You are building federated health infrastructure. You search "QIS federated genomics" or "QIS protocol healthcare" and the first result is a 2004 JAMIA paper: QIS: A Framework for Biomedical Database Federation (PMC524633). The paper is serious work. Oxford authorship. MEDLINE, GenBank, PDB. It describes a mediator-wrapper architecture for federating heterogeneous biomedical databases. Is this the thing you were looking for? If you arrived here because someone referenced the QIS Protocol in the context of distributed AI, edge intelligence, or outcome routing - the answer is no.
