QICore Implementation Guide
QICore-AdverseEvent An adverse event is any untoward occurrence during treatment that must be reported, for example, to a clinical study sponsor. AEs also include reportable serious medical errors such as those defined by National Quality Forum (see http://www.qualityforum.org/Topics/ SREs/List_of_SREs.aspx). Some AEs can involve conditions such as "recurring headaches" but others do not, such as accidental falls, surgical errors, sexual abuse of patient, and sudden death. An adverse event can be caused by exposure to some agent (e.g., a medication, immunization, food, or environmental agent). An adverse reaction can range from a mild reaction, such as a harmless rash to a severe and life-threatening condition. They can occur immediately or develop over time. For example, a patient may develop a rash after taking a particular medication.
Clinical Quality Improvement Framework
CQIF-KnowledgeModule A knowledge module is a description of a quality improvement function made available by a knowledge evaluation service. A module may correspond directly to an artifact or group of related artifacts, or it may correspond to functionality provided by the service and not necessarily associated with any tangible knowledge artifact. The knowledge module serves as the descriptive unit for functionality supported by a knowledge service such as a decision support service, measure evaluation service, or other quality improvement service.
CQIF-KnowledgeRequest A knowledge request is a formal request for the evaluation of some artifact or group of artifacts as part of a clinical quality workflow. This may be part of a direct, point-of-care, workflow, such as a decision support request, or it may be part of a clinical quality assessment such as a request to calculate a particular quality measure.
CQIF-KnowledgeResponse A knowledge response is the formal response to a previous knowledge request, describing the result of the evaluation of the requested artifact or artifacts. This information is used as part of the knowledgeEvaluation operation definition.
CQIF-GuidanceRequest A guidance request is a derivative of a knowledge request specifically focused on the decision support use case, providing information relevant to decision support such as workflow and user context.
CQIF-GuidanceResponse A guidance response is the formal response to a previous guidance request. It is a derivative of the knowledge response that provides additional information relevant specifically to clinical decision support such as a description of any proposed actions to be taken.
CQIF-GuidanceArtifact Defines a structure to represent the decision support-specific aspects of knowledge modules.
