title: Development of a quality measurement ontology in OWL.
abstract: The development of technologies that facilitate implementation of quality measurement (QM) within EHRs represents an important informatics challenge. Standards-based tools enabling shared, computable measures are clearly needed. Central to meeting this need is the creation of a QM ontology. We describe our initial work in modeling the QM domain.
