    348 Real-time data synchronization: Assessing the implementation of REDCap CDIS (Clinical Data Interoperability Service) for EHR systems
    (Cambridge University Press, 2025-04-11) Amin, Waqas; Kanakasabai, Saravanan; Grout, Randall; Butler, Joe; Michael, Scott; Schleyer, Titus; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Objectives/Goals: This study tests the REDCap Clinical Data Interoperability Service (CDIS) for streamlined data extraction from electronic health records (EHRs) for research. Managed by Clinical and Translational Science Institute, IU Health, and Eskenazi Health, CDIS offers real-time data syncing, automated workflows, and HIPAA-compliant data security. Methods/Study Population: The REDCap CDIS uses the Fast Health Interoperability Resource (FHIR) Application Programming Interface (API) to extract data from EHRs. It includes the Clinical Data Pull (CDP), which automatically pulls EHR data into user-defined REDCap fields, and the Clinical Data Mart (CDM), which collects longitudinal patient data. Three use cases were selected to assess the CDIS’s effectiveness in extracting data from the IUH Cerner and Eskenazi Epic EHR systems. The technical team set up clinical data mapping and adjudication processes, simplifying complex manual data extraction. Results/Anticipated Results: The CDIS successfully achieved real-time data synchronization during pilot testing with each EHR system. We extracted demographics, drugs, procedures, labs, and conditions. The mapping interface supports many-to-one data point mapping for the study data dictionary, and the adjudication process ensures data quality before integration into the REDCap database. The CDIS also improved data security and HIPAA compliance. An implementation intake process was developed for Indiana University investigators, allowing them to use the service for affordable clinical data extraction from EHR systems. Discussion/Significance of Impact: The implementation and testing of the REDCap CDIS demonstrates its effectiveness in streamlining EHR data extraction for research. The CDIS facilitates real-time data synchronization, automated workflows, and enhanced data security, offering a cost-effective solution through collaborative oversight with research teams.

    522 Recruitment Optimization: A Strategic Approach to Integrating Recruitment Services through a Coordinated Multidisciplinary Team
    (Cambridge University Press, 2022) Hudson, Brenda L.; Claxton, Gina; Egan, Carmel; Hardwick, Emily; Shwery, Michelle; Bork, Jason; Amin, Waqas; Anderson, Angela; Wiehe, Sarah; Moe, Sharon; Medicine, School of Medicine
    OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Provide recruitment support via a coordinated application of strategic operations, participant engagement practices, and informatic capabilities best practices. Improve study success through the discovery of optimal recruitment practices, development of needed services, leverage of existing resources, infrastructure and guidance. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The optimization effort utilized a variety of methods for engaging participants and obtaining information related to the recruitment needs of study teams. Information was collected from an advisory board and through surveys of a diverse group of investigators and research coordinators examining recruitment barriers as well as current and possible future recruitment services. A workflow of the investigative teams recruitment experience was created to identify strengths, gaps and areas for improvement. This information was used to develop a set of recommendations for the Indiana CTSI leadership. Three pillars were tasked with tackling specific areas through an integrative and collaborative approach: (1) study planning and operations, (2) informatics, and (3) participant engagement and health literacy. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Key resulting recommendations included: creating a recruitment navigator to direct clients to the most appropriate service(s), adding a community engaged staff member and a digital public engagement specialist to the recruitment services team, redesigning the website navigations, creating participant payment guidelines, creating participant engagement principles guidelines, improving informatics support, and continual evaluation of best practices and innovations in recruitment support. An intake and follow-up survey were created for clients to assess services offered, those used, and ultimately the success of those services in improving recruitment measures. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The optimization efforts have shown a positive response from study teams demonstrated by an uptick of support requests. By taking an intensive strategic planning approach to streamlining recruitment services, the Indiana CTSI has leveraged existing resources to better serve clients in need of critical recruitment assistance.
