Research
funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), made
advances in measuring quality using health information technologies. They
examined the development of electronic quality measures, methods of
capturing and integrating quality data in EHRs, the accuracy of IT
enabled measurements, methods for providing meaningful feedback to
clinicians, and ways that health IT could improve the efficiency of
quality measurement.
