The committee's clinical quality work group recommended quality measures that health care providers and vendors could include in electronic health records. The work group called for EHRs to feature: Body mass index and asthma management documentation by 2011; Harmonized clinical measures across age groups and settings; and Identification of diagnoses according to the Systemized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms, or SNOMED-CT.
