      Positive screening results should lead to additional assessment. The specification defines Follow-Up Plan as including one of the following:

      * Additional evaluation for depression
      * Suicide Risk Assessment
      * Referral to a practitioner who is qualified to diagnose and treat depression
      * Pharmacological interventions
      * Other interventions or follow-up for the diagnosis or treatment of depression

      Additional evaluation for depression may include further screening using a different tool, therefore your scenario is appropriate to qualify as a follow-up.

      We are using PHQ-2 as the screening tool for this measure. A "positive" screen is a score of 3 or above. Does completing the PHQ-9 on the same day as the positive screen qualify as follow-up?
