Recording Clinical Data Robert Pickard Professor of UrologyNewcastle University, UK robert.pickard@newcastle.ac.uk
Why, What, Where, How Things to consider • Compliance with data protection act • Compliance with NHS ethics • Compliance with policies and standards of NHS organisation • Status of data collector with NHS organisation • Common sense
Why Map to research question • Human disease phenotype • Demographics • Disease characteristics • Patient-driven characteristics such as QoL • Qualitative or ethnographic research • Outcomes
What Define your minimum data set • Collect enough but no more • Abstract from records • Electronic • Paper • Samples (pathology) • Qualitative • Tapes, videos, filed notes
Where You need permission • The patient (consent) • Research Ethics Committee (for anything that is additional to standard care) • Human tissue act (material transfer agreement) • Audit committee • Caldicott Guardian • Honorary contract (research passport)
How Consider • Medium • Paper, electronic, audio, samples – BACK-UP • Identifiers • Anonymous (no audit trail) • Pseudoanonymous (audit trial) – most usual • Patient – identifiable data – Minefield (don’t go there) • Names • Numbers • Sufficient personal details
