Addressing electronic clinical information in the construction of quality measures.
The authors draw on the experience of Centers of Excellence to review both structural and pragmatic considerations in e-measurement. They suggest that addressing these challenges will require investment by vendors, researchers, and clinicians alike in developing better pediatric content for standard terminologies and data models, encouraging wider adoption of technical standards that support reliable quality measurement, better harmonizing data collection with clinical work flow in EHRs, and better understanding the behavior and potential of e-measures.
