The Relationship Between Electronic Health Record System and Performance on Quality Measures in the American College of Rheumatology's Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness (RISE) Registry: Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Routine collection of disease activity (DA) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are nationally endorsed quality measures and critical components of a treat-to-target approach. However, little is known about the role electronic health record (EHR) systems play in facilitating performance on these measures.

Objective

Using the American College Rheumatology's (ACR's) RISE registry, we analyzed the relationship between EHR system and performance on DA and functional status (FS) quality measures.

Methods

We analyzed data collected in 2018 from practices enrolled in RISE. We assessed practice-level performance on quality measures that require DA and FS documentation. Multivariable linear regression and zero-inflated negative binomial
