End users would like a report and/or feature in the EMR that would allow them to check measures based on a specific patient or group of patients, for example, patients scheduled on a future day.

Purposed Options

1 - Nightly SQL job that will run this measure or measures for patients on the schedule at that time for the future, say a week in advance. When a provider looks at the scheduled visits they would know right away if the patients they are seeing today have or have not met a certain measures and can accommodate accordingly. Here the measures in question would need to be defined in the provider's preferences.

Note - Since there are performance issues with several of the Meaningful Use measures in the provider’s User Preferences, this would need to be a separate list that can be populated without the performance impact of the other list that typically slows the encounter down dramatically. OR the list they have only affect the provider's performance when they go to the Quality Measure button and hit the refresh. Then it should only refresh the items previously not met to see if they resolved them.

2 - An additional field in the CQM reports area for an individual patient and/or a field to select a future day, week, or month from a particular provider's schedule. Here the measures in question would be checked as they are now from the list.
