I agree. It COULD be done if all of the needed info was available in the system, and one lone overworked programmer had a few weeks to dedicate time solely to the project. I studied the specs and they are a monster! At our site, the MSO has opted for a "scaled down" version that I created. About every 18 months they will ask me if I can expand on the foundation I've created, and my answer is always the same (yes, but...). Good luck!

Now pardon me, because I'm not thinking globally, just on an indicator-by indicated basis. But for example, you could have an NPR that pulls all patients with admitting diagnosis of pneumonia, then also pulls their time of admission, time of first antibiotic, and time of ABG/SaO2, then automatically calculates whether things were done within the time frame allowed, and displays compliance statistics. I couldn't write such a report to save my soul, but I know people who can. The hangup in my facility would be that we're not up with BMV/eMAR in the ED, where most first doses are given, so that data would not be available electronically. Anyway, in theory, a lot of the Core Measure stuff could be assembled by an NPR report. But you knew that already. I'm just sort of thinking "out loud" and trying to keep the dialog going, because I think this is an interesting and important subject. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Dollar, Betty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Please Please post!!
