Introduction
This document is intended to provide a general overview and introduction about data collection methods that MRO uses by integrating practice systems to collect the required data for measure calculations. MRO can collect data from various EHR’s (Electronic Health Record), Practice Management (PM), RCM (Revenue Cycle Management) and Laboratory Information System (LIS).
Technology
All the clinical data is collected from these systems via various mechanisms.
MRO Enterprise Connector, which is installed on the practice or vendor database server in case of PULL integration.
Platform used to host the Registry data.
Normalized data for all practices across accounts in the MRO GCP environment. While the data structure of various EHR/PM/RCM/LIS systems would be different but CDR will have a standard structure to acquire data in a normalized form.
Transformed data at the element level as per the Registry Data Dictionary for the measure.
The Registry specific dashboard that displays measures performance.
MRO support team responsible for reviewing the Registry dashboard with sites.
