For the depression screening metric (in eCQM/MIPS CQM and Medicare CQM), we would like to inquire if the PHQ8 is acceptable. Please see an article that references that the PHQ8 is not statistically different from a PHQ9 screening (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6504773/pdf/pi-2019-02-01.pdf).
