IHE Quality, Research and Public Health Domain (QRPH) addresses the infrastructure and content necessary to share information relevant to quality improvement in electronic patient care and health care records, improves the liaison between the primary care system and clinical research and it serves in cases where population base surveillance is needed.   The three components addressing the different aspects of the QRPH domain have all in common the secondary or the repurposing of data.
IHE Quality, Research and Public Health Domain (QRPH) addresses the infrastructure and content necessary to:
*  Quality – Repurposing of data
* share information relevant to quality improvement,  
*  Clinical Research – Secondary use of data
* improve the liaison between the primary care system and clinical research and  
*  Public Health – Population base surveillance
* 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 QRPH work 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, the 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.

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.  
The Quality, Research and Public Health Committee has moved to a continuous development cycle. The three 4-day face-to-face working meetings in the first half of the calendar year, plus two 2-day selection meetings in the last calendar quarter, are replaced by four 4-day working meetings evenly spaced through the year. A portion of each meeting is devoted to planning tasks such as review and prioritizing of proposals, and the rest of the meeting would operate similar to our current technical meetings, except each work item could be in a different phase (volume 1 prep, public comment prep, TI prep).

==2007-2008 Activity==
The Quality Research and Public Health domain committee follows the general IHE [[Change Proposal Process]]. QRPH specific details are listed below:
 
The Quality, Research & Public Health Domain (QRPH) is currently focused on the workflow cycle of queries for data and selection of population cohorts from within the clinical record.  The cycle begins with a query defintion that can be incorporated into the EHR to identify appropriate patients that represent the desired cohort, and identify expected interventions as well as exceptions that would exclude individuals from the cohort.  Cohort selection and management should be enabled for concurrent management and analysis as well as for retrospective analysis. Methods for accessing patient-level clinical data to meet the requirements of the query were discussed in the framework reviewed in 2007 (Patient-Level Export of Quality Data <PEQD>).  The 2008 work effort completed two profiles and one white paper.

* [[Drug Safety Content]] Profile
* [[Clinical Research Data Capture]]
 
The QRPH Domain continues to seek volunteers for participation in current work effort, change proposals to existing profiles, and recommendations for new activities.  If you would like to participate, contact the [http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php?title=Quality_Planning_Committee QRPH Planning Committe] or the [http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php?title=Quality%2C_Research_and_Public_Health_Technical_Committee QRPH Technical Committee].
 
== IHE Quality, Research and Public Health Domain (QRPH): A Call for Participation ==
 
The Domain began under the sponsorship of the American College of Cardiology (ACC), the American Heart Association (AHA), the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) as outreach to Clinician Communities to Discuss How to Incorporate Quality Guidelines into Electronic Health Record Interoperability. Its mission is to address the infrastructure necessary to share information relevant to quality improvement in electronic patient care and health care records.  Beginning with a domain kickoff meeting April 11-12 2007 at the Four Points Sheraton, Chicago-O'Hare. The meeting focused on developing use cases to provide the basis for a Technical Framework to enable sharing of quality guidelines in electronic health record (EHR) applications and related systems.
 
Understanding the similarities for repurposing data for Quality, Research & Public Health, the Domain scope incorporates  the broader vision. Clinical, demographic and financial information about individuals is used routinely in the process of providing clinical care directly to patients. Information gained through direct care processes provided to patients has significant value with respect to the monitoring of disease patterns for known clinical processes regarding incidence, prevalence and situational awareness, and to the identification of new patterns of disease not previously known or anticipated. Public Health requirements therefore, are met through the re-purposing of clinically derived data for analysis. Such data are subsequently incorporated within existing Public Health population analyses and programs for direct outreach and condition management through registries and locally determined appropriate treatment programs or protocols. Similarly, information about care processes delivered to patients is used to identify adherence to expected evidence-based clinical care protocols or guidelines to determine the processes and/or outcomes that determine the quality of care provided by individual clinicians or groups of clinicians. Much of the data required for quality analyses exists within the clinical patient record and, similar to the examples provided for Public Health, those data can be re-purposed for analysis. The protocols for subsequent management of clinicians and individual patients with respect to quality data are often addressed as performance improvement or performance management or disease management initiatives on the level of populations and for individual patient care. Research and clinical trials, likewise, require identification of patterns of clinical presentation and processes to identify individual patients and groups of patients appropriate to consider for inclusion in research protocols and for whom consent might be sought. Subsequent management, follow up and clinical information requirements require similar infrastructure and high level content gathering capabilities as identified in Quality and Public Health. Hence, there are significant similarities among Quality, Research & Public Health requirements for re-purposing of existing clinical data and the subsequent management of patients and clinical care providers. The issues of specifications for patient selection, and for individual and aggregate (summary) reporting of data, and for privacy and security constraints for re-use (or secondary use) of patient or clinician-derived data can best be managed in an IHE Domain specifically focused in this area. Such a domain also provides focus where Quality, Research & Public Health experts can collaborate and coordinate activities. Globally there is a need to gather and report on secondary data used in public health, clinical decision support and research to improve quality, efficiency and safety of patient care delivery.
 
 
Current sponsors include the American Heart Association (AHA), the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

==The PCC specific CP Process ==
The following text explains what the process used by the ITI commitee in processing submitted CPs.  It is consistent with the general IHE CP process and is informative only.
 
# Submission into the [ftp://ftp.ihe.net/Patient_Care_Coordination/Maintenance2009/CPs/Incoming Incoming] directory. This is typically done via an email to the PCC Technical Committee co-chair in charge of CPs (currently Tone Southerland) or by directly updating the directory if you have access to the ftp write password.
# First consideration by the committee.  If CP is accepted it is given a CP #, assigned an editor, renamed to CP-PCC-xxxx-00.doc and placed in Assigned. If CP is rejected it is moved to Rejected and submitter is informed of explanation for rejection.  Likely reasons for rejection are: duplicate, merged, withdrawn or not enough information to understand the request.  Rejected CPs can be resubmitted with more information for reconsideration.
# CP numbering is managed on the [[PCC_Change_Proposal_Master_List | Change Proposal Master List page]]
# Committee works with editor to draft the CP.  Versions are kept in Assigned directory and numbered -00, -01, -02, etc.
# Committee decides CP is ready for ballot.  Latest version of CP is moved to Completed diretory and old versions are moved to old_versions. 
# Co-chair collects Completed CPs into a ballot.  The Ballot directory will be used for this.
# Ballot is released to the general community for voting
# Votes and comments are collected.  All yes votes means the CP passed ballot and moved to FinalText. No votes are resolved by the committee.  Sometimes CP is withdrawn, sometimes NO voter changes to yes vote after explanations.  CP may be updated in this process.  If updates are insignificant (clarification only) the CP is considered passed.  If updates are significant the CP is submitted for another ballot.
# CP approved in ballot are put in FinalText and scheduled to be integrated into the Technical Framework or Supplement.


== Directory Structure on FTP ==
==Testing Discussion and Notes==
* The following directory structure is used to manage CPs that are submitted as word documents. 
** '''Assigned:''' contains CPs that have been assigned an editor and are being actively worked on by the committee, i.e. Assigned status

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 and Committee Rosters

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:


QRPH Development Continuous Cycle

The Quality, Research and Public Health Committee has moved to a continuous development cycle. The three 4-day face-to-face working meetings in the first half of the calendar year, plus two 2-day selection meetings in the last calendar quarter, are replaced by four 4-day working meetings evenly spaced through the year. A portion of each meeting is devoted to planning tasks such as review and prioritizing of proposals, and the rest of the meeting would operate similar to our current technical meetings, except each work item could be in a different phase (volume 1 prep, public comment prep, TI prep).

Additional process details can be found here.
