BLUES project list of refined metrics
- Description:A list of clinical outcome and process measures chosen for an AHRQ study examining diabetes.
The overall objective of this study is to make quality reporting a byproduct of ambulatory care and ongoing quality improvement.
This project will develop and validate new measures needed for automatically identifying violations of the “Five Rights of Medication Safety”: right patient, right dose, right medication, right route, and right frequency.
This project will design and conduct a usability evaluation of dashboards that provide feedback to home care nurses to improve the care of patients with chronic heart failure.
This project will expand and modify the Child Health Improvement through Computer Automation (CHICA) system to assist pediatricians with the identification and management of four common medical-legal problems that have the potential to adversely impact child health: homelessness, unsafe rental home conditions, inadequate access to necessary utilities, and food insecurity.
This project provided input to inform the development of nine proposed Stage 3 MU objectives focused on patient engagement, interoperability, and care coordination.
This project assessed quality measurement performance and electronic health record (EHR) implementation and found that EHR reminders were associated with improved performance.
This project will develop and implement a large-scale, multi-state, multi-year approach to measuring the impact of health information technology (IT) on the quality and variability of care in ambulatory settings, and along racial and ethnic lines.
