Quality Measures

- The Depression Response measure is a patient-reported outcome measure that assesses the percentage of adult patients (18 years of age or older) who score >9 on the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), have a diagnosis of major depression or dysthymia and who demonstrate a response to treatment at approximately 12 months.
