What are some areas for further research concerning performance measures related to PCI?
The writing committee identified four areas of interest for further investigation with regard to performance measures related to PCI. These areas are: 1) Documentation of prescription of drugs versus filling of drug prescriptions and optimal dosing of drugs, 2) Limitations of current data systems for PCI, 3) Documentation of preprocedural estimated GFR and contrast dose as internal quality-improvement measures, and 4) Considerations for inclusion of contrast-related nephropathy in future iterations of the measure set.
