Abstract:
In the CTSA era there is great interest in aggregating and comparing populations across institutions. These sites likely represent data differently in their clinical data warehouses and other databases. Clinical data warehouses frequently are structured in a generalized way that supports many constituencies. For research, there is a need to transform these heterogeneous data into a shared representation, and to perform categorization and interpretation to optimize the data representation for investigators. We are addressing this need by extending an existing clinical database query system, PROTEMPA, that can execute temporal queries and extract longitudinal summaries of patient data. The extended system allows specifying data types of interest in federated databases, extracting the data into a shared representation, transforming it through categorization and interpretation, and loading it into a registry database that can be refreshed. Such a registry’s access control, data representation and query tools can be tailored to the needs of research while keeping local databases as the source of truth.
Speaker Bio:
Andrew Post is an MD- and PhD-trained researcher in Biomedical Informatics. His research focuses on clinical data warehouses and querying of temporal patterns in time-stamped patient data. He is Chief Clinical/Translational Informatics Architect of the Emory Center for Comprehensive Informatics and works closely with Emory Healthcare in providing clinical informatics expertise in quality improvement projects. He is faculty lead of the Analytic Information Warehouse at Emory Healthcare, and he leads the Enhanced Registries effort of the Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute.
