AMI Depression Resource Navigator

You are not alone, several cardiac rehabilitation centers have told us similar things; do any of these sound familiar?

• Depression doesn't seem to be that much of a problem with the patients who attend our facility.
• Our staff is spread very thin with existing tasks and it would be very difficult to initiate any new programs.
• Why should we be focusing on depression?
• Why use a depression screener anyway? The staff members at our facility know our patients well and know when a patient is depressed.
• Perhaps we might be able to begin screening within the next few months.
