Role of Informatics, SW and HW in PM. Big data and Healthcare

How Lab and Clinics can be connected. Oncologist, Hematologist use labs in clinical setting, Role of IT and Technology in the environment of the Clinicians

Compare Stanford Medical Center and Harvard Medical Center and Duke Medical Center — THREE different models in Healthcare data management

Create novel solutions: Capture the voice of the patient for integration of component: Volume, Veracity, Value

Decisions need to be made in short time frame, documentation added after the fact

No system can be perfect in all aspects

Understanding clinical record for conversion into data bases – keeping quality of data collected

Key Topics

Panelists:

Stephen Eck, M.D., Ph.D.
Vice President, Global Head of Oncology Medical Sciences,
Astellas, Inc.

Small data expert, great advantage to small data. Populations data allows for longitudinal studies,

Big Mac Big Data – Big is Good — Is data been collected suitable for what is it used, is it robust, limitations, of what the data analysis mean

Data analysis in Chemical Libraries – now annotated

Diversity data in NOTED by MDs, nuances are very great, Using Medical Records for building Billing Systems

Cases when the data needed is not known or not available — use data that is available — limits the scope of what Valuable solution can be arrived at

In Clinical Trial: needs of researchers, billing clinicians — in one system

Translation of data on disease to data object

Signal to Noise Problem — Thus Big data provided validity and power

Scientific Director, Massachusetts Veterans Epidemiology Research
and Information Center (MAVERIC), VA Boston Healthcare System;
Chief Division of Aging, Brigham and Women’s Hospital;
Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School

at BWH since 1987 at 75% – push forward the Genomics Agenda, VA system 25% – VA is horizontally data integrated embed research and knowledge — baseline questionnaire 200,000 phenotypes – questionnaire and Genomics data to be integrated, Data hierarchical way to be curated, Simple phenotypes, validate phenotypes, Probability to have susceptibility for actual disease, Genomics Medicine will benefit Clinicians

Data must be of visible quality, collect data via Telephone VA – on Med compliance study, on Ability to tolerate medication

–>>Annotation assisted in building a tool for Neurologist on Alzheimer’s Disease (AlzSWAN knowledge base) (see also Genotator , a Disease-Agnostic Tool for Annotation)

–>>Curation of data is very different than statistical analysis of Clinical Trial Data

–>>Integration of data at VA and at BWH are tow different models of SUCCESSFUL data integration models, accessing the data is also using a different model

–>>Data extraction from the Big data — an issue

–>>Where the answers are in the data, build algorithms that will pick up causes of disease: Alzheimer’s – very difficult to do

–>>system around all stakeholders: investment in connectivity, moving data, individual silo, HR, FIN, Clinical Research

–>>Biobank data and data quality

 

Krishna Yeshwant, M.D.
General Partner, Google Ventures;
Physician, Brigham and Women’s Hospital

Computer Scientist and Medical Student. Were the technology is going?

Messy situation, interaction IT and HC, Boston and Silicon Valley are focusing on Consumers, Google Engineers interested in developing Medical and HC applications — HUGE interest. Application or Wearable – new companies in this space, from Computer Science world to Medicine – Enterprise level – EMR or Consumer level – Wearable — both areas are very active in Silicon Valley

IT stuff in the hospital HARDER that IT in any other environment, great progress in last 5 years, security of data, privacy. Sequencing data cost of big data management with highest security

Constrained data vs non-constrained data

Opportunities for Government cooperation as a Lead needed for standardization of data objects

 

Questions from the Podium:

• Where is the Truth: do we have all the tools or we don’t for Genomic data usage
• Question on Interoperability
• Big Valuable data — vs Big data
• quality, uniform, large cohort, comprehensive Cancer Centers
• Volume of data can compensate quality of data
• Data from Imaging – Quality and interpretation – THREE radiologist will read cancer screening
