Harmonized Outcome Measures for Depression

The harmonized outcome measures for depression were developed through a multistakeholder, consensus-based process in the prior project.1 This pilot project is the first practical implementation of the measures. The six measures selected for this project are presented in Table 1.

This pilot project will test the feasibility of calculating these measures using the standardized definitions developed under the prior project.2 For each measure, the standardized definition defines the initial population for measurement (e.g., all depression patients), the outcome focused population (patients who experienced the outcome of interest), and the data criteria and value sets. The purpose of the standardized definitions is to enable the measures to be extracted consistently from EHRs and other data sources. An example of a standardized definition is presented in Appendix A.
