Community & Education
Data Bank Education Forum
The Division of Practitioner Data Banks (DPDB) created a Data Bank Education Forum, made up of registered users who offer their feedback periodically, to help build a strong Data Banks community. The primary mission of the Forum is to discuss issues regarding the Integrated Querying and Reporting System (IQRS); identify enhancements that make interaction with the IQRS better; review current IQRS querying and reporting issues; and address Data Bank operational issues.
How It Works
The Data Bank reaches out to various geographical regions of users to convene Data Bank Education Forum meetings, gathering comments and suggestions from people who interact with the IQRS on a regular basis. Meetings are held periodically. See below for recent meeting information.
What's Been Accomplished
Recommendations made during past meetings that were developed into enhancements:
- Monthly e-mail summary of the entity's Continuous Query activity.
- Enhanced Continuous Query search capability allowing entities to find subjects using Continuous Query results.
- The ability to obtain a summary of historical queries and reports that were submitted by the entity within the last four years.
- Added a new report data field which allows entities to specify the internal reference number of the report in their files.
- The ability to save practitioner data when submitting a query or report.
- The ability to save credit card information in the IQRS.
