Access to SUMC Clinical Data for Research Purposes

The STRIDE Clinical Data Warehouse contains electronic clinical data from both SHC and LPCH, including patient demographics, ICD-coded diagnoses, CPT-coded procedures, clinical documents, surgical pathology reports, radiology reports and laboratory test results. Center consultants will review the clinical data needs of your research project, provide advice on requesting IRB approval to obtain clinical data from STRIDE and discuss options for clinical data abstraction, reporting and storage to meet your research needs.

Privacy and Security

Center consultants will review your research project from a HIPAA perspective, help identify areas of risk and provide recommendations to achieve regulatory compliance and follow data security best practices. Consultants will also provide assistance in meeting data privacy and security requirements for IRB submission.

Research Data Management Best Practices

Center consultants will review options for research data management. We will discuss the tradeoffs of various approaches, summarize research data management best practices and describe the support that we can provide to you toward meeting regulatory requirements such as FDA Part 11.

Overview of Research Data Management Tools

This technical consultation is intended primarily for a research lab’s data manager. You will be given a review of the online data management tools and application development infrastructure provided by the Center to SoM research projects. The review will give you an understanding of the benefits and restrictions of each tool, as well as the technical competence required to use each one. A brief one-on-one hands on training can also be provided.

Budgeting for Informatics and IT Support

Center consultants will help review your project’s data management and informatics needs and assist with developing a budget and Informatics/IT support proposal section for your grant prior to submission. We can also supply you with brief written descriptions of our various supporting services and tools for inclusion in your grant proposal.
