CARRAnet: Building ‘Grass Roots’ Access
     to Subspecialty Research Data
 Software as a Service model: server farm provides a SHRINE
  self-scaling, connected, but private i2b2 ‘cloud’
 Data In
    InForm electronic data capture using standardized forms (for
       now)
    InForm using custom forms (add-on studies) – near future
    Import study data (raw data files plus data mappings –
       spreadsheets, databases, etc) – on the horizon

CARRAnet Researcher Portal
Still in Search of a System that is:

– Convenient for data input:
  • Patients and research subjects, not just for investigators
  • Online consenting for studies
– Manages personal health information for
  research
– Returns data to research subjects and
  consented 3rd parties

Contact and Personally-identifying
        Information Management
– Provides a Unique Identifier for all subjects across
  all CARRA/CARRAnet studies
– Data under site control
– Web-based, centrally hosted
– Based on INDIVO
   • Fine-grained permissions for patient, guardians, family
     members, care providers, etc
   • Subjects can directly enter and update their own data
   • SMArt, ‘research app’ based approach

                                  Harvard           Children’s Hospital
                                  Medical School    Informatics Program
Use Cases:
  Juvenile Arthritis + Eye Disease Registries Collaboration

• Inception cohort of 650 children with
  JIA followed for 5 years
• Technical aims:
  – Subjects enter and manage contact info
  – Match subjects across two different
    registries without exchanging contact or
    personally identifying info
  – Data exchange between registries
  – Introduce ‘low-cost’ consent process

                                   Harvard          Children’s Hospital

New Registry Applications,
                  under Development

• M-CM Network: Patient-advocate
  initiated registry for an especially
  rare disease
• FDA Reporting App: 3rd party
  reporting from patient registries
• Ad-hoc Adverse Events
  Reporting: Post-marketing
  surveillance studies
• Consensus Treatment Plan
  Adherence Tool: Collaborative
  patient-physician views

Editor's Notes

  1. One small field in medicine has been far ahead of most others in measuring the performance of its practitioners: cystic-fibrosis care. For forty years, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has gathered detailed data from the country's cystic-fibrosis treatment centers. It did not begin doing so because it was more enlightened than everyone else. It did so because, in the nineteen-sixties, a pediatrician from Cleveland named LeRoy Matthews was driving people in the field crazy. Matthews had started a cystic-fibrosis treatment program as a young pulmonary specialist at Babies and Children's Hospital, in Cleveland, in 1957, and within a few years was claiming to have an annual mortality rate that was less than two per cent. To anyone treating CF at the time, it was a preposterous assertion. National mortality rates for the disease were estimated to be higher than twenty per cent a year, and the average patient died by the age of three. Yet here was Matthews saying that he and his colleagues could stop the disease from doing serious harm for years. "How long [our patients] will five remains to be seen, but I expect most of them to come to my funeral," he told one conference of physicians. In 1964, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation gave a University of Minnesota pediatrician named Warren Warwick a budget of ten thousand dollars to collect reports on every patient treated at the thirty-one CF centers in the United States that year--data that would test Matthews's claim. Several months later, he had the results: the median estimated age at death for patients in Matthews's center was twenty-one years, seven times the age of patients treated elsewhere. He had not had a single death among patients younger than six in at least five years. Unlike pediatricians elsewhere, Matthews viewed CF as a cumulative disease and provided aggressive treatment long before his patients became sick. He made his patients sleep each night in a plastic tent filled with a continuous, aerosolized water mist so dense you could barely see through it. This thinned the tenacious mucus that clogged their airways and enabled them to cough it up. Like British pediatricians, he also had family members clap on the children's chests daily to help loosen the mucus. After Warwick's report came out, Matthews's treatment quickly became the standard in this count. The American Thoracic Society endorsed his approach, and Warwick's data registry on treatment centers proved to be so useful that the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has continued it ever since.
