Care Online Tool  Patient-directed, internet-based course in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (iCBT)
 Partners is launching depression module first; additional behavioral health modules to follow in the future
 Evidence-based tool developed by St. Vincent’s Hospital in Australia and validated by McLean
 Alternative resource (new “tool in the toolbox”) for treating low-moderate depression within primary care
 Can be used as a standalone treatment, a complement to other treatment, or when tapering off other treatment
Depression Module  One lesson per week takes six or more weeks
 Course includes illustrated comic strip storyline, lesson summaries, daily activities, and skills practice
 Psycho-education course content includes: behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, problem solving skills,
assertiveness training, and relapse prevention
Patient Eligibility  Adults - 18 years or older
 Low to moderate depression (PHQ-9 score of 5-19)
 Easy access to computer and internet, accessible by phone
 Not appropriate for patients with psychosis, active substance use disorder, bipolar (manic), or severe depression
Benefits  Conducted in the privacy of patient’s own home, on their own time, and at their own pace
 May be appealing to patients who are not receptive to face-to-face therapy
 Addresses barriers to traditional therapy, e.g. cost, shortage of specialists, waitlists, transportation, scheduling etc.
Staffing Model  Behavioral Health Support Specialist (BHSS) determines eligibility, explains program, and enrolls patient
 BHSS conducts brief weekly check-ins by phone to encourage course completion; no clinical treatment involved
 CBT expert psychologist provides ongoing clinical supervision to BHSS
Safety Monitoring  Patients respond to PHQ-9 via online survey presented at regular intervals throughout online course
 Electronic alerts sent to providers for occasions when patients exceed PHQ-9 threshold scores
Referrals/Questions  Primary care providers refer patients to the Behavioral Health Support Specialist assigned to their practice
