Brief Summary
This study compares the effects of depression screening and case management to usual care in cardiology outpatients with documented evidence of coronary heart disease. Despite strong evidence that depression is a risk factor for cardiac events, there is insufficient evidence to support the use of depression screening in cardiac patients.

Study Arms (2)
Usual Care (UC)
NO INTERVENTIONPatients will receive only the care provided by their primary care physicians or other medical professionals outside of the study.
Collaborative Care (CC)
EXPERIMENTALPatients randomized to the Collaborate Care (CC) arm of this study will receive brief screening, consultative, and referral services. This collaborative approach includes the patient, the patient's PCP, the cardiologist, and the nurse case manager (NCM), using evidence based recommendations for depression treatment and follow-up care.
Interventions
No direct treatment will be offered. We will make treatment recommendations to the patient, PCP and cardiologist. Referral to mental health specialist is also possible, depending on need. The nurse case manager will monitor treatment progress and patient status for duration of the intervention period.
