Measure Wizard

• Registry of Events

Appropriate for simple collections of records representing events that will be tracked over time.

Event D Followed by Event N

Appropriate for measures where the opportunity for performance can be represented as an initial event (Event D) and performance can be assessed based on the existence, timing, and/or characteristics of a single subsequent event (Event N).

Event D Followed by Multiple Instances of Event N

Appropriate for measures where the opportunity for performance can be represented as an initial event (Event D) and performance can be assessed based on the existence, timing, and/or characteristics of one or more subsequent events (Event N).

Event D Preceded by Event N

Appropriate for measures where the opportunity for performance can be represented as an initial event (Event D) and performance can be assessed based on the existence, timing, and/or characteristics of a single previous event (Event N).

Event D Preceded by Multiple Instances of Event N

Appropriate for measures where the opportunity for performance can be represented as an initial event (Event D) and performance can be assessed based on the existence, timing, and/or characteristics of one or more previous events (Event N).

Singleton Event D

Appropriate for measures where the opportunity for performance can be represented as an event (Event D) and performance can be assessed based on the properties of that same event.

Count of Event N

Appropriate for measures where the desired quantity is a count of events expressed as a rate per designated unit of elapsed time.

Interval D Containing Multiple Instances of Event N

Appropriate for measures where the opportunity for performance can be represented as an interval (Interval D) and performance can be assessed based on the existence, timing, and/or characteristics of one or more events that fall within that interval (Event N). Common examples of this type of measure include per-member-per-month spending (PMPM), population rates of admissions or other encounter types.

Registry of Entities

Appropriate for simple collections of records representing patients or other entities that will be tracked over time, as of one or more snapshot dates.

 Entity D with Single Past Instance of Event N

Appropriate for measures where the opportunity for performance can be represented as a entity or timeline (Entity D) and performance can be assessed based on the existence, timing, and/or characteristics of a single previous event (Event N).

 Entity D with Multiple Past Instance of Event N

Appropriate for measures where the opportunity for performance can be represented as a entity or timeline (Entity D) and performance can be assessed based on the existence, timing, and/or characteristics of one or more previous events (Event N).

Singleton Entity D

Appropriate for measures where the opportunity for performance can be represented as an entity (Entity D) and performance can be assessed based on the properties of that same entity.

Count of Entity N

Appropriate for measures where the desired quantity is a count of entities as of one or more snapshot dates.

Registry of Static Records

Appropriate for simple collections of records of any kind that do not need to be tracked over time.

Count of Object N Records

Appropriate for measures where the desired quantity is a count of instances of an object or single stack.
