Presentation Transcript
Agenda • Goal • Simplify computation of eMeasure • Reduce level of effort to comply with quality reporting requirements • Analysis of Standards, Tools, and Processes for Stage 2 MU Clinical Quality Measures (CQM) • In progress • Get direction for next steps
Goal: Strong MU eMeasure Ecosystem • Provide clear, and platform independent specifications • Simple to implement and comply with quality reporting requirement • Uses curated Value Sets based on HITSC recommendations • Integrates easily into vendor EHR
Analysis of CQM Standards • National Quality Forum (NQF) Quality Data Model (QDM) • For Syntax and semantics • HL7 Health Quality Measures Format (HQMF) • Enabling eMeasure development and execution • NQF Measure Authoring tool (MAT) • Usability • Maintenance (Versioning) • Certification of eMeasure • 113 NQF published eMeasure
Next Steps • Complete analysis and determine next steps for • QDM • HQMF • MAT • Determine transition/implementation strategy for using recommended value sets • Focus on Stage 2 MU quality measures while ensuring long term improvements are made to eMeasure ecosystem • How can we best leverage input from HITSC in this process?
