    PDSA and QI evidence management for FQHCs

    "We have quality work happening everywhere, and I cannot produce one clean record showing what we tried, who owned it, whether it worked, and what we decided."

    Your reporting tools tell you where performance sits. MeasureWise is where you manage what happens next. The rate, the gap list, and the providers off pace are useful. They are not a quality program. MeasureWise is where you document the intervention, assign the work, study whether it moved the measure, record the decision, and keep the evidence for QI committee, board review, and HRSA preparation.

    MeasureWise uses monthly aggregate measure values. No patient-level data. No EHR or Azara connection.

    One clean record per cycle

    The measure, the baseline, the change you tested, who owned it, what the data showed, and what you decided. All in one place, with dates and history.

    Spreadsheets vs. MeasureWise

    The spreadsheet way

    • Several versions of the same tracker in email
    • No record of who decided what, or when
    • Run charts rebuilt by hand
    • A scramble to pull evidence before board or site visits

    With MeasureWise

    • One record per cycle, with history
    • Named owners and due dates on every task
    • SPC charts from your monthly values
    • Export for QI committee, board, or site-visit preparation

    What happens after the report

    1. 1. Document the intervention

      Record the measure, the baseline, what you are changing, and who owns the work.

    2. 2. Study and Act

      Compare the result to baseline on an SPC chart. Record whether you adopt, adapt, or abandon, and who decided.

    3. 3. Keep the evidence

      Tasks, files, decisions, and history stay with the cycle. Export it for QI committee, board review, or site-visit preparation.

    Where MeasureWise fits

    1. Clinical layer

      Your EHR

      Where care is documented. MeasureWise never connects to it.

    2. Reporting layer

      Your reporting tools

      Where rates, gap lists, and provider performance come from.

    3. Action layer

      MeasureWise

      Where you test changes, assign the work, decide, and keep the evidence.

    No integration. You enter monthly aggregate values from the reports you already run.

    Built for your role

    • See every open cycle across sites
    • Know who owns each change and what is overdue
    • Pull a board or committee report without rebuilding it

    Why I built this

    I spent 14 years in healthcare watching good quality work disappear into email threads and old spreadsheets. Then the board meeting or the site visit would come, and we'd rebuild the entire story from memory.

    I built MeasureWise so that never happens again. The record gets built while the work is happening, not the night before the visit.

    Questions buyers ask

    Do we need a BAA or IT review?

    MeasureWise does not accept protected health information and does not offer a BAA. You enter monthly aggregate measure values only. Follow your own organization's review process.

    Does it connect to our EHR or Azara?

    No. You enter values from the reports you already run. There is nothing to install or integrate.

    Does it calculate or submit UDS?

    No. MeasureWise manages the improvement work on your measures. Your UDS reporting stays where it is.

    Can our QI committee use it?

    Yes. Cycles, decisions, and history can be exported for QI committee and board review.

    Is there a free trial?

    Yes. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial.
