This paper calls for the promotion of electronic health record (EHR)–based quality measures and reporting* as a critical component of achieving meaningful use of health information technology to improve health care quality. Quality measures should provide timely, understandable, comprehensive, clinically valid, and meaningful feedback to physicians and their practice teams. These measurement attributes are essential to attain and sustain meaningful improvements in health care delivery, patient outcomes, and experience. Movement toward EHR-based quality measurement and reporting will take significant health care system resources but if done correctly, the result should be a process that is clinically relevant, accurate, and trusted by the full range of stakeholders, particularly patients and their physicians.
The recommendations in this paper can guide policy and technology efforts to ensure that EHR-based quality measurement and reporting produces more accurate and useful information for all health care stakeholders.
