Framework for Smart Electronic Health Record-Linked Predictive Models to Optimize Care for Complex Digestive Diseases
Abstract
Our major objective is to develop an electronic application capable of integrating and semantically standardizing electronic medical record (EMR) data to generate de-identified datasets populated with longitudinal clinical data drawn from diverse sources. In Year 1 of our project, we have successfully built the infrastructure to support this project. We have defined and generated the EMR-based datasets to be used for algorithm development. In year 2, we will test the ability of this tool to support predictive modeling of the outcomes of complex digestive diseases using Bayesian network (BN) analysis of the generated databases. We will further compare performance among models generated using EMR data alone and data from disease-specific clinical research repositories (with and without genetic data). In collaboration with Walter Reed Army Medical Center, we will share our data acquisition strategies and algorithmic model development. The integration of the two distinct patient populations will lay the groundwork for future data-sharing projects of mutual interest.
