Observation Status: Aggregate Measure Report Definition

To be updated: The Domain has reviewed the report-out of patient-level data consistent with requirements for a single measure or a set of measures. The standards are currently in development with respect to that effort and efforts, such as Quality Reporting Document Architecture (QRDA), are under review. The ability to report out the aggregate performance of a provider or a group of providers requires further analysis with respect to the information model. The Domain requested a discussion with the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) to understand some of the requirements and NCQA participated on a call on March 13 to inform the Domain about some of the issues. The current schema for reporting in aggregate for health plans was reviewed. The schema informs greatly the content requirements for aggregate reporting. The investigation was performed based on the Electronic Health Record Vendor Association (EHRVA) request on behalf of US National Health Information Network implementer questions. NCQA als expressed interest in becoming more involved in the process by adding the aggregate view (potentially) to the Collaborative work. More information will be published on this site regarding the discussion. For informational purposes, this link has been provided: [1].
