The Quality Measure Execution-Early Hearing (QME-EH) profile describes the content needed to communicate patient-level data to electronically monitor the performance of early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) initiatives for newborns.


Summary

The Newborn Hearing Screening measure (EHDI 1a) developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and endorsed by the US National Quality Forum (NQF), has been selected as the sample measure for the Trial Implementation of this QME-EH profile. The EHDI- 1a measure provides patient-level information to track performance against the goal to provide hearing screening for all newborns prior to discharge from a birthing facility. Where specific US measure content is specified in this profile, realm-specific options and definitions have been used.

The Quality Measure Execution-Early Hearing (QME-EH) content profile demonstrates the use of the HL7 Quality Reporting Document Architecture (QRDA) standard to implement the patient-level quality measure report (QRDA level I) for measures specific to newborn hearing screening. QRDA establishes the general implementation guidelines for using the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture Standard (CDA R2) to create different types of quality measure reports. QME-EH constrains QRDA for measures defined for the newborn hearing screening conducted as a part of the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) public health program.

Benefits

  • Ensure that digital newborn hearing screening quality measure data captured and communicated consistently in order to support consistent quality measure computation
  • Standardize quality measurement for care of newborns born in a birthing facility
  • Provide interoperability between clinical EHRs and Public Health EHDI Information Systems (EHDI-IS) for increased efficiency and better data quality

Details

The Quality Measure Execution-Early Hearing (QME-EH) content profile specifies how to use the HL7 Quality Reporting Document Architecture (QRDA) standard to implement a patient-level quality measure report for newborn hearing screening.

QRDA is a specialized implementation guide (IG) for the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture standard (CDA R2). It establishes general guidelines for creating three types of CDA documents for sharing different types of quality measure reports.

The QME-EH profile shows implementers how to use a supplied measure definition for newborn hearing screening, and the measure definition’s associated data set and data processing logic, to create and consume a CDA-based patient-level quality measure report. This includes:

  • Measure Section: Each Measure Section in the report declares which measure(s) the data enclosed within the section is intended to support. Each measure section further includes:
  • Reporting Parameters Section: Within each Measure Section, the patient-level QRDA document provides information about the reporting time interval applicable for creating or consuming the data associated with that measure or set of measures. The reporting time interval is jurisdictionally defined. This may contain other information that provides context for the patient data being reported.
  • Patient Data Section: Within each Measure Section, the patient-level QRDA document encodes discrete data needed to process the data and execute the assessment defined for the quality measure or set of measures.

Systems Affected

  • PACS systems may store, manage, and/or display Evidence Documents.
  • Display systems may query, retrieve and display Evidence Documents.
  • Reporting workstations may retrieve, process and include details from Evidence Documents in reports
