Ill just enter everything in Excel. What if I lose or accidentally sort my spreadsheet? How to I let students only review de- identified data? Hospital/Clinic is making me use this Electronic Medical Record and I get nothing in return...

Slide 26

Bonneville Hatchery: Trout, Salmon, Sturgeon, Columbia River, Oregon I want to go fishing, not fill a fish tank (REDCap) Use HERON: a managed fishery

Slide 27

Get a License: Develop business agreements, policies, data use agreements and oversight. Get a Fishing Rod and Bass Boat: Implement open source NIH funded (i.e. i2b2 https://www.i2b2.org/) initiatives for accessing data. Know what your catching: Transform data into information using the NLM UMLS Metathesaurus as our vocabulary source. Stock Different Tasty Fish: link clinical data sources to enhance their research utility. Central CTSA Informatics Aim: Create a data fishing platform: HERON, https://heron.kumc.edu

Slide 28

HERON as Central Aim to CTSA

Slide 37

Signals of Health: Think of each source electronic system as an EKG, blood pressure cuff, arterial line Hypothesis #1: Admin + Clinical -> Better Knowledge? Hypothesis #2: Computer + Clinical Process-> Better Health?

Slide 38

Goal: stable monthly process, minimal downtime Complete rebuild of the repository, not HL7 messaging update based. Two databases: create new DB while old DB is in use. When the new DB is ready, switch over i2b2 to serve customers fresh data. Initial Files from Clinical Organizations Export KUH Epic Clarity relational database instead of Cache/MUMPS. Monthly file from clinic billing system (GE IDX). Demographics, services, diagnoses, procedures, and Frontiers research participant flag. UHC CDB hospital quality, Tumor Registry, Biospecimens Extract Transform Load (ELT) processes largely SQL (Oracle) Wrapped in python scripts. Goals for a monthly release (21 months in a row so far): Fresh data. Example: another month of visits = millions of facts New types of data. Example: microbiology New functionality: Example: link data by encounter across clinical and financial sources; distinguish medication administration from prescription How the Team Works: HERON Evolves Every Month

Slide 42

HIPAA Safe Harbor De-identification Remove 18 identifiers and randomly date shifting by up to 365 days back in time Downside: cant do seasonal studies without IRB approval to go back and get actual dates In general, tack on 7 months when wanting volume for the last year. Resulting in non-human subjects research data but treated as a limited data set from a system access perspective. System users and data recipients agree to treat as a limited data set (acknowledging re-identification risk) To be addressed: For now, we wont add free text such as progress notes with text scrubbers (DeID, MITRE Identification Scrubber toolkit) Date Shift example: Patient was born August 13, 1968, had their blood pressure measured on November 28, 2012. Each month dates shifted, ex: to -15 for January release: New birthday is July 29, 1968 and the blood pressure measurement occurred on November 13, 2012. For another patient, their offset might be -278. Next month the Aug 13 th patients offset might be -192. HERON De-identification: Remove HIPAA 18 identifiers -> non human subjects research

Slide 43

Repurposing i2b2 Clinical Research Infrastructure for Inpatient Quality Improvement i2b2 largely ambulatory or population/genomics focused Is i2b2 version 1.6 with same financial encounter and modifiers now useful for inpatient research? Goal: understand medication timing and antibiotic selection Suspect vancomycin preferred Validate HERON medications Especially administration timing

Slide 44

REDCap registries into i2b2 allows intuitive exploration Researchers may need less abstraction as data is extracted from the EMR. i2b2 into REDCap: inherit security model, graphical/export tools Aligning Clinical Research Informatics for Quality: Registry Abstraction and Data Delivery

Slide 45

Evidence Generation: Trials post Electronic Health Records (EHR) Learning Healthcare System Institute of Medicine Reports: 2006 onward. 2011 Report: Digital Infrastructure for the Learning Health System: The Foundation for Continuous Improvement in Health and Health Care Information Technology (IT) serves as the functional engine for the continuous learning system Effective Biomedical Research Organizations will integrate Medical Informatics and Clinical Research Informatics capabilities with Operational Clinical Systems of the Healthcare Systems EHR Standardization and collection of data becomes critical to the cost effective research capacity of the University. EHRs (Cerner/Epic), clinical research systems like (REDCap/Oncore/Velos), and ultimately translational bioinformatics systems will need to be managed holistically as opposed to siloed.
