Description
Linking health-related data across private- and public-sector repositories is uncommon but potentially valuable. The Regenstrief Institute and the State of Indiana’s Management Performance Hub (MPH) conducted a data-linkage pilot to support a state-wide initiative to combat the opioid epidemic. We linked emergency department data from a state-wide health information exchange with emergency medical service (EMS) run data at the person-level, in a federated manner. This novel approach, our experience, and future directions will be described.
Learning Objective: The learning objective of this pilot is to better understand how data derived from a clinical setting can be integrated with data from a state agency, in an de-identified fashion, to support research efforts aimed at combating the opioid epidemic.
