Abstract
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.
