Defining Digital Quality
Digital quality uses standardized, digital data from one or more sources of health information that is captured and exchanged via interoperable systems and applies quality measure specifications that are standards-based. Digital quality measurement leverages code packages and is computed in an integrated environment without additional effort. The solution enables:
- Data queries from standards-based application programming interfaces (such as FHIR® APIs).
- Measure score calculation.
- Generation of outputs necessary for quality reporting.
It is part of the learning health system (LHS) to improve patient care and experiences by ensuring patient and provider access to necessary information in a timely manner (rapid-cycle feedback).
Digital quality measures therefore are quality measures that meet these needs for digital quality measurement
