Accessing Data for QI

As adoption of EHRs has increased, so have the concerns about ability to access the data needed to drill down into quality improvement efforts or even reporting requirements. Depending on the type of system being used, data may be cloud based, on a remote server, or on a local server. Further, data may be accessible through preprogrammed, ad hoc, or custom reports, but there may be greater challenges to accessing raw data or data that can be analyzed for quality improvement purposes. Resources in this section address these challenges and provide actionable information for accessing the data needed.

HITEQ Electronic Patient Engagement Tool Selection Rubric

HITEQ Electronic Patient Engagement Tool Selection Rubric

Published June 2021 to assist health centers in selecting a patient engagement tool.

This Excel-based scoring rubric is intended to be used by health centers to assess electronic patient engagement tools (like automated outreach SMS platforms) to determine which tool is most likely to meet the health center's needs. The tool assists health centers in assessing the following areas:

  • Patient communication features
  • Operations features
  • Health IT Integration
  • Attribution and value based care features
  • Patient generated data/ remote patient monitoring features
  • Administration

It provides guidance for weighting and scoring and provides calculated final scores for up to 5 tools. Download the Excel-based tool below.
