Decision support systems for determining conformity with medical care quality standards
Abstract:
Systems, methods and computer-readable media are provided for determining conformity to performance of meaningful use measures in human health care delivery. A Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo statistical process is utilized to achieve reliable estimates for such measures despite the small subgroup sample sizes accruing during each measurement period. One embodiment utilizes zero- and one-inflated beta regression that is robust against moderate prevalence of zero or one counts in the numerators for such measurements and determinations of statistical associations with such factors as clinician, care venue, and patient attributes. Based on the determined conformity, a notification is provided to provider clinicians or organization management indicating the conformity and, in some instances, a degree of conformity.
