Human Studies Database (HSDB) Application at Duke University
Swati Chakraborty, ME
AMIA – TBI-CRI Joint Meeting March 23, 2012
• Overview of Current Landscape– Duke University Research site – Duke Clinical Research Institute – Data Coordinating Center
• HSDB Application Scope • Proposed Strategic Solution
– Changes towards Future state– Critical Success Factors
• Discussion & next step
Outline
DUKE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER
• Academic Medical Center– Education– Research– Patient Care
• Tertiary Care/Level A• 4 Hospitals• 150+ Clinics and Practices• 1500+ Beds
Jeff Ferranti et al.
• World’s largest ARO• Full-Service Capabilities• A global coordinating center for multi-
center clinical trials • Founded in 1969 Duke Databank for
Cardiovascular Diseases • >20 years in >20 therapeutic areas• 900+ staff and 120 faculty• Over 4,600 manuscripts in peer-
reviewed journals• Over 420 projects in 64 countries• Over 579,900 patients

• Research portfolio - no institutional mechanism to capture or report
• Project information exists in many siloed systems• No systematic method to collate data • Most project information managed in systems/
spreadsheets by individual departments, SBR’s and research personnel
• Reporting attempt - inefficient and inaccurate• Leadership level monitoring of research portfolio –
almost impossible !

• on-line research tool for Duke investigators access to clinical information thru EHR
• Aggregate - operations, quality and research• Secondary analysis, cohort selection• demographics, lab data, ICD-9 diagnoses,
CPT procedures, inpatient meds, CPOE orders

• Research portfolio - no institutional mechanism to capture or report
• Project information exists in many siloed systems• No systematic method to collate data • Reporting attempt – incomplete • Most project information is managed in various
systems like EPM, CTMS, PACT and research personnel – Leadership level portfolio monitoring - Dashboard a

• IRB - gatekeeper to all studies – site based research to DCC• Strategy for Ongoing Consolidations• Electronic health record - Epic
Ongoing Progress so far……
Enterprise Level Solution - RPR
• Centralized Data Repository - allow storage of project data from multiple systems
• Business Process Flow – Institutional unique ID - all research projects, across systems, lifecycle
• Research Service – One stop shop - investigators maintain grants
• Efficiency - Basic info collected once & shared • Portfolio Management – Access to systems (SPS, eIRB, SAP/R3) -
warehouse reporting and tracking
• Enable interconnectivity - thru identifier, cross system reporting
• Operational boundaries – IRB Approvals, Grants management
Solution - Research Project Registry
Policy level - VC research -- TMQF– Need mandate at institution level – Need culture change – Need new business practice
•Requires “broad view” of research at Duke – how individual projects fit into portfolio and why it is important•Data must be current and readily available •Must be interfaced whenever possible to existing systems•Research personnel must incorporate the registry as part of day to day workflow
