      ​Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS2v11: Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-Up Plan. The measure is not prescriptive of provider workflow or who can administer or complete the depression screening (i.e., PHQ2 or PHQ9 ) tools. Per the measure specification, the provider must review and address the depression screening on the date of the encounter, and if positive, the eligible clinician would need to document a follow-up plan on the date of or up to two days after the date of the qualifying encounter.

      I am inquiring about specifications as to who can administer the PHQ9 screening tool for adults. Can the PHQ9 be completed by the patient and then entered into our electronic health record or does it have to be completed by a clinician? Are there any specifications as to who can administer the PHQ2-PHQ9 screening tools?
