Standardizing clinical laboratory data for secondary use
Clinical databases provide a rich source of data for answering clinical research questions. However, the variables recorded in clinical data systems are often identified by local, idiosyncratic, and sometimes redundant and/or ambiguous names (or codes) rather than unique, well-organized codes from standard code systems. This reality discourages research use of such databases, because researcher...
متن کاملSecondary Use of Laboratory data: Potentialities and Limitations
Clinical databases have been developed in recent years especially during the course of all medical concerns including laboratory results. The information produced by the diagnostic laboratories have great impact on health care system with various secondary uses. These uses are sometimes as publishing new extracted information of laboratory reports which have been widely applied in the scientifi...
متن کاملIdentifying the Clinical Laboratory Tests from Unspecified "Other Lab Test" Data for Secondary Use
Clinical laboratory results are stored in electronic health records (EHRs) as structured data coded with local or standard terms. However, laboratory tests that are performed at outside laboratories are often simply labeled "outside test" or something similar, with the actual test name in a free-text result or comment field. After being aggregated into clinical data repositories, these ambiguou...
متن کاملStandardizing clinical laboratory data for the development of transferable computer-based diagnostic programs.
The existence of systematic differences between test results obtained at different laboratories can compromise the development of generally accessible reference databases for interpretive pathology. We review approaches to the elimination of inter-laboratory bias from pathology test results through the use of standard unit transformations. A general transform procedure is described that will pe...
متن کاملCharacterizing Secondary Use of Clinical Data
The increasing reliance on electronic health data has created new opportunities for the secondary use of clinical data to impact practice. We analyzed the secondary uses of clinical data at the University of Washington (UW) to better understand the types of users and uses as well as the benefits and limitations of these electronic data. At the UW, a diverse population is utilizing different ele...
