9. www.amia.org Interoperability “The ability of any EHR to exchange valid and useful information with any registry on behalf of any willing provider at any time in a manner that improves the efficiency of registry participation for the provider and patient and does not require significant customization to the EHR or the registry system” Any EHR should be able to exchange data with any registry, and any registry should be able to exchange data with any EHR

Decision support toolsProvide recommendations for care for an individual patient using evidence-based guidelines. Population measurement Population level standardized reports Provides an analysis of population-level compliance with QI measures or other summaries (e.g., patient outcomes across the population) Benchmarking reportsCompares population-level data for various types of providers. Population level dashboards Provides snapshot look at QI progress and areas for continued improvement. Quality Improvement Tools – Examples
