Composite Index of Pediatric Lupus Care Metrics: The PLCI

The Pediatric Lupus Care Index (PLCI) was developed as a composite index to benchmark the quality of care for pediatric lupus patients. It includes care processes related to routine assessment of disease control, minimizing disease and treatment-related comorbidity, and population management. The goal of publishing the manuscript was to showcase that measurement of care processes and care quality can be automated and integrated into electronic health records, making adoption more feasible for the pediatric community.
