With over 400 measures available in HDC Discover across a variety of topics and conditions, finding the right measure can sometimes feel overwhelming. Whether you’re working on a specific quality improvement project, monitoring a particular patient population, or exploring new opportunities for practice improvement, there are several ways to quickly find the measures that matter most to you.
This month, we’re highlighting different ways to search more efficiently.
Looking for a Specific Measure?
You can either browse measures through the QI Panel domains or search directly using the Measures page. The Measures page serves as a complete directory of all measures available in HDC Discover. In addition to searching for measures by keyword, you can also view which EMRs support each measure, helping you quickly confirm whether a measure is available for your practice.
Example: Finding measures related to Diabetes
