"Quality metrics" is an industry term regarding hitting certain benchmarks of care in a provider's patient population to measure "quality" of care by a provider or group. Payers measure providers for various reasons using well-defined protocols.
An example of a depression protocol is depression remission:
(1) Was an index test performed in prior year to identify depression
(2) Was a followup performed this year
(3) Does the followup test indicate depression has gone into remission.
There are various other measures for depression.
- zoozla 6y agoThe only thing I can currently measure in the app is the intensity of an emotional experience - before the process and after the process. I'm still compiling the stats, but I think the average reduction in intensity of the experience of e.g. apathy is about 40%. I really like the idea of incorporating a standard depression symptoms test into the app and then taking another test at a later stage to see the longer term change. It still won't be conclusive proof, but it would help.
