Story Behind the Curve
The percentage of emergency department (ED) visits for members 6 years of age and older with a principal diagnosis of mental illness, who had a follow up visit for mental illness. The Child Core Set asks states to report the rate for the subset of members 6-17 years of age (shown above).
Two rates are reported:
- The percentage of ED visits for which the member received follow-up within 7 days of the ED visit
- The percentage of ED visits for which the member received follow-up within 30 days of the ED visit
