3. Project Definition
3.a. Project Scope
The AHRQ Outcome Measures Framework (OMF) defines six categories of outcomes: Survival, Clinical Response, Events of Interest, Patient-Reported, Resource Utilization, Impact on Non-Participant, and Experience of Care. Using this Framework, expert panels have converged on a core set of outcome definitions and criteria for a number of conditions, including Depression, Asthma, Lung Cancer, Lumbar Spondylolisthesis, and others. Depression outcomes include such items as 'improvement in depressive symptoms', 'suicidal ideation', and 'work productivity'. Lung Cancer outcomes include such items as 'progression', 'disease-free survival', 'healthcare utilization'. Asthma outcomes include such items as 'exacerbation', 'asthma control', 'quality of life'. As one might expect, different groups with different use cases (e.g. research, quality measurement, clinical decision support) might define these outcomes differently, hampering data reuse. We seek in this project to define a method and a formalism for representing outcome definitions and criteria, such that the criteria can be reused across different use cases. We propose aligning with the direction the United States is going with quality measurements and decision support, so that a common set of definitions can be used across quality measurement, decision support, research, and patient care; and so that we are better able to extract and use data captured in the process of patient care. We will start with an example based on content available for depression outcomes including such items as those mentioned above. Other potential examples might include criteria in other expert panel reviewed domains. In scope for this project: [1] Define a reproducible method and a formalism for representing condition outcome definitions and criteria, such that the representations can be reused across different use cases. [2] Align the formalism with the direction the United States is going with quality measurements and decision support, using FHIR, QI-Core, and CQL. [3] Demonstrate this process end to end through the development of a set of examples, beginning with Depression. [The example will be used to demonstrate the use of the Framework and not to ballot the content.] [4] Publish this process and set of examples in a FHIR Implementation Guide. --- This FHIR implementation guide will use the US Core profiles. If this FHIR implementation guide is unable to use a US Core profile, we will request approval from the US Realm Steering Committee, and provide the US Realm Steering Committee an approved rationale for deviation in the implementation guide where applicable. |
3.b. Project Need
Learning Health Systems are hampered by differences in condition definitions and criteria across quality measurements, decision support, research, and direct patient care. These differences further add to provider data capture burden, and hamper our ability to reuse data generated in the process of patient care. |
3.c. Security Risks
Will this project produce executable(s), for example, schemas, transforms, style sheets, executable program, etc. If so the project must review and document security risks. Refer to the Cookbook for Security Considerations for additional guidance, including sample spreadsheets that may be used to conduct the security risk assessment. | Yes | |
