Domain Activities

The Quality, Research and Public Health Domain developed the following Profiles 2015-2016 cycle:

  • Quality Measure Execution – Early Hearing (QME-EH) Profile will specify how to create and consume standard electronic patient-level and aggregate-level quality reports for the Newborn Hearing Screening (CMS53v4) electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) defined by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) program.
  • Aggregate Data Exchange (ADX) is a Content Module profile which allows for the representation of reported public health data. It will most typically be used to represent routinely reported aggregate data such as the numerators and denominators which can be used in the construction of public health indicators."
  • Content Based Document Types (CDT) Profile allows researchers/ epidemiologists/ public health/ clinicians to perform a research of clinical documents available in a Clinical Community based on the document content. It is intended to identify documents that may store clinical data of interest. This profile assumes that the Clinical Community is organized as an XDS (Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing profile, defined by the IHE IT Infrastructure domain) environment.
  • XDS-Clinical Data Retrieve (XDS-CDR) white paper is intended to provide guidance about how to build a standardized infrastructure using IHE profiles to allow the sharing of information (both data and documents) between a Clinical Community and a Quality Research and Public Health Community. It allows both the reuse of clinical data for clinical research, health surveillance, epidemiology, health services, public health, healthcare quality evaluation purposes and the use of research/quality/public health data for the patient's care.
  • The RPE4ICP white paper will describe how a standards-based business process definition (BPMN) may be leveraged to describe evidence-based integrated care pathways (ICPs) and how these might be pervasively operationalized within a health information exchange (HIE). Specifically, the white paper will report on prototyping efforts to leverage the RPE profile to incorporate such capability within the OpenHIE infrastructure using example ICPs representing HIV care and EPI-based immunizations.
