Quality Innovation Series 2021 Chapter: Digital Quality

Digital quality measures (DQM) are digitalized versions of existing HEDIS measures—the same type of measure that health plans have used and reported on for three decades. DQMs are key to unlocking the potential of a reimagined quality enterprise. They reduce the time and cost to distribute, implement and maintain measures. Electronic Clinical Data System measures (ECDS), a subset of dQMs that use the HEDIS reporting standard, ease reporting burden by using data generated in the normal course of care delivery and captured in EHRs, registries, health information exchanges and other digital sources. This rich clinical data allows measurement of more of what matters, including outcomes and care for individual patients .
