About Tracks and Workgroups

Track 1: Point-of-Care Performance and Quality
1A: Hands-on Intro to HL7 ClinFHIR®, the Da Vinci Project & Quality Measure Reporting with FHIR®
Led by Viet Nguyen, MD of the Da Vinci Project, participants will learn about HL7 FHIR® resources and operations
within the context of quality measure reporting. A hands-on tutorial using ClinFHIR® allows participants to create FHIR®
resources.
1B: Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Quality Measurement
Led by Simon Beaulah of Linguamatics and Ross Martin of 360 Degree Insights, this workgroup will discuss
opportunities for AI to support quality measurement. Interest in AI techniques such as natural language processing hold
promise for supporting quality measurement as part of workflows that augment human review and improve efficiency.
1C: Data Quality for Quality Measurement
Led by Kanwarpreet Sethi of Lantana and John D’Amore of Diameter Health, this workgroup will define data quality,
why it’s important to quality measurement and how it can vary, depending on data source.
1D: Understanding, Choosing and Implementing eCQMs
Led by Thomson Kuhn of American College of Physicians and Zahid Butt, MD of Medisolv Inc., this workgroup will
discuss understanding, choosing, implementing and optimizing implementation of eCQMs.

Track 2: Measurement—Core Elements
2A: Measure Authoring Using HL7 Standards
Led by Juliet Rubini of Mathematica Policy Research, Linda Michaelsen of Optum and Jamie Lehner of PCPI Foundation,
this workgroup will overview reference models and expression formats available for digital measurement (QDM-CQL,
CQLFHIR), and provide hands-on examples of measure specification development.
2B: Guideline-Based, Patient-Centered Measurement
Led by Amir Qaseem, MD of ACP, Jeremy Sussman MD of VA, David Sikes MD of Florida Medical Clinic, Ben Hamlin,
Dan Roman and Jenna Bader of NCQA, this session will examine how digital, person-centered health care affects
implementation of clinical guidelines as quality measures. The group will develop meaningful, patient-centered
measurement strategies using three different use-cases 1) patient-prediction models for ASCVD, 2) rheumatoid arthritis
and 3) care transitions.
2C: Terminology Harmonization
Led by Robert McClure, MD of MD Partners Inc., Lisa Anderson of The Joint Commission and Angie Glotstein of Cerner,
this workgroup will discuss best practices for value set development and maintenance and for harmonizing value sets
across measures and measure developers.

Track 3: Dissemination and Decision Support
3A: Data Quality and Validation
Led by Wendy Talbot, Suzanne Porter and Stephanie Rodriguez, from NCQA’s Measure Validation team, this
workgroup will review clinical data layouts from the viewpoint of an auditor, discuss what works and what doesn’t for
passing an audit and identify how audit guidelines and requirements can be adapted to accommodate the differences in
these data, compared to traditional claims and medical record data.
3B: Measure Reporting, Results and Gaps in Care Dissemination
Led by Rick Wilkening and Bo Borgnakke of MiHIN, this workgroup will discuss Michigan’s efforts and lessons learned
in the quality space, including eCQM and HEDIS measure reporting in traditional and future FHIR® environments.
3C: Using CDS to Integrate Measure Capture Into Existing Clinician Workflows
Led by Claude Nanjo of the University of Utah and Bryn Rhodes of HarmonIQ, this workgroup will focus on leveraging
clinical decision support within the clinical workflow to achieve better compliance with clinical quality measures.
