Process
Process: A process of care is a health care-related activity performed for, on behalf of, or by a patient.

  1. Process measures are supported by evidence that the clinical process—that is the focus of the measure—has led to improved outcomes.
  2. These measures are generally calculated using patients eligible for a particular service in the denominator, and the patients who either do or do not receive the service in the numerator.
Example: The percentage of patients with chronic stable coronary artery disease (CAD) who were prescribed lipid-lowering therapy.
