Abstract

<p>Integrating clinical data with administrative data across disparate electronic medical record systems will help improve the internal and external validity of comparative effectiveness research. The Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) currently collects administrative information from 43 pediatric hospital members of the Child Health Corporation of America (CHCA). Members of the Pediatric Research in Inpatient Settings (PRIS) network have partnered with CHCA and the University of Utah Biomedical Informatics Core to create an enhanced version of PHIS that includes clinical data. A specialized version of a data federation architecture from the University of Utah ("FURTHeR") is being developed to integrate the clinical data from the member hospitals into a common repository ("PHIS+") that is joined with the existing administrative data. We report here on our process for the first phase of federating lab data, and present initial results.</p>
