I need information from you related to the quality and/or performance metrics that can be data mined from the GE Centricity EMR. I have been directed to learn what data reports and data retrieval are available. I also would need to run a baseline-type report of volumes by CPT codes or signs & symptoms. I understand that the MQIC is being transformed into another product which is not ready for demonstration as of yet. However, in the interim I need information so that the contract development can be based on retrievable data points. I am eager to learn how you can help me gain this insight.
Thank you,
Cliff
Well, quality metrics means so many different things to different people. Here at Tufts, we use most of the standard MU reports to gather info for that reporting. However, all other work is custom-designed reports using Crystal based on logic and rules programmed.
For example, I could find my current diabetics with code like:
{PERSON.PSTATUS} = "A" and
{PERSON.ISPATIENT} = "Y" and
{@_PatientAge} >= 18.00 and
{@LastClinicalVisitDays} <= 1200.00 and
{OBS.DB_CREATE_DATE} >= DateTime (2007, 01, 01, 00, 00, 00) and
not (LowerCase({PERSON.LASTNAME}) like ["test","testing","logician"]) and
Cstr({problem.xid})="1.00e+035" and
{PROBLEM.QUALIFIER} = "Dx of" and
{PROBLEM.CODE} startswith "ICD-250"
Pick the fields on want on my report - name, mrn, dob, ...
And done. You have a report of all your diabetics.
Once this far, lab results can be added to show patients with high numbers, old lab dates, etc..
So, most any reporting is possible to be designed and built. Limited only by your imagination!
