HERON Lizard improves data quality & aligns data nationally

• Data is now current through November 2017. There was a lag in data as the health system upgraded EPIC. We will work diligently to keep HERON data as fresh as possible.
• Data was once again aligned for the national common data model with PCORnet
• GROUSE is our latest data initiative which is now up and running. GROUSE contains 3 years of Medicare and Medicaid claims data for the 8 states involved in the Greater Plains Collaborative. We have approval to use this data for breast cancer, ALS, and obesity research.

HERON Dora includes updates to the Frontiers Research Participant Registry information. Frontiers is a recruitment registry of patients at KUMC who have agreed to be contacted for research. Researchers are able to search for patients in the registry who meet their clinical inclusion and exclusion criteria. To search for these patients, look in the demographics folder under "Frontiers Research Participant Registry." Patients are listed as "Do Not Contact," "Ok to Contact," and "Unknown to Contact." To search for patients who have signed up for the registry, only pull over the term "Ok to Contact." "Unknown to Contact" indicates that they have not been approached about participating in the Frontiers previously.

The trauma registry data has been updated to include data from 2006-2016. Users will find this data in the main HERON hierarchy under the folder "Trauma Registry." Trauma Registry modifiers are also included in the procedure folder under the ICD9 and ICD10 procedure hierarchies.

HERON Butternut is the last release for 2015 and marks the 56th release of HERON. This release involves back-end maintenance. While not visible most users, the fixes will improve the future release processes.

Since the ​beta release of HERON in March 2011, HERON data has grown to over 2.14 billion clinical observations. This table provides an overview of the growth in data from the March 2011 to December 2015 releases. You will note that only 5 data types were available in March 2011. See the Butternut Content Summary for a listing of currently available data types, including those added since the inaugural release.

*Note Total patient counts for Nursing observations are not available due to the amount of time necessary to compile statistics on over 1 billion clinical observations. The patient numbers are available in the nursing flowsheets at the search concept level.

Looking for medications prescribed at an outpatient surgery visit? Want to limit patients with an outpatient surgery to those with a specific diagnosis at the time of surgery? Now you can. HERON McMillan Marsh maps IDX and O2 encounters resulting in the ability to link O2 concepts, such as diagnosis and medications, with IDX concepts, such as outpatient procedures, with the same financial encounter temporal constraint.

New data types

• Best practice and medication alerts are accessible in the Alert folder. This folder is in draft mode, and your ​feedback is welcome.
• Emergency Episode is a new field available in the Visit Details/Encounter Type folder. This field allows you to search for patients seen in the emergency department regardless of where their encounters originated or terminated. The Emergency field, also in the Encounter Type folder, represents patients who left the Emergency Department without being admitted to the hospital.
