Revision as of 16:28, 8 October 2014
IHE Quality, Research and Public Health Domain (QRPH) addresses the infrastructure and content necessary to:
- share information relevant to quality improvement,
- improve the liaison between the primary care system and clinical research and
- provide population base health surveillance.
The three distinct components of the QRPH domain are all reliant on the secondary use of data gathered in clinical care.
The work of QRPH enables the stakeholders to focus on the workflow cycle of queries for data and selection of population cohorts from within the clinical record. In addition, QRPH incorporates the output from the query specification within the clinical system workflow to enable clinical decision support and defines profiles for adverse event reporting, especially with reference to medication-related adverse outcomes.
Sponsors
QRPH is sponsored by Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and manages the Quality Profiles.
There are two committees. For details regarding activities of each, select the appropriate link below:
- The Quality, Research and Public Health Planning Committee
- The Quality, Research and Public Health Technical Committee
Timeline: 2014-2015 Planning and Development Cycle
The following table outlines the general activities and steps planned for the 2014-2015 year. Details on the 2014-2015 QRPH facee-to-face meetings is available at ITI, PCC & QRPH Development Cycle Meetings.
The Timeline shows the main milestones of the development cycle, the Timeframe when they are typically expected to happen, and the actual date/time/location they have been Scheduled for this year. Specific meetings and their agendas and minutes are generally listed on the Quality, Research and Public Health Planning Committee and Quality, Research and Public Health Technical Committee pages.
Dates and times are U.S. Central Time (Chicago).

Roadmap
The matrix tracking the status of development for each of these profiles is available here.
QRPH current published documents can be found here.
Change Proposals
The Quality Research and Public Health domain committee follows the general IHE Change Proposal Process. QRPH specific details are listed below:
- CPs should be developed using the standard change proposal template.
- Submit incoming CP's to the Incoming Directory. You may choose to do so in one of two ways:
- E-mail the QRPH Technical Committee co-chair in charge of CPs (check Committees for current co-chair - subject the e-mail as "New QRPH CP")
- Directly update the directory if you have access to the ftp write password and e-mail the QRPH co-chairs to let them know of the new CP.
- The CPs are tracked on a Google Docs spreadsheet Change Proposals.
Current Domain Activities
The Quality, Research and Public Health Domain is pleased to announce the following Profiles to be developed during the 2014-2015 cycle:
- Birth and Fetal Death Reporting Enhanced (BFDR-E) Profile will extend the existing BFDR profile by specifying the mapping from the standard content captured by BFDR to both the HL7 Version 2.5.1: Birth & Fetal Death Reporting IG I and the HL7 CDA R2 BFDR (US Realm).
- Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Profile will add two additional CDA documents, namely Newborn Hearing Screening Outcome Report and Screening Result Report, and additional transaction to communicate an HL7 v2.6 Hearing Screening Message from the Order Filler to the Order Placer. As a result of this work, changes to the previously developed EHCP document specification will be updated to align with the screening result observation and outcome data representations.
- Family Planning (FP) Profile will define structured data capture in EHRs to facilitate interoperable exchange of information important for federal reporting requirements, measurement of clinical quality, and monitoring and evaluation of family planning programs.
- Structured Data Capture Content (SDC) Profile provides a secure method for which IHE Retrieve Form for Data Capture (RFD) can be utilized, along with additional Common Data Element (CDE) guidance and Meta-model for Framework Interoperability (MFI) form compliance, for exchanging EHR data.
