Effort to Standardize Reports used in Physician Profiling Programs

Thursday, July 19, 2012

The OSMA is one of more than 60 organizations joining the American Medical Association (AMA) in supporting an effort to help physicians better use health insurer-provided data reports as tools to enhance the quality and value of patient care.

To help create data reports that physicians can easily understand and use, the AMA created the “Guidelines for Reporting Physician Data.” The new guidelines provide a roadmap for improving the usefulness of physician data reports by encouraging greater format standardization, process transparency and level of detail. More information from the AMA is available here.
