title: Graphical modeling of HEDIS quality measures and prototyping of related decision support rules to accelerate improvement.
abstract: We describe the application of the RetroGuide analytical toolset to quality improvement in osteoporosis and cholesterol management. Our graphical executable scenarios enable user-friendly modeling of temporal processes and retrospective prototyping of decision support on real EHR data. The graphical format is well understood by clinicians and improves the analyst-clinician collaboration.
