The service infrastructure consists centralized support staff on the USC Keck Campus. Embedded staff members are familiar with local practices, policies, and workflows and serve as informatics liaisons between the research community and the clinical operations community.
IRB approval is required whenever a researcher is requesting information beyond aggregate patient counts or outside of *limited data sets. Please explicitly state in your IRB application and or amendment the use of i2b2 and all of the data elements requested. For example, if requesting MRN, phone and medication orders, this must be clearly stated and approved in your IRB application and or amendment. Alternatively, you may run your query in i2b2, submit an i2b2 data request and attach that data request number generated by the system in your IRB application or amendment. For more clarification regarding your specific request, please email cri@usc.edu to set a time to review your scenario.
