Purpose

The goal of this package is to simplify the process for calculating CCBHC measurements for all CCBHCs. It does this by taking in all the relevant data for a measurement and outputing whether the data meets the measurements' criteria. Here's the DEP-REM-6 as an example:

1. Data Processing

Our code is simple:

1. Import the Measurement you want to calculate.
2. Give it the required data (downloaded excel reports from your EHR, query data from SQL, or whatever)
3. Run get_all_submeasures(). Under the hood, get_all_submeasures() determines which data meets the Measurments criteria and which does not.
4. Export your data to your preferred tool for analysis. If you want to keep it in pandas, you already have it. If you want to use Excel, or Power BI, you can export it there as well!

2. Dashboard Display

We've also created a base Power BI file as a foundation for a dashboard. Check out the dashboard folder here.

At the moment we only have these Measurements, but we plan on releasing a new Measurement every two weeks.

Code Demonstration

This is a basic demonstration for the Dep-Rem-6 Measurement, see here for more in depth demonstrations

import pandas as pd
import ccbhc_measurements as ccbhc

- Step 1: Load in the data into Pandas Dataframes

all_inclusive_excel_file = r"../file/path/to/Dep Rem Data.xlsx"
phq_data = pd.read_xlsx(all_inclusive_excel_file, sheet_name = "phq9")
diagnosis_data = pd.read_xlsx(all_inclusive_excel_file, sheet_name = "diagnosis")
demographic_data = pd.read_xlsx(all_inclusive_excel_file, sheet_name = "demographic")
insurance_data = pd.read_xlsx(all_inclusive_excel_file, sheet_name = "insurance")

- Step 2: Ensure that the dataframes follows the correct schema

Dep Rem 6 Required Data Input and Output Diagram

phq_data = phq_data[["patient_id","patient_DOB","encounter_id","encounter_datetime","total_score"]].copy()
diagnosis_data = diagnosis_data[["patient_id","encounter_datetime","diagnosis"]].copy()
demographic_data = demographic_data[["patient_id","race","ethnicity"]].copy()
insurance_data = insurance_data[["patient_id","insurance","start_datetime","end_datetime"]].copy()

- Step 3: Calculate Dep-Rem

submeasure_data = [phq_data,diagnosis_data,demographic_data,insurance_data]
measure = ccbhc.Dep_Rem(submeasure_data)
results = measure.get_all_submeasures()
for name, data in results.items():
    data.to_excel(name+".xlsx", index=False)

Example Data Output:

patient_id	patient_measurement_year_id	encounter_id	age	medicaid	numerator	numerator_reason
1	1-2024	1	18+	FALSE	TRUE	Has Remission
2	1-2025	3	18+	FALSE	FALSE	Remission Period not Reached
3	3-2024	4	18+	FALSE	FALSE	No PHQ-9 Follow Up
4	4-2024	5	18+	FALSE	FALSE	No Remission

- Step 4: Create a Dashboard in Power BI (Optional)

We've created an example dashboard in Power BI for easy implementation but feel free to use the analysis tool of your choice. Feel free to download it from the dashboard folder.
