CMS82v6 - Maternal Depression Screening

Rationale:

Maternal Depression Screening. Maternal depression is a common condition with potentially serious and far-reaching consequences. Rates of depression for pregnant and/or postpartum women range from 12-15%, with postpartum depression rates in some U.S. areas estimated to be as high as 20% (Ko et al. 2017; Gaynes et al. 2005; Bennett et al. 2004). Depression has significant consequences for women, their infants and families. Women with untreated depression during pregnancy are at risk of developing severe postpartum depression and suicidality, and of delivering premature or low birthweight babies (Chan et al. 2014). Postpartum depression hinders infant attachment and bonding and can lead to developmental disorders that last into adolescence (Field 2010; Kingston et al. 2012; Dawson et al. 1999). During infancy, important caregiving activities such as breastfeeding, sleep, adherence to well-child visits and vaccine schedules can be compromised in depressed mothers (Kingston et al. 2012; Gregory et al. 2015; Minkovitz et al. 2005). Clinical guidelines recommend that maternal screenings for depression should occur where there are adequate systems in place (Sui et al. 2016; ACOG 2015; Yonkers et al. 2009). Adequate systems in place means having the appropriate systems and clinical staff to ensure that patients are screened and, if screened positive, are appropriately diagnosed and treated with evidence-based care or referred to a setting that can provide the necessary care (Sui et al. 2016). Guidelines also recommend that providers maintain regular follow-up with patients diagnosed with depression and use a standardized tool to track symptoms (Mitchell et al. 2013). Standardized instruments are useful in identifying meaningful change in clinical outcomes over time. Despite these clinical recommendations, maternal depression is often underdiagnosed and untreated. Nearly 60% of women with depressive symptoms do not receive a clinical diagnosis, and 50% of women with a diagnosis do not receive any treatment (Ko et al. 2012). This measure encourages clinicians to screen new mothers for depression.

Clinical Focus: Initial comprehensive preventive medical evaluation, including regular preventive care or care of small problem or preexisting condition that requires no extra work, for a patient that received prior outpatient professional services from the physician practice in the last 3 years.

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

Inclusion Criteria: Include only codes that indicate initial comprehensive preventive medical evaluation, including regular preventive care or care of small problem or preexisting condition that requires no extra work, for a patient that received prior outpatient professional services from the physician practice in the last 3 years.

Exclusion Criteria: Exclude codes that are not for comprehensive preventive medical evaluations and codes that are for patients who have not been seen in the last 3 years.
