Rapid-Cycle Implementation of a Multi-Organization Registry for Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction Using Health Information Exchange Standards

摘要

Constructing multi-site specialty registries typically proves time-consuming. Electronic health record (EHR) data collected during clinical care affords a pragmatic approach to accelerating registry implementation. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is an increasingly common and morbid condition. Building a multi-site registry for HFpEF proved feasible using EHR data coded in standard terminologies (SNOMED CT, LOTNC) and shared via Health Information Exchanges.
