Aggregating treatment outcome data for quality monitoring

Purpose

1 Aggregates and consolidates patient treatment outcome data collected from diverse alternative medicine practices for ongoing quality monitoring and reporting.

2 Standardizes data from multiple treatment modalities (e.g., acupuncture, naturopathy, chiropractic) into unified outcome metrics.

3 Enables practitioners, clinics, and compliance teams to identify trends, assess efficacy, and fulfill regulatory reporting requirements.

4 Automates regular extraction, normalization, and storage of outcomes data from EMRs, surveys, and practice management software.

5 Sends result summaries, triggers alerts on anomalies, and provides dashboards for review to support care improvement.

Trigger Conditions

1 New treatment records or outcome updates entered into EMR systems.

2 Scheduled intervals (e.g., daily, weekly aggregation jobs).

3 Manual push by practitioner after a treatment session or audit.

4 Receipt of completed outcome surveys from patients.

5 API webhooks signaling data modified in source systems.
