There are three phases that support the quality improvements. The first phase is the clinical decision support which supports the healthcare providers and patients to make the proper decisions during that time. Examples of meaningful use in clinical decision support are focused patient-data reports or conditions, drug-interaction checks, documentations, diagnostic support-specific condition sets. The second phase is the electronic health records that share data that uses patient’s information to provide quality of care during the treatment and the last phase is the electronic clinical quality measures in which this tool will track the quality of services rendered by healthcare workers and help find areas for improvement.
