Ambulatory Depression Screening Changes

The ambulatory Depression Screening will now present the entire PHQ-9 PHQ-A to be asked to the patient to screen for depression. The sidebar will present different options based on the patient's responses to the Depression Screening. If warranted, the screening for risk of suicide, using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, will cascade at the bottom based on the results of the PHQ 9/A.
