Session Objectives Provide an overview of how Query Health is progressing • How do the different parts of the Query Health solution fit togetherand their progress ? • Use Cases and Requirements • Standards and Specifications • Reference Implementation • Operational guidance and Pilots
Vision Enable a learning health system to understand population measures of health, performance, disease and quality, while respecting patient privacy, to improve patient and population health and reduce costs.
Distributed Query Outcomes • Identify/Develop standards, specifications and Implementation Guides for distributed queries • Deliver a robust, open source Reference Implementation that implement the standards and specifications • Create operational guidelines and templates for Query Health pilots • Pilot the Reference Implementation and provide feedback on standards and specifications
Why a Distributed Query ? Don’t wait for a pendulum swing here: Privacy is a healthcare constant • Data Sources maintain HIPAA-mandated contractual control of their PHI • Local content experts maintain a close relationship with the data • Data Sources have the best understanding of their data and its uses; valid use and interpretation of findings requires input from the Data Sources. • Easier to manage consent • Lessens scale of breach / risk exposure / competitive exposure • Accuracy, timeliness, flexibility, sustainability
Distributed queries unambiguously define a population from a larger set Questions about disease outbreaks, prevention activities, health research, quality measures, etc.
Distributed Query NetworksVoluntary, No Central Planning Community of participants that voluntarily agree to interact with each other. There will be many networks; requestors and responders may participate in multiple networks. Query Requestors Participating Responders
How would a distributed query work? Aggregated Data Patient Data Note: All patient level data stays behind the firewall. Data Source Information Requester Query & Results Reviewer 1. EHR / Clinical Record (Patient Data) Translate patient data 3. Distribute Query to Data Sources 2. Query Health Data Element Mapping 5. Sends Query Results to Information Requestor 4. Execute Query , format & return Results Responding Organization Firewall
What are we Standardizing ? • What data can be queried ? • How are queries represented ? • How are results represented ? • How are queries and results exchanged ?

CEDD Cont’d Data Element Definition: Data Element Implementation Guidance– i2B2
CEDD and C2C Outputs • Healthcare Industry has a significant gap in creating, managing and publishing “Value Sets” mapped to common concepts. • Community recommends to the HITSC to work with organizations such as NLM, NQF and others to set up the above capability. • For Query Health, the suggestion was to start with NQF CQM based Value Sets and improve from there. • This is a very good source as evidenced by the community and Query Health will start from these value sets. • In order to share value sets in a standard way, Query Health will adopt the IHE SVS Restful web service approach and will pilot that using the NQF and i2B2 Value Sets. • The CEDD is a significant specification to promote common definitions of queries across multiple Data Sources • Enhance the CEDD to include the vocabulary mapping, value sets for elements where applicable and map to the reference implementation frameworks of i2B2, hQuery and PopMedNetto ensure completeness • Multiple tools and interfaces can be used for Query Composition, but simple intuitive ways are necessary and the concept hierarchy representation of i2B2 has been proven to work in the real world. • Adopt i2B2 approach and create the hierarchy for Query Health pilots.

The QueryNew HQMF • Health Quality Measure Format • HQMF newly modified to support the needs for dynamic population queries: • More executable • Simplified • Advantages for query • Avoids “yet another standard” • Secure (vs procedural approach) • Works across diverse platforms • Benefits – Speed and Cost
What are the major modifications • Addition of business names to criteria and section elements to translate HQMF to executable code • Inclusion of Variable definitions which allow for re-use of definitions within HQMF and also allow for easier translation to executable code • Addition of Precondition conjunctions • Complete List at http://wiki.siframework.org/Query+Health+-+Query+Format
