We are writing to make you aware of an important update regarding the Electronic Clinical Quality Measure (eCQM) CMS2v13: Depression Screening and Follow-Up Plan. Please disregard this communication if your practice does not use eCQM CMS2v13.
Recently, we became aware of an issue that may prevent Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ9) screening timestamps for eCQM CMS2v13 from aligning with the correct performance period during which the screening was conducted. Please note that this issue is unrelated to the previously identified issue which was resolved with a system update on Sunday, March 23, 2025. This weekend’s upgrade to gGastro v.6.4 on Sunday, April 6, 2025, from 12:01 AM – 8:00 AM Eastern Time (ET), will include an important fix to the logic of eCQM CMS2v13.
