As part of Day 2 of Launch Week V2 at Metriport, we’re introducing Condition Chronicity Flagging 🗂

TL;DR:

Available directly within Metriport’s UI or via API, providers and data teams can now instantly differentiate between chronic and non-chronic medical conditions.

See docs: https://docs.metriport.com/medical-api/fhir/extensions/chronicity

How Does It Work?

Under the hood, Metriport leverages the Chronic Condition Indicator Refined (CCIR) data set, developed as part of the Healthcare Cost & Utilization Project (HCUP) by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

This tool classifies conditions as chronic, non-chronic, or unspecified based on the ICD-10-CM codes.

Why It Matters

  • Providers can quickly identify their patients' chronic conditions for improved treatment at the point of care.
  • Simplified patient medical record summaries ensures only the most relevant information is present.
  • Improved data quality means improved capabilities for risk adjustment, quality measures, and more.
