title: Encouraging self-management in chronically ill patients with co-morbid symptoms of depression and anxiety: an emergency department study and response.
abstract: The complex interrelationship between depressive disorders and chronic disease has significant implications for both chronic disease management and the treatment of depression. In this article, the results of a mixed method, clinical data-mining (CDM) study ( Epstein, 2010 ) were combined with an original survey of Emergency Department staff, to design a program of intervention that targets patients with chronic illness, presenting to an Australian Acute-Care Hospital.
