Overview
• “Hooking” People on Informatics
• How We Work: the technology and the team
• What’s on the Horizon
– Enhanced Registry Integration and data delivery
with REDCap
– Collaboration via CTSAs and PCORI opportunity
to generalize your research findings
Biomedical Informatics Can Help Your Research
• We have tools and expertise to manage data
and convert it into information
• REDCap and CRIS – enter and manage data
• HERON – fish for data from the hospital/clinic
• Biweekly Frontiers Clinical Informatics Clinics
– Tuesday 4-5 pm in 1028 Dykes Library.
– Next session September 17, 2013.
You’re that fisherman: wanting to land data to
answer your research hypothesis

Why so many fish?
Current Goal: Build Hatchery, Manage the Fishery
Second Goal: If you need help fishing, get a guide

Nightmare: looks like a nice river, but can’t catch fish
• I’ll just enter everything in Excel….
• What if I lose or accidentally sort my
spreadsheet?
• How to I let students only review deidentified data?
• Hospital/Clinic is making me use this
Electronic Medical Record and I get
nothing in return...
Little White Salmon River, Washington State, last Summer in July
Sometimes, You’re willing to enter data/buy fish:
REDCap: Research Electronic Data Capture
• https://redcap.kumc.edu
– It uses the same username
and password as your KUMC
email.
– Non-KUMC researchers can
request an affiliate account
through Frontiers CTSA
office
– Check out the training
materials under videos
• Case Report Forms
– (see left) registries, trials
• Conduct Surveys
– Similar to “SurveyMonkey”
REDCap: think Fish Tank you manage

I want to go fishing, not fill a fish tank (REDCap)
Use HERON: a managed fishery
Bonneville Hatchery: Trout, Salmon, Sturgeon, Columbia River, Oregon
Central CTSA Informatics Aim: Create a data “fishing”
platform: HERON, https://heron.kumc.edu
• 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.
HERON: Getting a Fishing License
Single sign-on

• Fill out System Access Agreements to sponsor students/staff
• Fill out Data Use Agreement to request data export
• No Limit!!! IRB Protocol Not Required to view or pull deidentified data
• Must be on campus or use VPN or https://access.kumed.com
• Check http://frontiersresearch.org/frontiers/HERON-Introduction

Without getting bit
HERON as Central Aim to CTSA
“Signals” of Health: Think of each source electronic
system as an EKG, blood pressure cuff, arterial line
Hypothesis #2: Computer +
Clinical Process-> Better Health?
Hypothesis #1:
Admin + Clinical
-> Better Knowledge?
How the Team Works: HERON Evolves Every Month
• 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

“Who’s Using HERON” and collaboration approaches
• Find a colleague
• Talk with hospital, clinic to
understand workflow
• Attend bi-weekly clinics
• Watch the videos:
http://frontiersresearch.org/frontie
rs/informatics-training-videos
• Request a consult

HERON De-identification: Remove HIPAA 18
identifiers -> non human subjects research
• HIPAA Safe Harbor De-identification
– Remove 18 identifiers and randomly date shifting by up to 365 days back
in time
• Downside: can’t 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 won’t 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 13th patient’s offset
might be -192.
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
Aligning Clinical Research Informatics for Quality:
Registry Abstraction and Data Delivery
• 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
Next Steps: A Learning Healthcare System
• 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.
