Belgian Researchers Develop EMR-Extractable Quality Indicators For Primary Care

Belgian researchers used a RAND-modified Delphi process between January and December 2024 to develop an evidence-based set of 40 electronically extractable quality indicators (QIs) for general practitioners' EMR use, publishing results in JMIR Medical Informatics in 2026. An expert panel of 18 (12 GPs and 6 EMR developers) approved 20 indicators and 20 recommendations drawn from 9 guidelines and 4 reviews, with 16 QIs targeting problem-list completeness to support electronic audit-and-feedback and targeted GP training.
