Clinical Content
The performance measures for the AGA Digestive Health Outcomes Registry were developed in a collaborative process using an expert panel. Colorectal cancer prevention (CRC-P) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and clinical practice workflow experts were identified from within the AGA membership community to develop a performance measure set. Specific desirable patient outcomes and care processes were identified based on scientific evidence and clinical practice guidelines.
The measures development process was based on a modification of the Delphi Method of iterative review and revision to craft measures that will provide an objective, actionable depiction of the output of the processes of care. Through the construction of the measures elemental specifications were created. The clinical data element identification and definitions were based on the practical availability of the desired information and the form (paper and electronic) that these data are currently available in practice.
