Building a self-measuring healthcare system with computable metrics, data fusion, and substitutable apps.

Year: 2015

Abstract: To create an information economy that underpins healthcare reform, the US federal government has invested $48 billion promoting instrumentation of hospitals and practices with electronic health records (EHRs) certified to meet federally-defined criteria for Meaningful Use. The return on investment is predicated on a theoretical capability to repurpose useful and comprehensive data collected during the routine care of patients. These data would be pressed into service to measure outcomes, guide care, and link payment to quality and value. [1]
