Provides assistance gathering:

• Preliminary, anonymous data for feasibility, grant applications and statistical sample-size estimates

• IRB-approved case-finding--for study enrollment (mailings, phone solicitation), chart review, and cohort/case-control studies

• Research data extracts - monthly/quarterly integrated extracts from EPR, POE, ORMIS, lab/PDS, billing systems, vaccination/transfusion/culture data, etc.

Future Plans

• My Research Patients’ Outpatient Diagnosis• My Research Patients’ Procedures• Alerts for significant events

– Participant admission– Lab value out of range

• Evaluate Microsoft cohort discovery tool• Evaluate use of i2b2 with data from EPR2020• Provide result data to Case Report Forms in Research System• Interface to Specimen Tracking Tool (caTissue)• Natural Language Processing to mine documents
