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.
