Measuring diabetes care performance using electronic health record data: the impact of diabetes definitions on performance measure outcomes.
The authors examined the use of electronic health record (EHR) data for diabetes performance measurement. They found that diabetes performance measures are influenced by the data elements used to identify patients. They recommended that as EHR data are used increasingly to measure performance, continuing to improve our understanding of how EHR data are collected and used will be critical.
