Query for Existing Data Profile
Summary
The Query for Existing Data Profile (QED) supports dynamic queries for clinical data, , including vital signs, problems, medications, immunizations, diagnostic results, procedures and visit history.
Benefits
The collection of this data from health care IT applications can improve outcomes by supporting health management, substantially reducing health care costs. More and more, special purpose care management systems are used to support wellness programs, public health monitoring including tracking immunizations and infectious diseases, and to manage the care of patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and cancer.
These systems often include decision support capabilities, using evidence-based guidelines for the treatment and care of patients. They often use ad-hoc data gathering to collect information from many different sources to populate data repositories, which are then used to support and manage care for different patient populations. Information is provided to these systems from a number of sources. This profile helps to define the standards to ensure data flow to between these systems.
