Optimizing data quality, governance, and clinical workflows can help organizations succeed with electronic clinical quality measures, a Joint Commission report shows.
To succeed with electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs), organizations should optimize their data quality, improve data governance efforts, and enhance clinician education, according to a recent report from The Joint Commission (TJC).
The report recognized nine organizations that have leveraged eCQMs and health IT to drive quality improvement. As part of its Proven Practices Collection, TJC identified several trends that contributed to the success of these organizations, including plans to improve data quality and accuracy.
TJC found that hospitals and health systems leveraged numerous tools and strategies to enhance the quality of their data, including visual techniques.
