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.

−
== 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.

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.

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 Submitted Directory. You may choose to do so in one of two ways:
    1. 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")
    2. 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.
