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.

Specifically, the document outlines the data methodology used for rate setting and attribution. The case study also provides an overview of data tracked for non-traditional patient encounters such as telehealth and transportation services. The document highlights its use of data on social determinants of health as well as other data related to cost, quality, access, and population health.
