Wolters Kluwer debuts GI query tool
Wolters Kluwer Health has released a query tool that assists the collection of data for the GI Quality Improvement Consortium (GIQuIC) benchmarking initiative, an educational organization specializing in gastroenterology.
The Bethesda, Md.-based GIQuIC was established by the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) to support quality improvement efforts by creating a national GI endoscopy data repository of Endoscopy Quality Measures. This data will be used to provide benchmarking reports, identify and address care gaps and collect data for use in outcomes studies and other quality initiatives, according to Wolters Kluwer, a Minneapolis-based health information provider.
ProVation MD helps GIQuIC data collection and submission by guiding physicians through the process of capturing required, conditionally required and optional data elements. The ProVation MD query tool then organizes collected data in a specific format that can be submitted to the GIQuIC registry.
Physicians, hospitals and ASCs that participate in GIQuIC’s benchmarking initiative, which launched in July 2010, will initially collect and electronically report on 84 quality indicators for colonoscopy, the company added.
