Overview

Through the data validation process, valuable information is gained that can then be used to improve performance around patient care or quality of care metrics.  Improving quality performance may take the form of improving data collection processes, better identifying patients who need additional interventions, or decreasing missed opportunities to provide patients appropriate interventions, among other possibilities. This section includes guidance on leveraging Health IT to improve quality performance including change packages for recommended approaches related to various quality of care measures.

Optimizing the Presentation and Visualization of Health Data for Patients and Providers

An AHRQ Webinar

This webinar discussed methods for optimizing the presentation of health data for both providers and patients. Presenters discussed methods for presenting meaningful displays of medical test result data to patients for improved understanding and described two EHR usability studies around navigators and clinical note organization to improve the efficiency of provider documentation. 

Objectives:
  1. Describe the challenges patients face in understanding medical test data and present evidence-based methods to overcome these barriers and help patients make sense of the data, manage their health, and make choices about their care.
  2. Describe findings around EHR navigator usage and clinical note organization with usability studies to support improved provider workflow.
