Posted by Dan Housman on Sunday November 11, 2007 @ 10:13 AM
from the Using hospital data for research dept.
i2b2 (http://www.i2b2.org) recently launched open source project focused on providing research IT tools for building deidentified research data repositories. UMass Medical School is adopting the technolgy but learned that there were many non-software issues like a data governance strategy that needed to be addressed in order to meet compliance and organizational needs. Ralph Zottola is presenting in a webinar to describe the planning and open source tool selection process. Digg this article

Dr. Zottola from UMass Medical School will be presenting his planning process and the effort that went into obtaining clearance, managing IRB/HIPAA compliance, funding, and selecting tools to execute their CTSA application. The link provides access to the registration information.

Informatics challenges for research - how to integrate clinical data in a research data repository

How the i2b2 informatics platform and the tissue bank supports the UMASS CTSA Application

How an approach, which integrates research and quality data needs, has facilitated communication between the Medical School and the Hospitals
