      Thank you for your inquiry on CMS2v12 - Preventative Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-up Plan.
      The measure does not dictate which tool must be used by clinicians when screening for depression, however, it must be a standardized depression screening tool. A Standardized Depression Screening Tool is a normalized and validated depression screening tool developed for the patient population in which it is being utilized.

      We would like to know if the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale satisfies the need for a depression screen for the CMS2 Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-Up Plan measure or if this is only considered a suicide risk screening and not a depression screening.
