METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING HEALTH QUALITY METRICS

摘要

A method, apparatus and computer program product are therefore provided for generating health quality measurements. In this regard, the method, apparatus, and computer program product may implement a health quality measurement by receiving one or more health quality measurement definitions. Each health quality measurement may include markup language definitions defining one or more calculation parameters for a health quality metric. The method may also include parsing, using a processor, the one or more health quality measurement definitions to derive a semantic representation of the one or more calculation parameters, parsing the semantic representation of the one or more calculation parameters in conjunction with a health quality measurement ontology derived from at least the one or more health quality measurement definitions to generate a health quality measurement calculator application, and executing the health quality measurement calculator application against a set of healthcare data to determine the health quality metric for the healthcare data.

1. A method for implementing a health quality measurement comprising:
receiving one or more health quality measurement definitions, at least a portion of each health quality measurement comprising markup language definitions defining one or more calculation parameters for a health quality metric; parsing, using a processor, the one or more health quality measurement definitions to derive a semantic representation of the one or more calculation parameters; parsing the semantic representation of the one or more calculation parameters in conjunction with a health quality measurement ontology derived from at least the one or more health quality measurement definitions to generate a health quality measurement calculator application; and executing the health quality measurement calculator application against a set of healthcare data to determine the health quality metric for the healthcare data.
