title: Automated clinical data collection for national quality measurement reporting.
abstract: Collecting data for the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) ORYX Core Measurement Reporting can be automated using an object-oriented, client-developed program that extracts data from a clinical data repository and utilizes an MHA vendor upload process. The process eliminated 39% of the manual data collection efforts.
