Methodologic Issues Patient reported data--a vehicle is needed to capture data tagged to source (need CDA type standard and transport standard for self-reported race, ethnicity, language, and equity; perception of experience; and structured data for m-health/home devices) Delta measures—need guidance for reasonable measures of quality for comparison of data points over time Problem lists--identify standards to consistently represent attributes and that can be used for reconciliation Capacity and scalability of EHRs—must be in step with increasing complexity of quality measures Attribution of provider—needs standards to assign each member of a panel for measurement
