AQI/NACOR Integration and Data Submission

QMD has developed a number of application program interfaces (APIs) to allow for data import, export and transfer between applications. One such example of APIs created by QMD is the interface for use with AQI's NACOR database.

Submission Process

Data Extract

We extract data from systems used by your practice including anesthesia billing, practice management and other systems (e.g., EMR, AIMS, etc.)

Merging

We merge data from multiple sources into one file prior to submission to AQI.

Formatting & Submission

We map and format data in accordance with AQI data specifications and submit your data to AQI NACOR.



Data collection

The Registry will collect 4 types of data including practice demographics, case specific data, outcomes data and risk adjustment data. The minimum level of data required to participate in AQI is practice demographics (self-reported through the AQI website) and case specific data from the practice billing software. Every anesthesia practice has this information available.



Data submission to AQI

  • Your practice does not need IT support staff to submit data from your anesthesia billing, practice management and other systems (e.g., custom quality management systems, EMR, AIMS, etc.) to AQI.
  • QMD will handle monthly or quarterly uploads to NACOR, perform all checks and updates.
  • Our implementation team can have the upload function completed with very little effort required on the part of your administrative staff.
  • QMD "maps" the data from your systems into the format expected by the NACOR import function (the AQI's Anesthesia Record XML schema) so that the data can be easily passed without a great deal of user intervention.
  • Automated submission via secure FTP to AQI/NACOR.
  • QMD updates your API to ensure that users stay current with NACOR format changes implemented by the AQI without direct involvement or interaction.
