CHRONICLE

What Is CHRONICLE?

The Chronic Disease Registry Linking Electronic Health Record Data (CHRONICLE) is an automated, near-real-time surveillance system designed to capture clinical chronic disease information from electronic health records (EHRs) and support longitudinal chronic disease monitoring statewide.
 
CHRONICLE's timely and detailed data will improve our understanding of Michigan’s chronic disease burden, support the identification of priority populations, and drive the development of effective interventions to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities.
 
With support from clinical partners, development of CHRONICLE began in 2021 and since has expanded to accommodate additional chronic conditions, data sources, user types, and functionalities. Currently, CHRONICLE captures information regarding select chronic conditions, including asthma, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sickle cell disease, and stroke.
