina is recruiting primary care practitioners to improve identification of depression and alcohol use disorder in Medicare beneficiaries.
Seniors often have multiple medical problems and take many medications. Yet, symptoms of depression can masquerade as somatic complaints. This new assistance program can make patients safer by finding masked depression. Through these efforts, Alliant hopes to increase the annual screening rate for the identification of depression and alcohol use disorders. Learn more about the program and join.
