SCAN Health Plan
This program is based on a collaborative model between the patient, primary care physician, a depression care manager (RN or LCSW), a designated psychiatrist (mainly as a consult resource for the care manager and PCP). This is an evidence-based depression care program developed at the University of Washington piloted in the Kaiser system and promoted by SCAN Health Plan. Outcomes are measured and care is deployed based on clinical outcomes according to an evidence-based algorithm.
