      ​​Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS2v12: Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-Up Plan. Per the measure specification, a clinician must document: (1) the name of the age-appropriate standardized depression screening tool utilized, and (2) whether the results of the screening tool utilized were considered positive or negative. Therefore, the language "standardized tool" does not need to be explicitly documented in the medical record.

    • Need to know to determine how to configure our notes in the EMR

      In the measure specifications there is reference that the name of the age-appropriate standardized depression screening tool be documented in the medical record. Does it need to say "standardized tool" or is the name of the tool sufficient. We use PHQ9 and PHQ9A and it is labeled as such and renders into the note with the label of the tool. Does this suffice or do we actually have to document that it is a standardized tool?
