CMS177v7 - Child and Adolescent Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): Suicide Risk Assessment

Rationale:

Child and Adolescent Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): Suicide Risk Assessment. Research has shown that patients with major depressive disorder are at a high risk for suicide attempts and completion - among the most significant and devastating sequelae of the disease. Suicide risk is a critical consideration in children and adolescents with MDD and an important aspect of care that should be assessed at each visit and subsequently managed to minimize that risk. Additionally, the importance of the assessments is underscored by research that indicates that many individuals who die by suicide do make contact with primary care providers and mental health services beforehand. More specifically, approximately 15% of suicide victims aged 35 years or younger had seen a mental health professional within 1 month of suicide while approximately 23% had seen a primary care provider within 1 month of suicide.

Data Elements

OfficeVisit1Performed

Clinical Focus: This value set identifies patients who have had an office or other outpatient visit.

Data Element Scope: This value set was intended to map to the QDM data type of encounter.

Inclusion Criteria: Includes comprehensive history, evaluation, and management of a patient in an office or outpatient facility. Patient can be presenting with problems that are minor to high severity.

Exclusion Criteria: Excludes non-office visits, including telehealth services.

Subject constrained to the Office Visit1

EncounterPerformed: Data elements that meet criteria using this datatype should document that the encounter indicated by the QDM category and its corresponding value set is in progress or has been completed. Timing: The Relevant Period addresses: startTime – The time the encounter began (admission time) stopTime – The time the encounter ended (discharge time). The Author dateTime addresses when an Encounter is documented. Documentation can occur at the beginning, during, at the end or subsequent to the end of an Encounter. The Author dateTime should be used only if the Relevant Period cannot be obtained. The Location Period is an attribute of the attribute facility location addresses: startTime = the time the patient arrived at the location; stopTime = the time the patient departed from the location

Exclusion Criteria: Under Development

Diagnoses: Coded diagnoses/problems addressed during the encounter. The diagnoses attribute is intended to capture ALL diagnoses, including principal diagnosis. Use of the Encounter, Performed: diagnoses attribute and the Diagnosis datatype is redundant for relating the diagnosis to the Encounter, Performed. The Encounter, Performed: diagnoses syntax is preferred. Referencing the same diagnosis using Encounter, Performed (diagnoses attribute) and Diagnosis (datatype) should only occur if the measure must define a specified length of a prevalence period, e.g., The measure must assure that the diagnoseis have been present for at least some defined time period before the encounter, and were addressed during the Encounter
