    • Allow for an exception for patient refusal of treatment. This would be the same idea as the exception for one to refuse the screening.

    • When a patient is non compliant with treatment and refuses, providers are having a negative impact to the quality measure score.

      When a patient is screened for depression and determined positive but refuses treatment there is not an exclusion or exception. Is the intention for the provider to order treatment regardless of compliance by the patient? It seems this would be the only option for the provider to meet the measure. Or is this a scenario where a provider would not be able to meet the measure regardless of compliance?
