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 [http://www.himss.org Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS)] and the [http://www.rsna.org Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)] and manages the [http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php/Profiles#IHE_Quality.2C_Research.2C_and_Public_Health_Profiles Quality Profiles].

==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).

==Change Proposals==

__NOTOC__

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 [http://wiki.ihe.net/images/1/14/IHE_Change_Proposal-Template-V10.1.docx standard change proposal template].
* Submit incoming CP's to the [ftp://iheyr2@ftp.ihe.net/Quality/TF_Maintenance/CPs/01%20Submitted/ Submitted 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 [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlA2kOz33tdvdEdzQjE3cnJMSU1pVnZDX0tpTDdLb1E&hl=en_US Change Proposals].
