HERON Update Integrates UKP Clinic data with KUH Hospital Data

This second beta release of the HERON repository includes billing diagnoses and procedures from the UKP clinics (ClinicIdxSource), integrated with data from the hospital (HospitalEpicSource) (#306). The data is current through February 2011 for both sources.

This release also supports querying by whether a patient is in the HICTR? participant registry (#155).

HERON Contents Summary

The repository contains approximately 300 million real observations from the hospital and clinics.

This is down from 470 million due to a defect in the way nursing flowsheet was loaded (#456). We will fix this defect in our next release which will incorporate April data.

Beta Disclaimer

We are providing this early access to obtain feedback from you, the research community. While we are actively working on validating the data loaded into the system with hospital and clinic technical staff, there may be problems with our translation of data from our source systems (HospitalEpicSource and ClinicIdxSource) into HERON.

Please email us at heron-admin@kumc.edu if you discover information you believe may be erroneous.

We are actively working on enhancing the types of data included. Stay tuned to our roadmap to track progress toward upcoming releases.
