Description

This presentation explores the practical benefits of merging quality measures with clinical decision support into a unified framework. This integration streamlines the technological framework, representing a critical step forward in reducing healthcare costs and enhancing patient care.

Care gaps present a significant challenge in healthcare, leading to increased costs and risks to patient safety. While addressing these gaps is crucial, preventing them can have an even more substantial impact. Traditionally, the separation between quality measures and clinical decision support standards made the proactive identification and management of care gaps cumbersome, labor-intensive, and costly. The integration of these standards through Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) and Clinical Quality Language (CQL) offers a promising solution.

This integration enables the use of quality measures and clinical decision support not only to identify potential care gaps but also to deliver evidence-based recommendations to bridge these gaps preemptively. 

Learn How To:   

  • Identify potential care gaps proactively and deliver evidence-based recommendations
  • Streamline technological frameworks to reduce labor and costs 
  • Use quality measures and clinical decision support to identify care gaps but also to deliver evidence-based recommendations to bridge these gaps preemptively
