My Panel Metrics are
tools based on registry metrics that allow you to bring together data that indicates
how well a patient population is meeting a care goal.
A behind‐the‐scenes process called the Population Daemon runs to create and update the RDT records
for patients who qualify for registries.
The Population Daemon does two things:
Evaluates each patient in the Patient ﴾EPT﴿ master file to determine which patients qualify for a
registry based on registry inclusion rules. It updates each patient’s RDT record to reflect the registries in which the patient is included.
Updates all metric values after determining a patient should be part of the registry.
A registry must be…….. for it to be evaluated by the system.
Active
Contact‐Based registries are used in Inpatient settings to collect information about a single ED Visit or Hospital Stay.
Record‐Based Registries are used for Outpatient / Population Health purposes.
Registry data for patients will update based on two different methods.
event based updates, scheduled updates
Population daemon
create new RDT record
add/remove metrics
update metric values during scheduled updates
update metric values for event based triggers
Update EPT registry list
The data the daemon collects is stored in
the Registry and Metric Data ﴾RDT﴿ master file.
There is _____RDT record per entity that qualifies for a record‐based registry.
1,
For example, if a patient qualifies for both the diabetes registry and the hypertension registry,
there is one RDT record for that patient. That RDT record contains all information about
membership in both registries.
The inclusion rule defines the population included on a registry.
Registry metric rules are the data points collected for a registry population.
The population daemon updates registry data for patients.
Scheduled updates and event based triggers will update a registry.
A patient will have one RDT record that contains all information about registries they are part of.
A patient is included in both the COPD and Hypertension registries. How many RDT records are
associated with the patient? Choose only ONE answer.
A. Two records: one for each registry
B. One record
B. One record

Population Daemon
Event-Based Updates
Evaluates only patients with a triggering
event
* Updates patient registry inclusion
* Updates associated metrics
Scheduled Updates
Evaluates ALL patients
* Frequency and time population daemon runs
* Updates which patients are included in the
registries
* Updates associated metrics.
Population Daemon
- Creates new RDT records
- Removes/adds metrics
- Updates metric values during
scheduled updates - Updates metric values for event
-based triggers - Updates EPT registry list
A patient will have _____ RDT record that contains all information about registries they are part of.
one
The Active Patients registry has a registry type of __________.
Filtering
- When a prerequisite relationship is defined in a registry, the
______________ registry processes before the _____________ registry.
prerequisite
dependent
- To apply the Active Patients registry to the Asthma registry, list the
________________ registry as a prerequisite in the __________ registry
and select Yes in the _________________________ field.
active patients
Asthma
Membership Required?
- Selecting Yes in the ________________ field allows a dependent registry to share registry metrics from the prerequisite registry.
inherit metrics
Evaluate whether there is an appropriate piece of data in the patient’s record.
example: Is there a result for a total cholesterol test in this patient’s record?
*If there is no cholesterol data, stop looking. In programmatic terms, quit.
