Effective strategies will likely draw from three areas of research. First are primary care interventions to improve treatment of geriatric depression through the use of structured treatment guidelines and care managers (32, 69). Second are comprehensive home-based interventions that target the full range of nursing and psychosocial needs in geriatric patients (62, 63, 70). Third are “telemedicine” strategies to facilitate clinical care for hard-to-reach populations, such as the rural and homebound (71).
