Building the
Evidence Infrastructure
for Chinese Medicine


The QiBo Institute is creating a common data model and clinical standards for capturing Chinese medical practice in North America. Together we can improve care, strengthen training, and inform policy with reliable evidence.
EXPLORE OUR MISSIONSEE OUR WORK

A Rich Clinical Tradition. A Modern Research Mission.

Chinese medicine practitioners generate large amounts of meaningful clinical information. Differences in terminology, documentation, and record structure make collective analysis difficult. We are building the shared language and infrastructure to change that. Our goals for 2027:

What We Are Building

01

Common Data Model

A shared structure for representing conditions, patterns, symptoms, findings, treatments, and outcomes.

02

Clinical Documentation Standards

Practical standards that capture meaningful information without disrupting patient care.

03

Research-Ready Data

Structured, de-identified data suitable for analysis and appropriately governed research access.

04

A Learning System

A closed loop in which clinical experience informs research, research improves training, and training improves future care.

05

Measurable Impact

Better outcomes for patients, stronger education, and credible information for policymakers and payers.

OUR VISION

A Closed-Loop
Learning System

Real-world practice fuels a cycle of learning and improvement that benefits practitioners, patients, and the public.
