Within the setting, which might be a community health centre or family medical practice, this would mean having an information system in place e.g. electronic medical record, evidence based practice, reo-orientation of services, self-care supports, as well as efforts to improve community health through involvement in policies that create supportive envioronments, address determinants of health and enable community devleopment.

'Depression' is a situational-based state of mind, not a 'chronic
disease'. Lumping it in with medical conditions such as diabetes is
ridiculous.
