      Thank you for your inquiry on CMS2v13 - 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.

    • If we identify PROMIS as a valid screening tool, more patients could possibly qualify in the numerator for measure CMS2v13 : Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-Up Plan

      Greetings, 

       

      We have a variety of screening tools that exist to assess depression. Our specialty groups prefer the PROMIS questionnaire over the PHQ. Would the PROMIS screening questionnaire count towards a depression screen?

       

      PROMIS is not listed in the tools below but the language states that the criteria "are not limited to" the list below. Please advise, thank you!
