HERON Dora add detailed Frontiers Flag and 10 years of Trauma Data
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.
Need help with HERON? Join the Frontiers Lunch and Learn which meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month from 12:00 - 1:30 PM in room 3001D Student Center. Register in advance if possible but drop-ins are welcome.

HERON Cornelia includes PCORNet Data Quality fixes including RX Days Supply and Amount
A derivative of the HERON Repository is used for nation-wide patient-centered research in the form of a PCORNet Common Data Model (CDM) datamart. This datamart underwent a second cycle of extensive quality review in December. The HERON Cornelia release benefits from this review.
HERON Cornelia further enhances prescription fill information with Amount and Day Supply. The folder "Outpatient Dispensed Medications" now includes modifiers for "Amount" and "Day Supply" which can be use in tandem with existing prescription fill modifiers in a HERON search.

Heron Quaker Mill includes RX fill info and additional CPT codes
HERON Quaker Mill has an exciting enhancement to include prescription fill information from surescripts. You can now search to see if patients have filled their prescribed outpatient medication prescriptions. The folder "outpatient dispensed medications" includes the modifiers claim, fill, and unknown. Claim indicates when the prescription is sent to the insurance and fill indicates a patient has actually picked up their prescription from the pharmacy.
Previously, CPT codes from the IDX billing system were included in HERON. This release now includes CPT codes from the hospital's O2 billing system!

HERON McMillan Marsh improves IDX/O2 encounter mapping and introduces Alerts
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.

HERON Webster release finely tunes data fulfillment and fixes search timeout issue
HERON searches would stop running and appear as processing indefinitely once timed out (~180 seconds). HERON Webster release fixes the issue. Once a search times out, it will continue to search in the background. Check the query in your previous queries section to see if the search completes.
This release includes back-end enhancements that will allow for more precise data delivery when requesting data. Searches limited by dates will now provide only data within those date ranges. Improvements to identified data requests are also included. Learn more about requesting data.

HERON turns 45 with the Kanopolis Release and includes temporal query reuse fix and new concept, IDX Place of Service
The HERON Kanopolis release marks the 45th update to HERON. Over the past 46 months, HERON has grown in terms of data and functionality. Temporal Queries, ability to filter searches through modifiers, and improvements to the Timeline tool are just a few examples of new functionality. HERON continues to grow through the PCORI Greater Plains Collaborative (GPC) work toward standardization of concept hierarchies, and the amount of medical data within HERON has grown from approximately 300 Million in the early releases to over 1.68 Billion medical observations in this release.
HERON Kanopolis new features (concepts):
- IDX Place of Service, new concept that identifies the physical setting for outpatient/clinic-based services (office, clinic, inpatient hospital, outpatient hospital, emergency room hospital and others).
HERON Kanopolis fixes:
- Inability to reuse temporal queries
- Same financial encounter mapping between UHC and O2 data
HERON Kanopolis known issues:
- 8300 UHC to O2 encounter mappings are lost. The HERON team is troubleshooting this issue.
- Flowsheets observations decreased due to data clean-up in O2.
The Kanopolis release includes data through November 2014.

Temporal searching available in HERON Delaware release
Please note: Clear your browser cache if you receive an error when starting the HERON query tool.
Instructions to clear cache for Firefox and Chrome.HERON Delaware upgrade to i2b2 v1.7.03 introduces the Temporal Query Tool which allows you to narrow your search by a series of events. For example:
- Define a population
- create a search for males with hypertension and acute myocardial infarction
- Define events
- Event 1 is hypertension
- Event 2 is acute myocardial infarction
- Define temporal relationships of the events
- Event 1 happens before event 2 by greater than 1 day
- Submit the query.
- Results include the number of male patients who have had at least 1 acute myocardial infarction diagnosis after a hypertension diagnosis.
HERON issues to note due to recent data clean-up by the O2 team:
- Deceased per Social Security Master Death File decreased due to the removal of certain Social Security Numbers in the EMR. See #2911 for more details.
- Nursing data decreased. See #2955 for more details.
To learn more about temporal querying in HERON, join the Frontiers Lunch and Learn which meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month from 12:00 - 1:30 PM in room 3001D Student Center. Register in advance if possible but drop-ins are welcome.

HERON Wakarusa include UHC fix and Fishing Trip update
A University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) format change for Sept 2013 to June 2014 data resulted in the exclusion of a small portion of UHC data from HERON. This issue is fixed with the HERON Wakarusa release.
The 2nd Annual HERON Fishing trip took place on July 28, 2014. Agenda and recorded sessions are available. A demo of i2b2 version 1.7 gave the attendees a glimpse of upcoming temporal searching capabilities. HERON is built upon i2b2. Look for this new functionality when HERON moves to i2b2 version 1.7 in the future.

HERON Beaver release includes outpatient clinical services and negative microbiology improvements
Searching clinical services in HERON is no longer limited to inpatient with the introduction of ambulatory clinical services in the Beaver release. To search on a specific outpatient clinical service, go to Visit Details -> Clinical Services -> Outpatient Visits.
HERON Beaver release makes searching negative microbiology data easier with an improved hierarchy of terms.

HERON Milford simplifies the Cancer Cases folder
A new folder, Cancer Cases (Abridged), debuts with the Milford release. This folder contains the frequently searched concepts from the Cancer Cases folder. Advanced searchers can still search the entire tumor registry in the unabridged folder.
The Milford release marks the 8th REDCap database integrated into HERON. When you add a REDCap patient registry to HERON, you enhance your HERON searching capabilities while at the same time enhancing your REDCap registry.
Integration of REDCap project data into HERON is driven by our desire to empower the researcher to:
- look at a richer data picture of their project population.
- look for disparities in data in the EMR versus the data in REDCap projects.
Since July 2012, REDCap projects that model breast cancer, Alzheimer's, Sepsis management registries among others have been integrated into HERON.
To add your REDCap project to HERON, register your project.

How to prepare your REDCap project to be loaded into HERON?
Integration of REDCap project data into HERON is driven by our desire to empower the researcher to:
- look at a richer data picture of their project population.
- look for disparities in data in the EMR versus the data in REDCap projects.
Since July 2012, REDCap projects that model breast cancer, Alzheimer's, Sepsis management registries among others have been integrated into HERON. In this post, we briefly summarize how you can get your REDCap project ready for integration into HERON.
Make sure you document the MRN for patients in your project.
REDCap data related to a patient is linked to the rest of their EMR data using their Medical Record Number (MRN). Please make sure you record the MRN accurately for the patients with all the leading zeros. Patients missing valid MRN will not be loaded into HERON.
Verify that no two records in your REDCap project have the same MRN.
If two records(i.e. patients) have the same MRN, then your REDCap project should be modeled as a longitudinal project. If you have questions regarding longitudinal projects, please watch the relevant video on https://redcap.kumc.edu/index.php?action=training. If you need further help changing your project to be longitudinal, contact us.
Mark the fields containing PHI as "Identifiers"
If you are recording PHI in a field in your REDCap project, please make sure you have marked that field as an identifier. You can do that from online designer. Once a field has been marked as an identifier the data in it will not be loaded into HERON so that we can comply with our "de-identified data only" policy.
- One exception are date fields which will be randomly shifted so that they are de-identified.
- For more information on identifiers in your data refer: http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/understanding/coveredentities/De-identification/guidance.html
Check the REDCap field types in your project
Right now we only pull the following REDCap field types into HERON:
- text fields with integer, float or date validation. We ignore text fields without any validation.
- Radio, checkbox, select(dropdown), yesno fields
Make sure the data you want to look at in HERON is in those fields. If not please contact us and we can try to expand this list. We do not load data from unvalidated text fields due to the de-identification challenges.
Verify the user rights to your project
Currently access to your REDCap data in HERON is limited to only users who have permissions to it in REDCap.
Project Status: Production
Finally, make sure your project has been moved to Production. This is a good practice for REDCap projects as it helps protect the project structure and data against inadvertent changes.
Our releases are around the middle of a month
For your project to be part of the next monthly release, the project has to be ready by the first week of a month. We will first stage the data and will contact you if you we have any obvious issues that we need your help in resolving.
Request to integrate your project
Please complete the REDCap-to-HERON Request so that we can integrate your project into HERON. Choose options HERON and then REDCap to HERON Request.

HERON Solomon marks the 32nd consecutive release
Over the past 32 releases, HERON grew in data, functionality, and use. New data types include REDCap projects, Biospecimen Repository, Tumor Registry information, and much more. In response to this increase, the Medical Informatics team lead the HERON Fishing Trip, an extended training workshop in August 2013. This two day event consisted of hands-on and classroom trainings with attendance both in person and online.
Since that workshop, monthly searches have surpassed 1000, Frontiers Research Participant Registry requests increased, and clinics are steadily attended. Researchers, study coordinators, students, and administrators from multiple areas of KUMC and KU Hospital search HERON. Thirty-two releases after the initial launch and HERON continues to grow.
The Solomon release includes clinical data through September 2013.
HERON Solomon Contents Summary
This month, our tour of rivers and lakes in Kansas honors Solomon River.

HERON Chikaskia release introduces HERON DUA to REDCap & KU ADC data
When you request data from HERON you can receive the data via a REDCap project. The data will be pivoted into a user-friendly format and available in REDCap CRFs. The data will reside on REDCap servers cutting down the use of email in sharing data.
Data from University of Kansas Alzheimer's Disease Center(KU ADC) REDCap project is now part of HERON. This project has a richly characterized cohort of over 300 Alzheimer's patients. You can access this data only if you have the permissions to the related REDCap project. Please contact Dr.Jeff Burns (jburns2@…) if you would like to look at these patients in HERON.
HERON is now on i2b2 v1.6.09. Queries including concepts with symbols like < are now working.
General fixes in this release include:
- HERON databases are now running on a newer version of Oracle.
- UHC data is now under the folder University HealthSystem Consortium
- HERON help button is functional again.
Note: The latest University HealthSystems Consortium (UHC) is current through June 2013.
This month, our tour of rivers and lakes in Kansas honors Chikaskia.
The HERON repository contains approximately 1 billion real observations from the hospital, clinics, and research systems:

HERON Crooked Creek release introduces the HERON performance page
The performance page displays the status of searches, those complete versus incomplete, and performance times within HERON. A link to this page is located below the start query tool link.
General fixes in this release include:
- The disappearing shared folder issue for those users with REDCap project access within HERON is resolved by allowing the user to choose between a REDCap HERON and a general HERON instance (e.g., in this month the Crooked Creek instance). The shared folder will not appear in the REDCap instance, but users can switch back and forth between the 2 HERON instances access the shared folder.
- The Survival Analysis tools work in Internet Explorer. Previously, patient sets could not be dropped into this tool in the IE Browser.
Note: The latest University HealthSystems? Consortium (UHC) data remains at December 2012. The inability to pull new data into HERON is due to a table change within the database which the team is working to resolve.
This month, our tour of rivers and lakes in Kansas honors Crooked Creek.

Name and value (if applicable) are now available in the Timeline tool when hovering over an event. This enhancement expands the data analysis capabilities within HERON. For example, if you are interested in when antineoplastics were received in a patient set, you can add the antineoplastics folder to the timeline tool. Upon hovering over each event tic name of the antineoplastic and value if provided is displayed. Previously, users could easily see when the antineoplastic was administered in relation to a diagnosis, but the addition of these labels and values allows the users to see if a patient received more than one antineoplastic type and when that change occurred.
Access to REDCap projects in HERON is now limited to only those users defined in the REDCap project. If a user is not a member of the project, the project will not be visible within the HERON navigation tree to that user. It will be visible to project members who can add the project to queries within HERON.

HERON Cow Creek release includes order sets and analysis tool enhancements
Previously, the Multi-Cohort Survival Analysis tool had the option to limit by 5 years, 10 years or All. This release expands that option to weeks, days, or hours in addition to years. The Timeline analysis tool increases granularity to display by the hour as opposed to day as in previous releases.
The Cow Creek release introduces order sets as a new searchable data type. This release also kicks off the ability to limit MAR by dose.

HERON Neosho includes same financial encounter search optimization and text labels for tumor registry
The Neosho update replaces numerical codes with text labels for tumor registry primary site and histology. Support for user-selected outcomes in the multi-cohort analysis tool has been fixed (though initialization issues remain). New UHC data includes low socioeconomic status and admission source.
Previously, limiting searches to the same financial encounter meant increased query times. This release fixes the issue resulting in quicker queries.

HERON Council Grove update includes histories, encounter vitals and expanded smart notes
The Council Grove release introduces family and social histories within the HERON tool. Family history can be searched by all or by a particular family member type (e.g., Maternal Grandmother). Additionally, a new modifier allows searching by medical history within the clinical diagnosis folders. Other data changes within HERON include encounter vitals, which are searchable under the Visit Detail folder, and smart data notes, which are expanded to include ambulatory in addition to the previously released inpatient notes.

HERON Elk City updates to i2b2 v1.6.07 and includes Ambulatory Nursing Documentation and Orders
The Elk City HERON release includes an upgrade to the i2b2 software version 1.6.07. Width of the Query Tool and Navigate Terms workspaces can be resized by dragging the vertical bar between the areas. Query within query fixed to provide correct patient numbers. We have also incorporated nursing/multidisciplinary flowsheet data from the ambulatory clinics (an additional 20 million facts) as well as procedure orders (from 54 million to 110 million). For the flowsheet data, check out the "UKP" folder and the "KU AMB" and "KU GEN CARD" subfolders under "KU" in the ontology for many of the new types of data now exposed by HERON for clinic visits. This release also includes many fixes behind the scenes not visible through the interface.
Note that this month, the Smart Data elements contained within physician notes were not loaded due to a data inconsistency detected by our loading process. We are investigating the root cause but do not want this fairly new data source to delay the release of the database for this month. See ticket 1516 for details.

HERON Melvern update allows search by category and enhanced medication dose modifiers
Melvern update includes a new way to narrow a term search. Within the "Find Terms" tab, you can limit your "Search by Names" to a specific category, such as flowsheets or diagnosis. Additionally, you may notice the top-level folder (entitled HERON) is removed to allow less clicks to browse for terms.
Additional dose types are added to medication modifiers.

HERON Waconda update introduces new searching modifiers for Medications and Diagnosis
Searching with the Medical Administration Record (MAR) concepts limit your search to only medication administered in a specific way. For example, you can search for bolus in a bag or exclude medications denied. Diagnosis modifiers allow you to specify whether to search electronic medical record(O2), billing (IDX), or quality measures (UHC) diagnosis data. Both types of modifiers offer you the flexibility to narrow your search criteria when desired thus increasing the precision of search results.

UHC Core measures, Standard Medication Terms, and REDCap integration added to HERON in Cimarron release
Cimarron release includes a new structure for browsing data (medications), addition of a new data repository (REDCap), and new data concepts (UHC) plus bug fixes.
- We can now import data from selected REDCap projects into HERON. This integration effort was piloted with a Cancer Registry.
- Medication navigation improved due to organization by RxNorm based on GCN or NDC codes instead of clinical drug level, such as pill size. 89% of medication is mapped to RxNorm and we continue to work on the remaining 11%.
- Visit details for inpatient visits provides insight into what services were assigned to a patient during their hospital stay.
- Three important new types of UHC data available
- Physician role and specialty are available to search in the UHC Visit Details folder.
- Core Measures are standardized, evidenced based measures used by UHC to evaluate hospitals. These measures were designed by the Joint Commission to permit more rigorous comparisons of hospitals.
- Numerator or denominator only case flag is added to AHRQ. See more information on AHRQ.

HERON: Marion release increases UHC and medication data
The Marion release adds ICD-9 codes for both procedures and diagnosis, in addition to increasing year range to include 2009-2012 for UHC data. Inpatient and outpatient medication orders are now available. Marion release also includes two bug fixes: searching with the exclude limit now returns the correct results and password issues no longer make the system hang.
Since February 2012, search performance is slower than expected in HERON. We are working to resolve this issue (#1069).

Health of the Public poster session shows time-saving benefits of Informatics Tools
The most recent Health of the Public (HOP) student poster session in April provided another glimpse into student research at KUMC. I am continually impressed by the hard work of these students to create a project, collect data, analyze the data, and present within four weeks. The best part of the HOP poster sessions, for me, is speaking with the students to learn how they employ our informatics tools, what worked or didn’t, and seeing the impact of our tools on student research in general. In this session, the majority of the posters mentioned REDCap, and a few highlighted HERON. Many students praised our tools and in particular, the time saved in collecting and analyzing the data. Each poster session presents new questions regarding public health, new ways in which the data is collected and analyzed, and an increased role for informatics tools. I am looking forward to seeing what the next poster session in October holds.
HERON: Big Hill release adds home medications, other medication orders, and expands UHC data
The Big Hill release adds support for home medications and expands UHC coverage. Previously, we only had medications that are dispensed by the hospital pharmacy; now, you'll be able to see
- medications that the patient reports taking at home (so called "historical medications"), as well as
- all other orders, which includes prescriptions, inpatient medication orders, and discharge medication orders.
- data for an additional 100K patients
The UHC data, although primarily administrative, provides a new view on a patient's interaction at the hospital. New UHC concepts include:
- ICU length of stay: Search on time spent in ICU.
- Admission and Discharge status concepts: Search where patients came from prior to admission or went to upon discharge.
- Readmission concept: Helps you search for patients readmitted after discharge to their home, allowing specification to a desired number of days.
- Clinical Classification Software (CCS) ICD-9: These codes provided by AHRQ collapse ICD-9 diagnosis and procedure codes into a smaller number of categories useful in analyzing data. See AHRQ web site.
- All Patient Refined Diagnosis Related Groups (APR DRGs): DRG codes expanded to include 4 subclasses in severity of illness and mortality subgroups for each code. See web site.
- Major Diagnostic Categories (MDCs): Search these diagnosis categories created by combining ICD-9 diagnosis codes into 25 MDCs. These codes, which are used primarily for administrative and billing purposes, provide another view on patient data.
- Comorbidity: Search 29 comorbidity categories.
Currently the UHC data is limited to a 1-year time period (Nov. 2010-Nov. 2011). Look for additional years in future releases. This data is limited to hospital encounters and lacks clinic data.

Adding SEER Site Recode to HERON Tumor Registry integration
Our HERON tuttlecreek release a couple months ago included initial integration of data on ~60,000 cancer cases from the KUMC tumor registry. We organized the NAACCR terms based on work by colleagues at the Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia and Group Health Cooperative in Seattle:
But if you want to find, for example, brain cancer cases, due to an outstanding issue (#733), you have to be an expert in codes for primary site, histology, etc.:
For our next release, based on work with John Keighley, we're providing query by SEER Site Recode, a state of the art method for combining primary site and histology:
Under the hood: Using python to convert the rules table to SQL
The SEER Site Recode ICD-O-3 (1/27/2003) Definition, lays out the rules in a fairly convenient HTML table:
Converting that table to code manually might have been straightforward, but it would have been repetitive and error-prone; so like so many Geeks and repetitive tasks, I wrote a script to automate it.
source:tumor_reg/seer_recode.py weighs in at about 200 lines, including whitespace and a handful of test cases. It reads the HTML page (well, I feed it through tidy first to clean up some table markup) and produces
- A term hierarchy in CSV format (source:heron_load/curated_data/seer_recode_terms.csv)
- Rules to recode our our ~60K cancer cases as a SQL case statement (source:heron_load/seer_recode.sql).
The resulting SQL weighs in at about 500 lines. Handling all the different kinds of rules in the table was fun; a lot more fun than writing this sort of SQL by hand:
case /* Lip */ when (site between 'C000' and 'C009') and not (histology between '9590' and '9989' or histology between '9050' and '9055' or histology = '9140') then '20010' ... /* Melanoma of the Skin */ when (site between 'C440' and 'C449') and (histology between '8720' and '8790') then '25010' ... /* Cranial Nerves Other Nervous System */ when (site between 'C710' and 'C719') and (histology between '9530' and '9539') then '31040' /* ... */ when (site between 'C700' and 'C709' or site between 'C720' and 'C729') and not (histology between '9590' and '9989' or histology between '9050' and '9055' or histology = '9140') then '31040'
HERON Pawnee release paves the way to a richer data repository
Our Pawnee release is the first to use i2b2 1.6. This allows us to take advantage of i2b2 1.6 features in future releases:
- visit information, such as length of stay, age at visit
- provider information
- primary diagnosis vs secondary; billing vs clinical
- medication routes, frequency
We are still in the process of re-verifying data integrity and functionality after the upgrade, so consider these statistics provisional:
CATEGORY | FACTS | PATIENTS |
i2b2 | 464M | |
Demographics | 14.1M | 1.88M |
HICTR Participant | 7.65K | 7.65K |
Diagnoses | 17.5M | 578K |
Flowsheet | 328M | |
Labtests | 68.3M | 244K |
Medications | 27.0M | 99K |
Procedures | 9.2M | 527K |
Specimens | 24.1K | 2.56K |
Note: our statistics regarding total number of flowsheet observations is reduced significantly from 470 million to 328 million. We are investigating the cause as the we think the data is intact (see ticket #789). Please give us feedback if you notice discrepancies with any prior queries where the counts are down significantly relative to last month's build.
Notice in the right hand side of the user interface that i2b2 1.6 allows you constrain observations to the same encounter. For example, you might require that patients have drug exposure (furosemide) and laboratory monitoring (serum potassium) during the same encounter while another observation like "diagnosis of diabetes" can be treated independently of encounter. Right now, we are not sure we have this working (see defect #790) but we are looking into it.
This release also fixed several outstanding bugs:

HERON Tuttlecreek release brings initial Tumor Registry integration
This month's HERON release integrates data from the KUH Tumor Registry, with 65,000 cases dating back to the 1950s(#547). We have also added support for finding patients in KCK county school districts (#531).
Russ regularly gives presentations on our work, describing the integration of various sources into HERON. Since this diagram from How Medical Informatics and HERON Can Help Your Research?, given on November 17, we have integrated the Social Security death master file as well as the tumor registry:

AMIA 2011: Nursing Flowsheets data and the wild west of terminology
Like a number of other CTSA sites, we're Using I2B2 in our HERON research data respository. The original domain of I2B2 was genome/phenome integration and personalized medicine. Genomic stuff is on our long-term radar, but one of our earliest wins has been mining the vast amount of data (~400M observations as of our latest release) recorded by nurses and other practitioners in flowsheets in our EMR.
Height, weight, and BMI are quite common inclusion/exclusion criteria for clinical trials, and those aren't available in the term hierarchy that comes with I2B2 out of the box.
It's been a big challenge because unlike diagnoses with ICD9 codes and procedures with CPT codes, the MedicalTerminologyMarketplace has no widespread norms for flowsheets.
We're presenting some results in Washington D.C. on Wednesday at AMIA 2011:
- Expressing Observations from Electronic Medical Record Flowsheets in an i2b2-based Clinical Data Repository to Support Research and Quality Improvement
L. Waitman, J. Warren, E. Manos, D. Connolly
Stay tuned to KUBMIPresentations for presentation materials.
p.s. I'm new to AMIA. As a long-time Web guy, there's a bit of culture shock: the conference program only seems to be available as a big hunk of PDF or a goofy mobile flash thing, and the "Join the conversation on twitter" box inside gives the hash tag as AMIA2011#, with the hash at the end. Chuckle. And no open-access to the full text of the article. Sigh.
Perry is here with data through September 2011
This month, the release of our HERON research data repository honors Perry Lake for our regular monthly refresh of the data.

Social Security Death Index integration expands vital statistics available in HERON
The Department of Biostatistics is excited to provide for you linkage between our clinical and administrative records and the Social Secuity Death Master File released by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Previously, we only had record that a patient was deceased based upon follow up at KUH/UKP or if they died while cared for at KUH/UKP (23,850 patients indicated as "Deceased" within the "Demographics" ontology). Now we have an additional indicator that the patient has died based upon records reported to the federal government (177,706 patients indicated as "Deceased per SSA" within the "Demographics" ontology).
Note, we currently are matching patients based upon an exact match of their social security number AND their date of birth.
We think this will be a powerful addition which will allow preliminary hypotheses generation regarding mortality rates between different patient cohorts. In the future we might hope to provide analysis plugins that calculate routine survival analysis.
For a neurlogical example: HERON has 1356 patients who've ever been diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS aka Lou Gehrig's disease) at KUMC since 2000. Of those, the hospital knew 206 had died. Now that we can also check the social security administration, we know that 821 have died.
Using i2b2 Timeline and other analysis plug-ins in HERON
We recently worked out the technical and regulatory issues to take you beyond counting to detailed analysis of the data in HERON (#314).
Consider this example from my recent Internal Medicine Research Committee Presentation on HERON:
To access these capabilities, choose to check the box to also create a "patient set" when you run your query. Then, use the analysis tools tab at the top which takes you to a series of i2b2 plugins. We have found that the "Demographics (1 Patient Set)", "Demographics (2 Patient Sets)", and "Timeline" plugins to be very illuminating.
Stay tuned for more training materials or join us at the bi-weekly informatics clinic for help.
Analysis tools, Social Security Death Index, 50% more Labs arrive as HERON visits Cheney Lake
This month, the release of our HERON research data repository honors Cheney Lake. In addition to our regularly monthly refresh of the data, we're excited about the three big enhancements in this release:

Unfortunately, we broke something so we know longer know race regarding our population (#637). That data was suspect so we will be exploring how to incorporate race and ethnicity with greater fidelity.
Join us at the Frontiers Clinical/Translational Informatics Clinic for full demonstration and discussion. The next one is Tuesday, Oct 4 at 4pm in 1040 Dykes Library.
Meanwhile, see:

First Frontiers Clinical/Translational Informatics Clinic
We'd like to thank everyone who came to the first Frontiers Clinical/Translational Informatics Clinic yesterday.
The clinic is scheduled for 4pm every other Tuesday in Library Room 1040. As the announcement said:
The Frontiers Clinical/Translational Informatics Clinic exists for investigators needing assistance using informatics tools for data exploration, cohort discovery, and data collection. The clinic is a brainstorming session and an education forum for investigators and informatics to share knowledge, provide feedback, and optimize the use of systems such as: - REDCap for data collection - the HERON clinical data repository and its i2b2 application - and other systems developed as part of Frontiers: Kansas City's Clinical and Translational Science Award.
It was interesting to chat with everybody, from investigators with proposals in development to research nurses, study coordinators, etc. We introduced our systems and talked about how they can be used to support research.
CRIS is KUMC's custom installation of Velos eResearch, the highly-regarded clinical research information system chosen by 20 medical institutions with top 25 ratings.
For those doing a clinical trial, specially for cancer or an investigational drug where adverse event reporting is requred, CRIS is the way to go:
REDCap allows you to build and manage online surveys and databases quickly and securely. It's used by thousands of projects at hundreds of institutions.
If you are building a patient registry or a lightweight trial at KUMC, try REDCap:
- Try REDCap now
- REDCap video training
- Register your project with the Biostatistics Department to go beyond just trying it out.
HERON allows you to explore de-identified data from Epic/O2 (the hospital electronic medical records) and IDX (the clinical billing system). We talked about capabilities and access rules for HERON, using some HERONTrainingMaterials for reference.
Access to de-identified data is non-human subjects research and does not require approval by the HSC/IRB. For qualified faculty who want view-only access to do patient count queries, executing a system access agreement is the only requirement.
A Data Request Oversight Committee (DROC) oversees requests to:
- sponsor collaborators and research team members
- extract de-identified data sets
For access to identified data, you will need an IRB approved protocol.
We look forward to meeting with our user community again in two weeks.
Approaches to data integration for health care research: i2b2, SHRINE, SPARQL and OWL
A couple of us are off to Boston this week for the i2b2 Academic Users' Group First Annual Conference to present a poster and soak up all kinds of good stuff.
i2b2 is the basis of HERON, our health care research data repository, which stores clinical observations into a fairly traditional datamart. I've done database application development of various kinds for decades, but the scale and operational challenges are new to me. I'm particularly happy that the extract/transform/load (ETL) process for our last release ran for 37 hours, lights-out, loading 450 million clinical observations from various sources, primarily, a copy of Epic's Clarity store from the KU Hospital.
While i2b2 includes a modern Ajax web front-end, it makes no use of web-style linked data, let alone OWL or realist ontology, for medical terminology alignment, which is a big part of the challenge in making HERON an effective platform for research and for data integration beyond the KUMC enterprise.
While I'm taking a break from heads-down development mode for this conference, and while I'm in Boston, I hope to take time to look more closely at developments such as:
- Anzo Connect: Semantic Web ETL in 5 Minutes, a SemTech? conference presentation from the guys at Cambridge Semantics
- Stardog and Pellet 3: Semantics for the Enterprise, a June presentation from the guys at Clark & Parsia, with eye-opening performance numbers for query and reasoning with the size of data we deal with.
Our Oracle database on SAS drives handles simple user queries in a few seconds, but in some cases it takes a minute or two or fails altogether. After evaluating fusion-io's solid state storage, we ordered 4 fairly large units. We're still working through the operational details of setting it up, but we hope to see considerable performance improvements for both ETL and end-user queries.
I'm also interested to catch up on some W3C stuff: RDF/SQL mapping (no RIF?! darn.), and the Semantic Web Health Care and Life Sciences (HCLS) Interest Group. It should be interesting to compare SPARQL1.1 federated query with the corresponding i2b2 approach: SHRINE.

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.

HERON, KUH EHR Coverage Varies Over Time
Epic (O2) electronic medical record is the main source of our data. It is the EMR for KUH and increasingly the clinics.
- Epic went live at KUH on November 12, 2007.
- It started with the pharmacy, medication administration, and flowsheet modules
- Physician Clinical Documentation was added in May of 2009.
- Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) began in November of 2010.
- Some outpatient clinics owned by the hospital (ex: Jayhawk clinics, outpatient cancer center treatment) began using Epic as earlier but the main UKP clinic rollout of Epic started in Fall 2010. It is planned to complete in 2013.
- Epic also contains Admission, Discharge Transfer and Patient Registration information from the Hospital Billing System (Seimens SMS). As a result, we have basic demographics on patients going back to the 1980s. But, we lack the rich clinical detail available since 2007.
We receive periodic copies of the Epic Clarity database to use as the foundation of our repository. Our current copy is from September 22, 2010, which, for example, pre-dates rollout of CPOE.
Date-Shifting
Our DeIdentificationStrategy includes shifting the dates of each patient record by up to one year. For example, if a patient was born July 1, 1960 their birth date is shifted back in time between 0 and 365 days, and and all subsequent observations are shifted by the same number of days.
Plans to add Outpatient Billing data to HERON
We plan to incorporate outpatient billing data from GE IDX in our next release. (#306) The IDX data goes back to the 2000 and will include CPT procedure codes and ICD9 diagnoses codes.
De-Identification of Patient Health Information
We have taken several steps to de-identify the patient records so they may be deemed non-human subjects research. This includes:
- shifting dates as above
- Removing address identifiers
- Only providing gross geographic indicators (state and radius from KUMC) (#51)
- with thanks to geonames for data relating zip codes to latitude/longitude
By default you have obfuscated counting access. This means the exact counts returned by queries are perturbed by a random number of patients. Obfuscation access also means you can't take advantage of analysis tools and timelines. We will work with our clinical partners on providing this greater level of access for our research community. (#314)
See also details regarding our DeIdentificationStrategy.
Diagnosis Issues
These come from the Epic PAT_ENC_DX table which is populated by the problem list and from tests which are ordered that require a diagnosis. We currently organize the data by ICD9.
- There are many opinions on this as a source of information. One perspective is that they may be more clinically relevant but lack the completeness of professionally coded diagnoses.
- In our next release we plan to extract the full ICD9 augmented with SNOMED concepts from the IMO hierarchies stored within Epic. (#273)
Laboratory Results Issues
We have loaded the top 500 most frequently resulted lab tests
- These are results that were "finalized" by the lab.
- These do not include microbiology, blood bank, pathology. Only the general laboratory results.
- The LOINC coding was not validated by laboratory personnel. We will work towards using the local Epic categorization until the laboratory has time to map their results to national standards.
Medication Issues
- Medications are the dispensed medications by pharmacy. We believe this data is not accurate and are working towards loading the administered medications from the MAR.
- For now, you can use medications for exploratory activities but don't take any overall volumes as truth. We believe the medication exposure is underreported.
- The classification of medications follows the internal Epic categories (based on First Databank).
Nursing Flowsheet Data Issues
- We have loaded all the nursing flowsheet data with the exception of some dates. (#363)
- Strings are not visible for privacy preservation but you will at least know that the observation was recorded. (#299)
- The ontologies for flowsheets is an area of research for us. As a first step we are displaying the internal flowsheet organization within Epic at KUH.
- Keep in mind that one observation which was documented on one flowsheet may appear on many different flowsheets. The best examples of this are height/weight and vital signs.
Other Data Issues
- We haven't really loaded procedures and CPTs yet though the ontology hierarchy might lead you to think they are loaded.
- Searching by age is an interesting topic in i2b2 (#158)
- For the most part, you are searching based upon the patients current age for events that have occurred in the past.
- Future releases of i2b2 should allow you to specify search criteria for the age at time of event (more relevant to infant/pediatric queries).
I2B2 Software Platform Issues
For the most part, we are not modifying the i2b2 software. Any defects found may be already shared with the i2b2 development team at Partners.
- We haven't developed training materials beyond what is provided at the i2b2 home page.
- We are currently running i2b2 version 1.4. Keep this in mind as you compare current functionality with current and planned i2b2 releases (1.5 and 1.6rc3).
- We will plan to upgrade to version 1.6 of i2b2 when it is official released by their developers and when we can sequence the upgrade with our production release of HERON. (#165)
Note: we have modified the i2b2 software to display the number of facts at each level of the ontology and in some cases also display the distinct number of patients at each level. (#211)

Getting ahead of the ball with service monitoring
In the earliest phases of development of our HERON clinical research repository, the only users were us developers and a handful of friendly alpha testers, so it was fine to discover problems as we used the system.
But one of the features included in milestone:EpicBetai2b2 is more proactive monitoring (#150), using the popular open source opsview toolset, built on nagios.
Once it was in place for HERON, I showed it to a guy who supports CRIS, and he figured out how to get nagios working on Windows servers etc.
CRIS is a long-standing production service. Its user community consists of clinical researchers. When CRIS acts up, they don't see it as an interesting technical puzzle to solve; they just see it as the darned computer getting between them and their research goals again.
The database under the CRIS service acted up over the weekend, but this time, instead of a call from a frustrated researcher on Monday morning, the CRIS support team got an automated notice right when the problem started and had it cleaned up before any users noticed.
It's so much nicer to be ahead of the ball in the customer support game.
Concept stats: how many needles are in which parts of our i2b2 haystack?
For the HERON research data repository we're building, we're Using I2B2, which involves navigating a huge vocabulary of medical terminology. We found ourselves wishing that the terms were tagged with some clues about how often they occur in our database. Now that the enhancement ticket is done, we find it really does help.
I2B2 lets researchers identify patient cohorts by querying a database of "observation facts" about patients. All the facts are collected in one table, indexed by concept. Concepts may be demographics (age, gender, etc.), diagnoses, labs, medications, or procedures, and the tool supports hierarchical navigation and text search:
About 14,000 concepts are included with the I2B2 software. As we extract concepts from health records at KU Medical center, some obviously match the i2b2 concepts but many do not. For example, we have not yet determined the relationship between local medication codes and the NDC system. This complicates the already daunting task of navigating the hierarchy of medical terminology. It's quite frustrating to poke around in the dark, running query after query, not knowing which concepts have real data attached to them.
We find that pre-computing the number of facts and the number of associated patients and including these statistics in the hierarchy makes navigation much more efficient:
We can see at a glance that we have no records of dispensing ANTI-OBESITY
drugs, at least by that exact categorization.
We can also see that we only have rich data (diagnoses, labs, meds, ...) about roughly 10% of the 2 million patients in our database; this is due to rather recent deployment of an electronic medical record system compared to the long-standing use of computerized billing systems.
How we did it
In the observation_fact
table, each of the facts carries a concept_cd
;
for example:
concept_cd | encounter_num | patient_num | start_date | ... |
DEM|AGE:5 | 123123 | 321 | 2005-01-01 | ... |
Then the concept_cd
is related to a longer path in the concept_dimension
table:
concept_cd | concept_path | ... |
DEM|AGE:5 | \i2b2\Demographics\Age\0-10\5 | ... |
And these paths are used in the i2b2
table that is used
to build the hierarchical navigation display:
c_dimcode | c_name | ... |
\i2b2\Demographics\ | Demographics | ... |
\i2b2\Demographics\Age\ | Age | ... |
\i2b2\Demographics\Age\0-10\ | Ages 0-10 | ... |
\i2b2\Demographics\Age\0-10\5 | Age 5 | ... |
So we join each i2b2
row with the concept_dimension
rows
under it, and then join with observation_fact
on concept_cd
,
and store the stats in a temporary table:
create global temporary table stats on commit preserve rows as select c.super_path, count(*) facts, count(distinct f.patient_num) patients from (select distinct super.c_dimcode super_path, sub.concept_cd sub_code from blueheronmetadata.i2b2 super join blueherondata.concept_dimension sub on sub.concept_path like (super.c_dimcode || '%')) c join blueherondata.observation_fact f on f.concept_cd = c.sub_code group by super_path
To compute this efficiently, we added an index on i2b2.c_dimcode
; you can see that the whole thing runs in just under 22 minutes:
2010-12-09 15:20:17.357337 starting statement: CREATE INDEX blueheronmetadata.metadata_by_path ON blueheronmetadata.i2b2 (c_dimcode) 2010-12-09 15:20:18.649760 finished after 0:00:01.292423; rows affected: -1 2010-12-09 15:20:18.649852 starting statement: create global temporary table stats on commit preserve rows as select c.super_path, count(*) facts, count(distinct f.patient_num) patients from (select distinct super.c_dimcode super_path, sub.concept_cd sub_code from blueheronmetadata.i2b2 super join blueherondata.concept_dimension sub on sub.concept_path like (super.c_dimcode || '%')) c join blueherondata.observation_fact f on f.concept_cd = c.sub_code group by super_path explain plan result: Plan hash value: 539913617 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes |TempSpc| Cost (%CPU)| Time | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 0 | CREATE TABLE STATEMENT | | 206 | 34196 | | 175M (2)|584:12:42 | | 1 | LOAD AS SELECT | STATS | | | | | | | 2 | SORT GROUP BY | | 206 | 34196 | | 131M (2)|438:09:33 | |* 3 | HASH JOIN | | 8398M| 1298G| 2207M| 129M (1)|433:18:21 | | 4 | INDEX FAST FULL SCAN | FACT_CNPT_PAT_ENCT_IDX | 59M| 1528M| | 78907 (2)| 00:15:47 | | 5 | VIEW | | 28M| 3780M| | 129M (1)|431:40:01 | | 6 | HASH UNIQUE | | 28M| 6501M| 444G| 116M (1)|386:55:49 | | 7 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| CONCEPT_DIMENSION | 9826 | 1161K| | 257 (0)| 00:00:04 | | 8 | NESTED LOOPS | | 1837M| 409G| | 48M (1)|160:23:14 | | 9 | INDEX FAST FULL SCAN | METADATA_BY_PATH | 187K| 21M| | 753 (1)| 00:00:10 | |* 10 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | CONCEPT_DIMENSION_PK | 1769 | | | 56 (0)| 00:00:01 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Predicate Information (identified by operation id): --------------------------------------------------- 3 - access("F"."CONCEPT_CD"="C"."SUB_CODE") 10 - access("SUB"."CONCEPT_PATH" LIKE "SUPER"."C_DIMCODE"||'%') filter("SUB"."CONCEPT_PATH" LIKE "SUPER"."C_DIMCODE"||'%') 2010-12-09 15:42:12.129193 finished after 0:21:53.479341; rows affected: -1
We then used an expedient hack of updating the concept labels to include the stats:
update blueheronmetadata.i2b2 m set m.c_name = ( select distinct case when tots.facts > 0 then case when instr(m.c_name, '[') > 0 then regexp_replace(m.c_name, '\[.*', '') else m.c_name || ' ' end || '[' || (case when tots.facts < 10 then '<10' else to_char(tots.facts) end) || ' facts' || (case when tots.patients < 10 then '' else '; ' || tots.patients || ' patients' end) || ']' else m.c_name end from stats tots where tots.super_path = m.c_dimcode) where m.c_dimcode in (select super_path from stats)
That code is complicated because it has to
- leave out stats regarding fewer than 10 patients (per HIPAA regulations, as part of our DeIdentificationStrategy)
- replace any stats that were already there
That's probably enough detail for others using i2b2 to do likewise, but if you're curious, the script that manages the process is source:heron_load/concepts_stats.py and the ticket (#211) tells the whole saga of approaches that don't work and such.
