    RS2 - Piloting a New Population Health Measure for Depression Outcomes

    Tuesday, May 6, 2025
    1:30 PM – 2:30 PM ET
    Location: 113A
    The landscape of quality measurement for depression suffers from low reporting leading to low visibility of the improvements in patients’ behavioral healthcare outcomes. The existing depression measures face feasibility challenges, including restrictive follow-up windows and requirements that result in significant loss of valuable information. The uptake of the NCQA DRR measure has been limited. A HIE in New York in partnership with an eminent researcher and supported by National Council is working to test a proposed depression measure which is more aligned with measurement informed care.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Describe the shortcomings of existing measures in the current quality landscape for depression
    • Define the proposed depression measure and why should one care about depression measurement
    • Demonstrate the performance of proposed measure and describe the benefits for population health.
