Electronic Physician Profiles: Developing an Interactive Web-Based Report for Physicians at Island Health

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2019:257:310-313.

Abstract

Evidence based measurement is accepted as an important aspect of quality improvement. Making this data available to physicians to support them in quality improvement and to inform their practice presents a broad range of challenges. Addressing these challenges requires a solution that allows physicians to leverage the data repositories in the Enterprise Data Warehouse to develop and use evidence based clinical measures using an interactive, user-friendly, and secure infrastructure. In this talk, we discuss key aspects of the development of an interactive web-based report for physicians at Island Health, and present the final product. Given the privacy and security issues surrounding this type of data, a mock profile will be presented, rather than true results for actual physicians.Here, we have developed an initial prototype of a physician level report delivered via Microsoft Power BI as a possible dynamic tool to share these important data.
