Quality Measure Calculation

The Problem: Why Quality Measure Calculations Are Hard to Trust

Quality measures sit at the heart of Value-Based Care programs, yet calculation accuracy and consistency remain persistent challenges.

Organizations commonly struggle with:

  • Variations in measure definitions, versions, and interpretations
  • Fragmented clinical and claims data feeding the same measure
  • Limited transparency into how measures are calculated and refreshed
  • Difficulty reproducing results during audits or stakeholder reviews

As a result, quality measures often become points of contention instead of trusted decision inputs.

What This Use Case Entails

Enabling quality measure calculation goes beyond reporting—it requires robust data engineering and deterministic logic.

This use case typically involves the ability to:

  • Integrate clinical and claims data required for measure evaluation
  • Normalize data elements using consistent terminologies and value sets
  • Implement measure logic in a versioned, repeatable manner
  • Produce calculation outputs that are auditable and reproducible

When done correctly, quality measure calculations become reliable building blocks for analytics, reporting, and downstream workflows.

How TechVariable Approaches Care Gap & Care Plan Enablement

We approach quality measure calculation as a data and logic enablement challenge, not as a packaged measurement product.

Our typical approach includes:

Data Integration & Readiness

Preparing clinical and claims datasets required for quality evaluation, aligned to measure specifications.

Terminology & Measure Logic Alignment

Operationalizing value sets, code mappings, and measure definitions in a controlled and maintainable way.

Calculation Pipeline Enablement

Designing deterministic calculation pipelines that support consistent execution and refresh cycles.

Traceability & Defensibility

Ensuring calculation outputs can be traced back to source data and logic to support audit and review needs.

This approach enables quality measures to be transparent, explainable, and scalable.
