But it's a five-year average.
We can rely on Census not to release PHI . . .

The tract identifier identifies a geographic location with less than 20,000 
people in it, in most cases. That puts it on the PHI side of the "Safe Harbor" 
method, no?

Health Information in Accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and 
Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule"

 the "Safe Harbor" method:
(2)(i) The following identifiers of the individual or of relatives, employers, 
or household members of the individual, are removed:
(B) All geographic subdivisions smaller than a state, including street address, 
city, county, precinct, ZIP code, and their equivalent geocodes, except for the 
initial three digits of the ZIP code if, according to the current publicly 
available data from the Bureau of the Census:
(1) The geographic unit formed by combining all ZIP codes with the same three 
initial digits contains more than 20,000 people; and
(2) The initial three digits of a ZIP code for all such geographic units 
containing 20,000 or fewer people is changed to 000

Census tract information *is* averaged, and is not PHI.
That is why Census is willing to release it.

Comment (by meiliu):

 Our most recent IRB protocol is in the attachment.
 - As noted in the protocol, "...variables such as income, educational  
attainment, likelihood of employment, poverty status, owner-occupied house  
value, and health insurance coverage derived from geocoded address data  will 
be used only as average values, not tied to any specific individual  but rather 
to study populations."
 - I did not find any language on sharing census tract information.
 I've discussed this with Tamara McMahon and agree that since census tract  may 
be PHI, we currently don't have the governance to take approach 1.

 Welcome any input from other sites.

Comment:

 I see "V. Geocoding: Protocol, Core Variables, Geographic Levels, Data  Table 
Structure (Bernard Black)" on the agenda for the May 15-16 meeting.

 In dropbox, I see `Geocoding-ACS-overview-2017-04-25a-bb.xlsx`. I take it  
that's the most relevant document, though I see several others in that  folder. 
If this is not the only current document, please let me know.

 Alona, if you have a sketch of the Data Table Structure, please share it.
 I see `draft_file_structure_NUgeocoding.xlsx` but it only relates places  to 
attributes of those places; it doesn't show which patients go with  which 
places.

Dan:  The May meeting will include a number of people who have not been closely 
involved with the project as of yet.
We will have a discussion, and then we will see what issues emerge . . .
We will circulate materials in advance of the meeting, but maybe a week in 
advance, not yet.  We're not there yet.
The "definitions", in their then current form, will be part of those materials.

Subject: next-d medications issues?

I see "v. Medications (Abel Kho)" on the next-d May 15-16 agenda. Are there 
issues to resolve? Are there some relevant materials to study?

I made some changes to the relevant parts of the Oracle version of the SQL 
code, but I don't believe they're substantive; I don't believe they change the 
results (though they improve performance about 6x).

Dan:  The “dating system” is to have the filename include most recent date and 
the initials of the person who last modified the file.
We sometimes forget to update, however.
So the files you found are the most current.
If helpful, Alona call tell you (or I can) which of the definitions I have 
reviewed and which are as yet un-reviewed, and hence more likely to change in 
the near future.
You can run compare documents in word to see what has changed, but frankly, for 
definitional part 2, which is under active revision, that may only produce a 
mess.

Perhaps Definitions_Part2-2017-04-19-bb.docx is actually current.

Ugh... dropbox sort by Modified doesn't work as expected. It would be more 
convenient for me if we used Dropbox's built-in version control rather than 
having separate filenames for each revision. But I gather that's not convenient 
for folks that sync with their local filesystem and want to see all the 
versions. Oh well.

Meanwhile... is there an edited change log? I could perhaps use MS Word to 
figure out what has changed, but I'm used to version control change messages 
that explain why things changed.

Comment (by dconnolly):

 George, I'm not surprised you get no results for fasting; I don't think I
 get any either. But babel shows 6777-7 is much used at MCW; that's in the
 list of codes for random glucose, yes? Do you not get any results there
 either?

 Meanwhile, note the work on `lab_review.csv` I haven't integrated it
 into the query yet; i.e. replaced the hard-coded list of LOINC codes with
 a join on a table built from `lab_review.csv`.

 Meanwhile, Dr. Kho is refining the lab spreadsheet. 5792-7 seems to be the
 most recorded glucose lab at MCW (based on c_totalnum from Babel). That
 row in Dr. Kho's Apr 4 spreadsheet says "No". I'm not sure why; he plans
 to include rationale in his next revision. 5792-7 is also not in the SQL
 code. For 6777-7, which is also much recorded, I see "allowable for now"
 and it is in the SQL code.

RE: [gpc-informatics] #551: next-D labs for cohort selection

2017-01-25 Thread Bernard Black
Mei:  As I have suggested earlier in this thread, we need *some* date, and it 
doesn’t matter much which date.
If, as now appears, what date that is varies across sites, it is *not* in my 
judgment worth the effort to use a date that is consistent across sites.

The larger issue, which we are still gathering information on, is general date 
shifting.
I am hoping that we will be able to converge on a plan, adapted from a 
suggestion earlier today by Philip Reader at UT Southwestern, in which we get 
from each GPC site *non-shifted dates, which are partly de-identified [turned 
from identifiable to “limited” or “research-identifiable”] by providing only 
year and month.  That works for UT Southwestern, and from separate discussion, 
I believe that it should work for Indiana and Iowa.  We may handle MCW 
separately since they only date shift by +/- 10 days to begin with.

We will still have to confirm that this works for us on the receiving end (I’m 
checking on that).  But that will be easier if we can tell our IRB that we’ve 
already worked this out with y’all.

Subject: RE: [gpc-informatics] #551: next-D labs for cohort selection
Importance: High

So far based on the site replies, Nebraska and UTSW are using specimen_date as 
the start_date and KUMC and MCW are using result_date. I suggest that we first 
figure out the variability of this information at each site (simple question) 
before asking them to calculate the max difference (more complicated).

If the max difference is calculated across all labs, the result won’t be 
representative for the labs required for Next-D, maybe even nonsensical due to 
work flow differences as Alex Stoddard mentioned. Based on my understanding, 
difference between lab order date and specimen taken date can be large in the 
outpatient setting because a patient may wait for quite a while before going to 
the lab. On the other hand, I suspect that the difference between specimen 
taken date and the result date won’t vary too much among patients because same 
facilities are used for result generation (if it takes 2 days to get a lab 
result, the same is likely to apply for all patients).

With this said, if all the participating GPC sites uses either specimen or 
result date as the start date, would it significantly affect the Next-D cohort 
selection and analysis if no change is made?

Switching the date would be a major burden and would not be doable here at 
UTSW.  We previously used result date, but found a large number of older result 
dates were off by months. I believe it was due to some IT process,like an 
import or something, but it was significant.  And when researchers would try to 
find a lab by result date, the date shown in the EMR was different making it 
hard to locate.

With order date, in the outpatient setting, sometimes a doctor may order a lab 
and the patient may not have it done for days.

With the PCORI CDM,  we are currently only using have the specimen date, 
however we plan to add the other dates.

each site could fill up attached form and send back to me. I filled some sites 
based on this discussion. Please, check and correct if I got it wrong.

Guys,

2017-01-25 Thread Bernard Black
Dan:  I suspect we will want to go this route.
But first, let me untangle the “date shifting” question, I’m working on that 
one.
I need to figure out that one, and then propose a solution that works both for 
GPC and for the Capricorn sites.
Then hopefully we can address both at the same time.

Guys,

Order date is important for defining study sample and DM sample. specimen date 
is important for "adherence to Treatment" variable. If difference in dates is 
minor, we could uniformly switch to specimen date. But first we have to know 
what is available in each site and ( if both dates are available) how large is 
difference between dates?

2017-01-25 Thread Bernard Black
Dan and others:  It seems useful to know which “date” each site uses.
And the resulting paper(s) will read cleaner if we can obtain the same date 
from all or most of the GPC sites.
Other than that, I doubt it will matter much which date we used.
I can see advantages to the order date, and different advantages to the results 
date.
But the differences are not large enough to justify keeping multiple dates.
This is why I suggested using “order date”
But if only some sites have order date, and all have “specimen date” or all 
have “results date”, we’ll be better off using a date that is common across 
sites.
So we should find out – and Alona is trying to determine this – which sites use 
which dates.

Reviewing the HERON ETL code, I see it does populate the i2b2 start_date for

The HERON ETL code is used at KUMC and was the basis of work at UTHSCSA and

Subject: Re: Medicaid types


Hi all,



Bernie's question (8:55 a.m. in the thread below) -- "Medicaid is sometimes 
capitated and sometime not. Is this information available from the Capricorn 
sites." -- may be divided into two questions:



  1) What level of granularity and accuracy is available in the payor 
(and/or "financial class") fields in each CAPriCORN institution's source 
database (EHR or related repository)?



  2) What level of granularity might each institution be willing to provide 
for our city-wide mapping project?



In my experience, even the most granular values stored by an institution in its 
EHR/repository are not always clear-cut as to whether the patient's Medicaid 
coverage was capitated or not.



Some records are clear-cut:  e.g., "ILLINICARE HEALTH PLAN MEDICAID MCO" is 
Medicaid managed care.



Some records are clear-cut as long as one knows the local environment well:  
e.g., "NEXTLEVEL HEALTH MCO" is Medicaid managed care even though it does not 
say the word "Medicaid."



But some records have insurance labels that are vague (intentionally or 
unintentionally) as to capitation: e.g., "MEDICAID IL - STATUS PENDING."  Also, 
values are sometimes truncated, etc.



Also some Medicaid records, in my view, should be placed into a third category 
(an "other" category): e.g., "MEDICAID SPENDDOWN."





Some health care institutions have financial/reimbursement offices and systems 
that may have more detailed information than the EHR/repository does about the 
insurance status for each encounter, but those separate systems (if not already 
being used in the ETL processes) would require substantial work (and local 
approvals) to access.



thank you,

marc

Are you just looking for a simple breakdown... e.g. 50% FFS, 25% MCO, 25% Other 
Variant?

I might be able to help with that.  Unlikely to be able to get to actual claims.

Abel and Marc:  March may be able to tell us for Northwestern, but what do we 
know about Medicaid in Illinois?
In some states, Medicaid is all/essentially all capitated, in some it is mostly 
fee for service, in some states, there is more variance.
What is known about Illinois Medicaid?

I don't know the answer to this but I suspect Marc may be able to know this 
based on the work he is doing now to get a handle on the diversity of insurance 
types.

Subject: Medicaid types

Medicaid is sometimes capitated and sometime not.
Is this information available from the GPC sites?  It would be useful to have 
this, if knowable.
Abel:  Same question for the Capricorn sites.

Capitated plans can be called "managed care", or "health maintenance 
organization (HMO)" and perhaps other names.

Thank you,
Bernie
