EMR queries for D2D – Expanded Indicators

A number of additional EMR-based indicators are included in the expanded indicators. Teams are encouraged to contribute data for as many of the D2D indicators as possible to help refine the  Quality Roll-up Indicator. Please find below some queries created for these indicators. If you’d like to contribute more queries (and for other EMRs) – or have any questions  – please contact us.

NOTE: All queries are tested and validated prior to release. However, changes that take place after the queries are released may affect how accurate they are. Such changes could include EMR software updates, new medications, and changes to standard clinical definitions. They may result in false positives, that is, patients being flagged who do not have the specified condition. They may also result in false negatives, that is, patients not being flagged who do have the condition. Queries are also limited by the quality of your EMR data. 

  Telus PS  A set of searches (.srx files) for the additional indicators for quality roll-up are available for download from this folder.
