Abstract:
Despite recent calls to action and a heavy emphasis on timeliness of care in guidelines for common inborn errors of metabolism, there is a dearth of specific measurable quality metrics for these conditions and little to no electronic decision support for their management. We have developed a novel set of process-oriented metrics based on the aforementioned guidelines that can be calculated from data already contained in most major EHRs, which we believe are responsive to the needs of the metabolism community.

Peroxisomal Protein Import:
Peroxisomes lack the genetic machinery required to code for their own proteins. Hence, most peroxisomal membrane, lumenal and transmembrane proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm or ER and transported to the peroxisome...
