Redwood Shores, Calif. - Jan. 31, 2012
The Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School research team will create an IT framework that helps to extract, manage and analyze relevant data from electronic medical records and medical claims to enable causal inference and improve comparison of the effectiveness of various treatments. The team will also work to develop a repeatable approach that allows organizations to use the framework to better understand the relationships between prescription drug use and health outcomes.
The Human-Computer Interaction Lab at the University of Maryland will expand development of a tool to facilitate the visualization of patient clinical data patterns over time, as they apply to drug safety signals in large repositories of longitudinal healthcare and claims data. Visual data has been proven to significantly improve the thought processes of researchers. As such, the newly-designed tool is expected to help accelerate and broaden adverse events analysis, leading to new insights, as well as expanded research opportunities.
