Background:Risk adjustment is critical in the comparison of quality of care and health care outcomes for providers. Electronic health records (EHRs) have the potential to eliminate the need for costly and time-consuming manual data abstraction of patient outcomes and risk factors necessary for risk adjustment.Methods:Leading EHR vendors and hospital focus groups were asked to review risk factors in the New York State (NYS) coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery statistical models for mortality and readmission and assess feasibility of EHR data capture. Risk models based only on registry data elements that can be captured by EHRs (one for easily obtained data and one for data obtained with more difficulty) were developed and compared with the NYS models for different years.Results:Only 6 data elements could be extracted from the EHR, and outlier hospitals differed substantially for readmission but not for mortality. At the patient level, measures of fit and predictive ability indicated that the EHR models are inferior to the NYS CABG surgery risk model [eg, c-statistics of 0.76 vs. 0.71 (P< 0.001) and 0.76 vs. 0.74 (P= 0.009) for mortality in 2010], although the correlation of the predicted probabilities between the NYS and EHR models was high, ranging from 0.96 to 0.98.Conclusions:A simplified risk model using EHR data elements could not capture most of the risk factors in the NYS CABG surgery risk models, many outlier hospitals were different for readmissions, and patient-level measures of fit were inferior.BACKGROUNDHealth care quality measurement is an important accountability factor that is used for assessing provider quality and making provider payments. 1 The National Quality Forum (NQF) has endorsed> 700 quality measures, with many increase in the pipeline. 2 For many of these measures, collecting and reporting data are a complex, time-consuming, manual process. 2 The adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) has long been viewed as the key to eliminate this major barrier to health care measurement. 3 As the development and sophistication of the EHR grows, 4–8 it has increasingly become a focus of measurement and measure developers. 9–15
