Calibration Metrics for Gap Analysis

Metric Calculation
Total Mismatch (Total Error) wrong/total = (incorrect + partial/2 + missing + spurious)/(correct + partial+ incorrect+ missing + spurious)
Undergeneration missing/possible = missing/(correct + partial+ incorrect + missing)
Overgeneration spurious/actual = spurious/(correct + partial + incorrect + spurious)
Substitution (incorrect + partial/2)/(correct + partial + incorrect)
Codes and Definitions:
  • CDE = Clinical Data Element

  • Match (Correct): CDE on Documentation Artifact ≠ CDE from Reference model

  • Partial Match (Partial): CDE on Documentation Artifact ~= CDE from Reference model (variation between definitions exists but are intended to capture same clinical concept)

  • Conflicting (Incorrect): CDE on Documentation Artifact 4- CDE from Reference model

  • Extra (Spurious): CDE is on Documentation Artifact but does is not represented in Reference model

  • Missing: CDE is not represented on Documentation Artifact but does exist in Reference model
