Thank you for your inquiry on CMS2v12 - Preventative Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-up Plan. An APN is considered an eligible clinician and can therefore report on the measure. For CMS2v12, the intent of the measure is for each patient to be screened for depression (at least once a year) on the date of the encounter or up to 14 days prior AND receive documented follow-up care as appropriate. Since this measure is patient-based, and performance is not calculated based upon every qualifying encounter, if the measure is met at the most recent depression screening completed, the patient is considered to be in the numerator. The measure assesses the most recent depression screening completed either during the qualifying encounter or within the 14 calendar days prior to that encounter. In a shared EHR system, where data is aggregated, more than one provider could meet the measure requirements. It is expected that patient outcomes recorded or achieved by another provider can and should count towards another member of the care team provided they have the data that confirms the patient satisfies the numerator.
