AHRQ Request for Information and Web Conference Focuses on Health IT-Enabled Quality Measurement

AHRQ is seeking comments through August 20 on ways to improve quality measurement through health IT. As a part of its initiative to identify possibilities and pathways to the next generation of health IT enabled quality measurement, AHRQ has issued a Federal Register notice for “Request for Information (RFI) on Quality Measurement Enabled by Health IT.” The RFI seeks ideas and input from the public across diversified stakeholder groups on successful strategies and remaining challenges in the creation of health IT-enabled quality measure development and reporting. AHRQ encourages from health IT system developers, vendors, payers, quality measure developers, clinicians, and health care consumers. Select to read the July 20 Federal Register notice. In addition, AHRQ will host a national Web conference on July 31 at 1:30 p.m. ET to provide additional information on the RFI and review highlights of the report Quality Measurement Enabled by Health IT: Overview, Possibilities, and Challenges.  AHRQ staff will review highlights of the report and convene a dialogue about how to capture quality through health IT. Participants will learn about current initiatives to measure health care quality and possibilities for the next generation of health IT-enabled quality measurement.
