Finding, Organizing, and Using CAP eCP Data to Accelerate Cancer Research
March 21, 2024
2:00 PM CT
The Northwestern University Research Analytics has gone through a journey to leverage CAP eCP data. The journey has consisted of finding how CAP eCP data is stored in Epic Beaker, and optimizing its use by building an extension data model and ETL that represents discrete synoptic data in a simple entity attribute value (EAV) structure. This foundational work has enabled Research Analytics to incorporate CAP eCP data into multiple research analytic use cases. Research Analytics is now able to deliver analytic data sets that were only been obtainable in the past via manual chart abstraction or NLP extraction. The use cases that will be covered:
· Facilitating clinical trial recruitment: Many of the fundamental oncology data points that are essential in matching patients to clinical trial eligibility criteria can be sourced from discrete synoptic pathology data. NM Research Analytics has incorporated the querying of discrete synoptic pathology data into its delivery of clinical trial recruitment reports.
· Clinical Specimen Archive Annotation: Many of the attributes requested by investigators for identifying cohorts of patients with clinical specimens residing in the NM clinical specimen archive can be sourced from discrete synoptic pathology data. NM Research Analytics has incorporated the querying of discrete synoptic pathology data into its delivery of accession numbers for submission to the NM Clinical Specimen Release Committee.
· Automating Imports into REDCap Data Repositories: Many of the attributes that are manually abstracted by data coordinators for input into REDCap data repositories (for example, SPORE data repositories) can be sourced from discrete synoptic pathology data.
