Health Services Research and Data Linkages: Issues, Methods, and Directions for the Future

Abstract: The current environment is characterized by budget and technical challenges, but investments in data infrastructure are arguably cost-effective given the need to reform our health care system and to monitor the impact of health reform initiatives.

“…Standardization enables data collected from different studies, centers, or hospitals to be comparable, understandable, and exchangeable (interoperable). By standardizing terms, clinicians and researchers can combine results from their research efforts with those of other studies and networks, as well as with clinical care records, or link to subject-level data with population-based environmental 23 or public health data, 24 Figure 1 illustrates an "is-a" hierarchy (albuterol is a bronchodilator agent). Another common structure is a "partof" hierarchy, which is often used to organize anatomic concepts.…”

“…It has been shown that infrastructure to support data linkages (disease registries, clinical data from EMRs, etc) could significantly impact translational research and patient outcomes, yet gaps in capacity across research and medical settings exist [12]. The biggest data linkage issue between sites is entity resolution: it is difficult to tell whether or not two patients are identical or not.…”
