THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on February 08, 2013. A two year Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) supplement that set up a SHRINE (Shared Health Research Informatics NEtwork) network to create an information exchange environment that successfully shared 4.2M deidentified patient records. The network successfully linked i2b2 sites at UW, UCSF, UC Davis and Harvard Catalyst. Recombinant Data Corporation was actively involved in this implementation. This is a collaborative information exchange pilot project to adapt and extend data discovery tools and processes to enhance research design and retrospective data study capabilities for clinical translational investigators. The novel approach of this project will be to incrementally build a common technical, semantic and appropriately secure and governed distributed system in close partnership with active researchers at three large and geographically distributed academic medical centers. This collaboration will extend the Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) software architecture developed by the Harvard based National Center for Biomedical Computing (NCBC) to support multi-institution data query capabilities. The anticipated outcome of this two-year project is to make high-level anonymized descriptive characteristics of population-level data discoverable for research design, hypothesis generation and retrospective data studies.

https://open.med.harvard.edu/display/SHRINE/Community

Software providing a scalable query and aggregation mechanism that enables federated queries across many independently operated patient databases. This platform enables clinical researchers to solve the problem of identifying sufficient numbers of patients to include in their studies by querying across distributed hospital electronic medical record systems. Through the use of a federated network protocol, SHRINE allows investigators to see limited data about patients meeting their study criteria without compromising patient privacy. This software should greatly enable population-based research, assessment of potential clinical trials cohorts, and hypothesis formation for followup study by combining the EHR assets across the hospital system. In order to obtain the maximum number of cases representing the study population, it is useful to aggregate patient facts across as many sites as possible. Cutting across institutional boundaries necessitates that each hospital IRB remain in control, and that their local authority is recognized for each and every request for patient data. The independence, ownership, and legal responsibilities of hospitals predetermines a decentralized technical approach, such as a federated query over locally controlled databases. The application comes with the SHRINE Core Ontology but it can be used with any ontology, even one that is disease specific. The Core Ontology is designed to enable the widest range of studies possible using facts gathered in the EMR during routine patient care. SHRINE allows multiple ontologies to be used for different research purposes on the same installed systems.
