PCQC Hosts Data Dictionary Office Hours January 2021:

PCQC has been working with partners at PCQN and GPCQA to harmonize their data dictionaries and create a patient-level data dictionary that promotes best practices in palliative care.

Additionally, PCQC has been working with partners at CAPC and NPCRC to update the National Palliative Care Registry™ data dictionary and to transfer all historical data to the PCQC registry.

The PCQC registry will launch in early 2021. Prior to the launch of the new registry, we are excited to share more information about the data dictionaries with you and to answer your questions.
