Any pointers on clinical documentation of HCC 59

Hi, 
I was looking at the MDD documentation in the outpatient pocket book, I know that meeting criteria of MDD (3 A-C) & remission/episode/severity(all or one) are needed to capture this HCC, but wondering if there is a minimum that could be educated to hospitalists(group) in order for them to be comfortable documenting this diagnosis?
Maybe PHQ-9 in the ED?
OR
Just a couple of questions showing in partial remission?
I appreciate your comments..
