EHR Pilots – Overview and Current Status 21
Why i. SAEC’s EHR Pilots? § Expand channels to identify/recruit more SAE/ADR cases (Scale) § Need for more specific phenotype/ethnicity/drug mix (Diversity) § More insight into potential yields before case recruitment (Efficiency) § Pace of case identification/ascertainment (Speed) § Insight into EHR opportunities and issues (operational, data quality, privacy, IC, and networking issues) § Better understand how to collaborate across the various EHR players, in light of different objectives, skills and capabilities § Build LT strategic (PGx) research capabilities i.

Issues Associated EHR Based Research 30
Early Report on our Issues/Challenges § New research collaborations always take more time! § Genetics research, leveraging EHR data, is new (groundbreaking) for most of the HMOs/private tertiary hospitals § Limited experience EHR identification and adjudication activities (vs traditional academic networks) § PSP outputs have been essential, but we need > sharing/ publication of “data mining algorithms/approaches” … other phenotypes beyond DILI/SSR/AHSS § Degree of clinical/other data integration across providers (different platforms, ontologies, data structures, etc) § IC variability affecting data release impact 31
Strategic Discussion Points : EHR Supported Genetic Research § How can we better enhance scale and collaboration across potentially large networks? (e. g. , US-EHR vendor consortium, HMORN, IMI initiative(s) and Emerge) § How can we enhance “global” studies (across platforms, cultures, and languages)? § When and how to best involve the (global) regulators? § Need to increase publications and sharing of “data mining algorithms/ approaches. 32
