Subject: Procrastination aka AMIA-CRI deadline Sept 25

I've been too consumed with 6 month evaluation, data sharing agreements, and 
figuring out if we are on track so I missed the call yesterday.

I am on the AMIA-CRI scientific program committee and was thinking: can people 
exchange their thoughts on this email thread proposed panels or abstracts 
either based on work within the GPC or with other key partners at CDRNs PPRNs?

So far here, I know that Vince Leonardo and Dan Connolly have been working with 
Alex on the i2b2-R integration work to also support population health so 
Vince is working on at least an abstract for a poster.

I could imagine we'd also have other things or could wait:

-  I2b2 - PCORI ontology CDM work with Harvard and Pitt

-  Babel and observations

-  LEK to information patient experience  and data sharing

What are other people thinking?

RE: GPC Dev notes for 9/9/2014

2014-09-11 Thread Apathy,Nate
Hi all,

In reviewing the notes I realized that I never responded to the first question 
for Cerner around integrating research into the clinical workflow. From a 
Cerner perspective, we have a few solutions that do this, including 
PowerTrials, Discovere, and our new OnCore interface that works with 
PowerTrials. PowerTrials is a solution for entering protocols and recruiting 
patients for a study, and includes an indicator in the banner bar of each 
patient's chart who is on a trial, to alert all clinicians that encounter that 
individual's chart. PT allows researchers to manage accrual, recruit patients 
for studies, and includes a Clinical Research tab in the primary chart that 
is dedicated to the available clinical trials at the institution as well as 
gives providers the ability to check what trials a patient might be eligible 
for. Eligibility screenings are built into the Cerner Millennium system via 
Discern Rules that can be designed to logically evaluate the 
inclusion/exclusion criteria for
  a study within a patient's chart, or across the entire patient population.

The newest development with PowerTrials, since it is not a full CTMS within 
Millennium, is our OnCore interface, which we have established with our alpha 
client and are now prepared to implement more broadly. We've been working 
closely with Forte to establish that relationship, and one of our folks, Ryan 
Moog, is actually at Forte today discussing the next steps for improving that 
interface and making the implementation more repeatable across clients.

Let me know if I need to update the notes and re-send the pdf.

Nate Apathy

RE: Embed research within healthcare systems

2014-09-11 Thread Apathy,Nate
Hi Russ,



Dan mentioned to me earlier that this thread was intended for these 
discussions, so I copied over our thread from the notes chain here for easier 
retrieval in the archive.



So far, CMH is implementing Discovere and has been using PowerTrials to track 
an adverse-event study for the past couple of years. Discovere is slated to be 
fully live by the end of the year, at which point they will most likely be 
adding several studies (with a focus on 1y longitudinal studies). The biggest 
EHR integration point for Discovere is that there is an Integrated Data Capture 
(IDC) function that allows study designers to map data elements in Cerner to 
data elements in Discovere for automatic population of values that are recorded 
in the Cerner chart, to reduce duplication and manual data entry.



I think as we flesh these functionalities out further, we'll definitely find 
some common points of functionality to leverage for PCORI!

In a KUMC GPC planning meeting today, we realized we'd like to identify leading 
sites for embedding research withing healthcare systems.

Who has a well-trodden path to getting changes deployed in your EMR and 
clinical workflow? Care to give an example or two? What was the nature of the 
change, and about how long did it take to plan and execute?

The deadlines are a ways out, but my (very limited) experience suggests that 
getting changed deployed in a production EMR should be planned well over 6 
months in advance.

Re: Embed research within healthcare systems

2014-09-11 Thread Bonnie Westra
At Minnesota, the cancer center had OnCore prior to going enterprize wide
with it.  At the time the cancer center used it initially, OnCore did not
have the potential for integrating data with Epic.

Currently, most data capture for clinical trials is done using case report
forms in Oncore - rather than Epic

For BMT - there are smart forms and templated notes built in Epic at point
of care with the goal to flow data from Epic to Clarity to the cancer
center database.  This has been a 2 year project and reports of the data
are not yet available.



Changing the Epic build for an RCT protocol may not be the highest priority
for the health system, given all the clinical documentation issues they
need to address.

Building structured notes or flowsheets may be doable, but then it requires
an Epic builder.  If the data are not part of routine required data, then
it still will require research staff to enter the data.  It may be easier
to build a PCORI database initially.



Beacon - now includes staging and staging data should be capture in Epic
going forward, now can that data be in Clarity and AHC-IE



Josh, our CTMS project manager notes that the CTMS Implementation roadmap
includes some data integration with EPIC based on a combination of need and
technical capabilities.  The integration items at a high level include:
 Demographic data pulled from EPIC to OnCore for registering clinical trial
subjects, sending basic protocol information to EPIC, sending basic subject
data to EPIC to indicate that subject is on a specific protocol and sending
the OnCore billing grid to EPIC.



The capability does exist, and was successfully tested when working at the
Masonic Cancer Center, for us to also bring in lab data from HL7 data
sources into OnCore electronic case report forms.  This functionality is
not currently on the CTMS Implementation roadmap.



Fairview has trained some staff in research on setting up the basic
research protocol components in EPIC which will be needed for the OnCore
integration to work.



The OnCore vendor has been working on plans to expand the EPIC integration
capabilities.   Yale is leading the way on much of this work.  I hope to
learn more during the conference this week.

I don't know if this is the best way to reply, but the answer is no.  We need 
to decide the final inclusion/exclusion criteria at the Sep 19 meeting.

Presently one criterion we have not tested is whether we can identify breast 
cancer surgery (we currently say to be included must have had primary surgery 
for breast cancer in a GPC medical center).  Perhaps Tim Metcalfe can help 
identify whether there is an appropriate tumor registry variable for this.
