Early identification is crucial in preventing poor patient outcomes; however, MH screening rates remain low.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Local problem<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>From July 2021\u2013January 2022, only 15% of adolescents in a paediatric tertiary care cSLE clinic were being screened for depression and anxiety. By November 2023, we aimed to increase the percentage of patients with cSLE (\u226512\u201318 years) screened for depression (Patient Health Questionnaire: PHQ-9) and anxiety (Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7: GAD-7) from 15% to 80%.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This quality improvement project employed the Model for Improvement framework. Stakeholders included the clinic team, patients and families, and MH providers. Statistical process control charts were used to analyse the outcome measure for percentage of screened patients with cSLE. Patient and caregiver satisfaction surveys were conducted at baseline and after screening as a balancing measure.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Interventions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>MH screening workflow with a referral algorithm was developed with stakeholders. Additional interventions included two MH training workshops for healthcare providers and a preclinic reminder of eligible patients for screening.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Over 21 months, 146 patients with cSLE completed 270 MH screens, increasing the screening rate from 15%, peaking at 100%, to a median of 56%. Sixty-six individuals (45%) reported symptoms of depression and\/or anxiety on their initial screen. Of 270 screens, 44 individuals (17%) reported moderate to severe symptoms meeting the screening workflow criteria for referral to a MH service; 10% of patients screened were referred and seen by the MH service within 2\u201312 weeks. Patients and caregivers reported satisfaction with the MH screening process and quality of MH follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Despite not sustainably meeting the target, MH screening rates increased in the cSLE clinic by nearly fourfold, demonstrating feasibility and acceptability.
