She started at the very beginning of her self-directed, non-traditional route to coding. She first had to learn to code. She worked, studied, and leaned on mentors and others until she reached the point of being hired for a full time job. What language did she tackle as that very first one? Elixir! We talked with Kimberly Johnson about how she did it. She shared her story at ElixirConf which we found inspiring. We wanted to go deeper on how she kept going when things got hard and how she built up a network of mentors and resources to help along the way. A great story and potential roadmap for others who want to follow a non-traditional path to a software development career!

On this episode, Rick Moore, CIO at NCQA, joins us for a discussion about what's next for digital quality measurement. Rick likes to call this Digital Quality Measures 2.0 and you can see it coming to life in NCQA's eMeasure Certification (eMC) program. The program aims to take burden away from health plans and auditors by establishing a process for generating standard supplemental data for HEDIS measures. This will enable software vendors, providers, HIEs and others to more effectively and efficiently provide needed clinical data without all the manual chart pulls (you can see the certified vendors here). Additionally, the eMeasure test process is now approved as the only alternative to the Project Cypress toolset in the ONC Health IT Certification Program. Rick sees great opportunity ahead for a few reasons: The community is more engaged (vendors, providers, payers) The government has backed off (a bit) on mandating specifically how things will be done There are more options available to providers These factors, coupled with the rise of promising new specifications like Clinical Quality Language (CQL) and FHIR, might put us in a position to move away from performance-based measures of providers and towards holistic, patient-centered measures; away from manual data entry and toward clinical data that is automatically collected as a by-product of the physician workflow. At the same time, he is realistic and offers several cautions: We can't wait for CQL and FHIR. Let's move forward with what we've got now and upgrade along the way. We can't just toss out process measures and go strictly outcomes measures. We need both. We can't mandate interoperabillity as the basis for all measures right away We address these issues and so much more, including: What is the National Committee for Quality Assurance or NCQA? (0:55) What's NCQA's role in monitoring quality in healthcare? (2:08) What's the difference between process measures and outcomes measures? What about Patient Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs) vs. institutionally focused outcomes measures? (4:35) How does NCQA decide what's worth measuring especially when you consider the high levels of administrative burden and burnout on the physicians? (10:00) The unintended consequences of value-based payment (13:00) What if we decided that from this point forward we would only have measures that could be collected digitally? (15:30) Structured vs. unstructured data (20:00) Manually entered and properly coded vs. automatically captured data points (23:45) What if we decided that from this point forward we won't collect measures unless we have interoperabillity? Would we get interoperabillity more quickly? (25:30) Why aren't we using all the digital info that is already available? Think manual chart pulls instead of data extracts or queries against Health Information Exchanges (HIE)? 27:30 Do you agree with the following statement? Some health systems will make the investment needed to satisfy quality measure requirements without a major burden on providers and that will give them a competitive advantage because doctors will choose to work there (33:00) What is the Electronic Measure Certification (eMC) program? (39:00) Does the eMC program serve as a vehicle for HIEs and other community aggregators to get in the HEDIS measurement flow by providing standard supplemental data to the health plans? (49:00) What advice would you give doctors who want to have more of a say in the quality measure specifications going forward? (51:25) Where can listeners learn more about you, NCQA and the eMC program? (51:25) There's a lot here. I hope you enjoy it! ~ Don Lee Mentioned on the podcast Re-imagining Quality Measurement by Shahid Shah (presented at The Digital Quality Summit) The Digital Quality Summit | Held November 1-2, 2017, Washington, DC HL7 and NCQA partnered to host the Digital Quality Summit - gathering the best and brightest in health care and technology to demonstrate methods for eliminating measurement burdens and bridging the digital gap.

Dr. Myron M. Levine Director of the Center for Vaccine Development at the University of Maryland School Of Medicine gives the 2011 McAuley Oration. Dr. Levine’s clinical research has involved studies of pathogenesis and the assessment of a variety of vaccines in adults and children in Maryland, as well as in many developing countries. He designed, arranged and supervised the performance of several large-scale, randomized, controlled field trials investigating the efficacy of live oral typhoid vaccines (which led to licensure of Ty21a by the FDA) and a vaccine to prevent invasive disease caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b. He is the recipient of the Albert B. Sabin Gold Medal Award for lifetime achievement in the area of vaccine development and implementation. Held November 7, 2011.
