P101001 - Tools to integrate data in i2b2
 
i2b2 has
turned out to be a very valuable component for secondary use of routine
clinical data. Its pragmatic database schema allows merging of data from
heterogeneous data sources, and the intuitive user interface enables easy
querying and powerful processing. However, it's a component rather than a
complete solution: The user is facing several barriers when integrating i2b2
into the operational workflow. Even though the i2b2 team did an exceptionally
good job in documenting the whole system and providing an easy-to-use virtual
machine for demonstration purposes, it's still hard to combine i2b2 with custom
solutions. Although the database schema is easy to understand, a significant
effort has to be spent to preprocess and import data as i2b2 provides only
limited support for importing data through the workbench, but no way to
automate a suitable ETL process (Extraction, Transformation and Loading). This
also applies for terminologies that are required to access the data. The
Integrated Data Repository Toolkit (IDRT) was conceived to address both the
issue of setup and administration as well as the ability to import clinical
data in several standard formats, including terminologies.

P000022 - Generic Data Concepts 2.0
 
Guide to data protection in medical research
projects: TMF’s generic solutions 2.0.
TMF’s new generic data protection concepts were
published as a book in 2014. As with the original edition from 2003, this
updated publication was written in close collaboration with leading data
protection experts. As a result, the German association of government data
protection officers at national and federal state level has recommended the
guide to medical research projects and cross-facility teams who are looking to
develop their own data privacy documentation. The new concept offers a modular
structure designed to support the complex nature of medical research processes,
and it has now also been published as part of a comprehensive guide.

P100201 - Software prevent the re-identification
 
Not in all research projects is it possible to
rule out re-identification of individuals or samples by anonymization, i.e.
deleting the identifiers. Assuming appropriate additional knowledge is
available, sensitive health-related information can possibly also be retrieved
from anonymous databases. The Anon Tool helps avoiding this by coarsening the medical
data by means of k-anonymization and l-diversity.
