CMS Quality Initiatives: Behavioral Health Measures, 2014

What began in 2002 with the launch of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Nursing Home Quality Initiative, now involves as many as 22 separate CMS quality programs. The CMS quality initiatives touch nearly every aspect of the health care system, including behavioral health – currently there are over 900 (not mutually exclusive) quality measures in use across all programs. These 45 (or almost five percent) are specific to behavioral health, and include measures specific to major depressive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, substance abuse, and other conditions.
