Quality Measures
The Quality Measures data mart is where we are building publicly available quality measures. You can see the roadmap in this section. If there is a publicly available measure you would like to see added you can submit an issue on GitHub.
Check out the Knowledge Base article for an overview of the data mart and a walkthrough example for calculating a quality measure.

Data Requirements
This data mart uses the following tables from the Tuva Core Data Model:
- condition
- encounter
- lab_result
- medication
- observation
- patient
- procedure
- medical_claim
- pharmacy_claim
Note: The Tuva Project will generate these Core tables. You just need to map your data to the input layer and run the project.
Variables
The data mart includes logic that allows you to choose a measurement period end date.
quality_measures_period_enddefaults to the current year-endsnapshots_enabledis an optional variable that can be enabled to allow running the mart for multiple years
To run the data mart without the default, simply add the
quality_measures_period_end variable to your dbt_project.yml file
or use the --vars dbt command. See examples below.
dbt_project.yml:
vars:
quality_measures_period_end: "2020-12-31"
snapshots_enabled: true
dbt command:
# Uses defaults or vars from project yml, runs all marts
dbt build
# Runs only the Quality Mesures mart using defaults or vars from project yml
dbt build --select tag:quality_measures
# Overrides vars from project yml, executes snapshots
dbt build --select tag:quality_measures --vars '{quality_measures_period_end: "2020-12-31", snapshots_enabled: true}'
Data Mart Structure
Staging
The staging tables show what tables and fields are used from the Core data model.
Intermediate
The intermediate tables contain the logic for calculating each quality measure. The subfolder for each quality measure contains that measure's specific logic for calculating the denominator, numerator, and exclusions. Many measures use the same logic for calculating exclusions, such as dementia or hospice. This shared logic can be found in the shared exclusions subfolder.
Final
The final tables are an aggregated view of all quality measures and your population.
- Summary Counts: Reporting measure counts with performance rates.
- Summary Long: Long view of the results for the reporting version of all measures. Each row represents the results a measure per patient. A null for the denominator indicates that the patient was not eligible for that measure.
- Summary Wide: Wide view of the results for the reporting version of all measures. This model pivots measures on the patient level (i.e. one row per patient with flags for each measure. The false flags can be treated as care gaps as exclusions have been included in the pivot logic.
