Abstract

Computerisation of quality indicators for the English National Health Service currently relies primarily on queries and clinical coding, with little use of ontologies. We investigated attributes and relationships in a diverse set of over 200 healthcare quality indicators, categorising by clinical pathway, inclusion and exclusion criteria and Institute of Medicine purpose. Our results, some of which are described in this paper, were used to create an ontology that could reduce duplication of effort in healthcare quality monitoring.
