Performance Measurement in Registries
Introduction
This course addresses challenges and opportunities for long-term efforts to create ideal registries that also meet evolving performance measurement needs. While current options are limited to probabilistic matching
of large databases, more long-term strategies will be available in the future to accomplish the same objectives of quality improvement and performance measurement through the integration of administrative data.
One such cost-effective solution will be real-time
data acquisition encounter. This course also describes short-term solutions for leveraging both administrative and registry data to make additional performance results available, as well as longer-term solutions to further
increase the utility of registries for performance
measurement and other purposes.
Course Aim
- Collect and store data that can be analyzed
and referred to as needed; - Provide tools to assist with population management, quality improvement, and data quality reporting assurance – for example, risk adjustment, trend analysis, population views, benchmarks, and quality report transmissions;
- Standardize data elements and definitions across most conditions
- Develop a uniform method of a client identity management
- Allow registries to actively interoperate with electronic records systems
