The framework, called the Patient Demographic Data Quality Framework, is meant to assist health systems, physician practices, health information exchanges and payers accurately match patient data internally and between organizations.
“The ONC Community of Practice analyzed available frameworks and selected the CMMI Institute’s Data Management Maturity model as the baseline for developing the PDDQ framework of best practices,” explained Lee Stevens, director of state and interoperability policy at ONC.
The PDDQ framework comprises best practices for 19 data management processes, including registration, patient care, laboratory, pharmacy, claims and billing. The goal of the framework is to help organizations assess capabilities related to data governance and interoperability.
