Data collection made easier
The Query Connector allows your jurisdiction to query a wide network of healthcare providers through your existing data use agreements, giving you access to more complete and timely data.
What is it?
The Query Connector is a data collection tool that uses an intuitive querying process to help your staff quickly retrieve patient records and relevant case information from a wide range of healthcare providers — all without the need for a direct connection. It does this by leveraging your jurisdiction's existing data use agreements, like the Data Use and Reciprocal Support Agreement (DURSA), while also supporting innovative standards for data sharing, like the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA).
How does it work?
Public health staff can interact with the Query Connector manually by entering simple patient details — such as name, date of birth, or medical identifiers — along with a query, into the web-based portal. The Query Connector surfaces patient data relevant to the use case in an easily readable format, making data more usable for case investigation.
