1.3 Measure Description

The percentage of children screened for risk of developmental, behavioral and social delays using a standardized screening tool in the first three years of life. This is a measure of screening in the first three years of life that includes three, age-specific indicators assessing whether children are screened by 12 months of age, by 24 months of age and by 36 months of age.

        • 1.14 Numerator

          The numerator identifies children who were screened for risk of developmental, behavioral and social delays using a standardized tool. National recommendations call for children to be screened at the 9, 18, and 24- OR 30-month well visits to ensure periodic screening in the first, second, and third years of life. The measure is based on three, age-specific indicators.

          Numerator 2: Children in Denominator 2 who had screening for risk of developmental, behavioral and social delays using a standardized screening tool that was documented by their second birthday

          Numerator 3: Children in Denominator 3 who had screening for risk of developmental, behavioral and social delays using a standardized screening tool that was documented by their third birthday

          Numerator 4: Children in Denominator 4 who had screening for risk of developmental, behavioral and social delays using a standardized screening tool that was documented by their first, second or third birthday.
