Numerator

Adult patients (18 years of age or older) included in the denominator who have at least one standardized tool administered (PRO2000.4Y or GAD-7 value) and completed during a four-month measurement period. If positive (e.g., a score equal to or greater than 8 on the GAD-7), this suggests a probable anxiety diagnosis which requires documentation of an appropriate follow-up plan such as further evaluation or referral to treatment.

Denominator Exclusions

Are enrolled in hospice (PRO2000.1Y ) OR

Are unable to complete an anxiety measure due to cognitive deficit, visual deficit, motor deficit, language barrier, or low reading level, AND a suitable recorder (e.g., advocate) is not available (PRO2000.1Y)
