| Guidance |
This eCQM is an episode-based measure. A suicide risk assessment should be performed at every visit for major depressive disorder during the measurement period.
In recognition of the growing use of integrated and team-based care, the diagnosis of depression and the assessment for suicide risk need not be performed by the same provider or clinician.
Suicide risk assessments completed via telehealth services can also meet numerator performance.
This measure is an episode-of-care measure; the level of analysis for this measure is every visit for major depressive disorder during the measurement period. For example, at every visit for MDD, the patient should have a suicide risk assessment.
Use of a standardized tool(s) or instrument(s) to assess suicide risk will meet numerator performance, so long as the minimum criteria noted above is evaluated. Standardized tools can be mapped to the concept "Intervention, Performed": "Suicide risk assessment (procedure)" included in the numerator logic below, as no individual suicide risk assessment tool or instrument would satisfy the requirements alone.
This version of the eCQM uses QDM version 5.5. Please refer to the eCQI resource center for more information on the QDM.
