Description
An informatics platform has been designed, deployed and validated around the ITCBio initiative to provide support to clinical and translational research in Andalusia. To this end, an infrastructure has been developed which, in a scalable manner, incorporates functionalities aimed at facilitating the consistent definition of information models, the data reusability from electronic health records, as well as the analysis and processing of information. All this with the aim of providing support to the different clinical and translational research processes associated with clinical trials and research projects. This initiative is based on the creation of a suite of applications that, through the use of standards, incorporates open-software tools oriented to support these research processes. It is currently in widespread and growing use in the university hospitals in which the platform is deployed.
Learning Objective: After participating in this session, the learner should be better able to:
To know a successful experience in Europe supporting clinical and translational research in a large university hospital, integrating a set of well known free software tools, providing a relevant value to the research activity far beyond the value provided by each of the tools used separately in each case.
Learn how the reusability of information from a large EHRs network is resolved in practice.
