Vojtech Huser • Survey results
Survey • Investigate current technologies • Convenience sample of institutions • Qualitative analysis (structured interviews) • Example scenario (Hodgkin Lymphoma) • 1. Number of HL patients in 2008 • 2. Strategy to enroll HL patients in 2010 • 3. Additional questions (additional tests, future plans) • Related Standards and Initiatives (BRIDG, Arden Syntax, caGrid, i2b2, CCHIT)
Institutions • Different types of institutions • university affiliated medical centers, integrated delivery network • Range of other factors • home-grown EHR vs. vendor, CTSA site • Institutions • Columbia U • U of Pittsburg • Marshfield Clinic • Intermountain Healthcare • City of Hope Medical Center
1. Query • How many Hodgkin Lymphoma patients in 2008? • Mediated data warehouse request • Non-mediated system • Example: Intermountain Healthcare • Clinical Programs framework • Designated analyst with expert data warehouse knowledge for a given domain http://intermountainhealthcare.org/about/quality/Pages/ClinicalPrograms.aspx
2. Screening • How can you enroll new HL patients (2010)? • Wide variation, active area of research • Data source: EHR system vs. Data Warehouse • Example1: Columbia university • Vigilance system • Standard: Arden Syntax • Example2: Marshfield Clinic • FlowGuide system (pilot phase) • Standard: XML process definition language
Example 2: Marshfield Clinic Editor Execution Engine
Patient self-referral example http://clinicaltrials.coh.org
3. Follow-up • Are you willing to undergo additional tests? Are you planning to be pregnant? • Paper based Case Report Forms (CRF) • Size of the study (local, consortium, industry) • Standards: role of BRIDG? • Research features of EHR systems (CCHIT) • Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) capabilities
Form setup example (Velos): Are you willing to undergo additional tests? Data element creation: Form creation: (XSLT+JavaScript; FieldID)
Survey conclusions • Existing standards are not equally adopted by surveyed sites • Limited ability of existing standards to represent and distribute a query, enrolment logic and follow-up questions • Survey limitations
Future • New initiatives • ERGO and OCRe • New Oct 2009 release of BRIDG (ver 3.0) • HL7: Clinical Research Filtered Query Service • CTMS vendors • Standard adoption • Proprietary solutions Niland (2008), Sim (2008), Tu (2008), Wang (2009)
