Digital quality measure of potentially avoidable emergency presentations among patients with colorectal cancer
The enhanced dQM accurately identified potentially avoidable EPs, which were associated with worse outcomes. This measure is unique in its focus on cases of preventable care delays, which can help guide future efforts to improve diagnostic timeliness and reduce EPs among patients with CRC.
