Hi Brian,

At this moment, Allina Health does not provide de-identified clinical notes to 
our researchers. But, we are looking into doing this in the near future via 
i2b2.

Thank you,
Narayana

Subject: De-id notes questions

Hi everyone,

A researcher at UIOWA is interested in knowing whether any GPC sites currently 
provide de-identified clinical notes to researchers.  The broad aim is to link 
clinical notes to other GPC data for a proposal on chemotherapy among 
overweight / obese patients with cancer to assess reasons for chemo dose 
variations.

Can sites please weigh in as to whether de-identified clinical notes are ever 
provided to researchers?

If so, answers to any/all of the following would be great to know:

  1.  Does your site use any standard processes to de-d clinical notes?  If so, 
can you please describe?
  2.  Are other attributes like provider, encounter info, etc. available along 
with the actual notes?
  3.  Are certain types of clinical notes not captured or not made available to 
researchers (e.g., phone consults that do not result in a provider referral, 
etc.)?
  4.  Have de-id notes ever been shared with outside researchers (i.e., 
researchers not currently affiliated with your site)?

Thanks!
Brian
