WHY: To prepare your team to contribute data to estimate the quality of the data in your EMR. WHAT: To contribute data for this indicator, you must have a Screening Activity Report from CCO for one physician (at minimum) in your team.
- Physician signs up for the CCO Screening Activity Report (SAR) through eHealth Ontario ONE ID
- Get an eHealth Ontario ONE ID for each interested physician (see SAR website to register). It takes up to 2 weeks to process the request to create an account.
- Ask physicians to delegate access to you.
- OR get the SAR data directly from your physicians.
- Find the screening rate on the SAR
- The up-to-date screening rates are on the bar chart (dark blue bars). Click here to learn more about the SAR or watch this video on using the SAR dashboard for more help.
- Extract colorectal and cervical screening rate data from your EMR.
- Contact your QIDSS or Carol Mulder for more information about how to run a query to obtain this data. Sample EMR queries will soon be available on the AFHTO website.
- Extract the denominator (the number of eligible patients who should be screened) and the numerator (the number of patients in the EMR that were screened). Calculate the screening rate by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
- Generate the data quality indicator.
- Calculate the ratio of EMR to CCO screening rates (click here for sample calculation).
- Set data aside for submission to D2D 2.0 (see data submission guide).
WHEN: ASAP – turnaround time for ONE ID and SAR report can be up to two weeks.
