CLINICAL DATA AS THE BASIC STAPLE OF HEALTH LEARNING: CREATING AND PROTECTING A PUBLIC GOOD


A LEARNING HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WORKSHOP IOM ROUNDTABLE ON EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE

FEBRUARY 28–29, 2008

THE KECK CENTER OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES

WASHINGTON, DC 20001

Issues Motivating the Discussion

  1. Discovering what works best in medical care—including for whom and under what circumstances—requires that clinical data be carefully nurtured as a resource for continuous learning.

  2. Transformational opportunities are presented by evolving large and potentially interoperable clinical and administrative datasets.

  3. Clinical data are recorded and held in multiple activities and many institutions, including medical records, administrative and claims records, and research studies.

  4. Public policy and public awareness lag behind the technical, organizational, and legal capacity for reliable safeguarding of individual privacy and data security in mining clinical data for new knowledge.

  5. A significant challenge to progress resides in the barriers and restrictions that derive from the treatment of medical care data as a proprietary commodity by the organizations involved.

  1. Even clinical research and medical care data developed with public funds are often not available for broader analysis and insights.

  2. Broader access and use of healthcare data for new insights requires not only fostering data system reliability and interoperability, but addressing the matter of individual data ownership and the extent to which data central to progress in health and health care should constitute a public good.

Goal: To explore these issues, identify potential approaches, and discuss possible strategies for their engagement.

What purposes drive the collection of healthcare data in the United States and what is the system’s current profile?
