The American College of Physicians found no suitable performance measures for migraine care and recommended against a core measure.
2
Investigators evaluated existing migraine measures based on validity, reliability, and applicability, focusing on outpatient and internal medicine practices.
3
Only one existing measure, related to imaging overuse, was identified but not supported due to outdated guidelines and lack of testing.
4
A proposed measure involving triptan and NSAID use was deemed infeasible due to unreliable data capture in electronic health records.
5
The ACP emphasized that current measurement limitations reflect challenges in data capture and documentation, not deficiencies in migraine care.
Pediatric migraine has historically been managed in fragments – symptoms recalled across months of episodic appointments. At Phoenix Children's, digital tools are reshaping care from episodic to continuous.
