Topic: Leveraging Medical Health Record Data for Identifying Research Study Participants: Practical Guidance on Using Clinical Research Informatics Applications in Your Research

Speakers: Juan Espinoza, MD, FAAP, Assistant Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, Keck School of Medicine of USC, Physician and Director of Clinical Research Informatics, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles; and Mark Abajian, Applications Lead, Clinical Research Informatics, SC CTSI

Overview: Study recruitment remains one of the major challenges to successful clinical and translational science. Medical health record data provide a new source for identifying prospective study participants that fit the eligibility criteria. The speakers will introduce three applications (TriNetX, i2b2, and SHRINE) and provide a step-by-step guide for accessing and using this type of data.
