HERON & Green HERON

HERON

(HERON) is a free self service tool for researchers to query and analyze an integrated clinical data repository of the electronic health record (EHR) for participant identification and recruitment.

(Green HERON) is a highly protected health data analytic space where approved users can work with de-identified health information.The analytics space offers a rich set of tools, services, and resources required by research Within the protected environment, Green HERON users are provided the ability to select analytic tools such as R, SAS, and Python.

REDCAp

REDCap

REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) enables rapid project development and provides users with advanced functionality, complete autonomy and control of a project and direct exports to common statistical packages. REDCap surveys and databases are HIPAA compliant and include audit trails.

C3OD

C3OD

C3OD merges data from the electronic medical record, tumor registry, bio-specimen and data registry, and allows querying through a single unified platform. By centralizing access and maintaining appropriate controls, C3OD allows researchers to more rapidly obtain detailed information about each patient in order to accelerate eligibility screening. This case report describes the design of this informatics platform as well as initial assessments of its reliability and usability.

GeoMarker

GeoMarker

According to Children's Mercy Hospital, "GeoMarker is a HIPAA-compliant web application for geocoding addresses. Geocoding is the process of converting a text address to coordinates for mapping. GeoMarker can be used to get the point location (latitude and longitude) for a list of addresses (batch geocoding), aggregate census geographic identifiers, determine drive time to pediatric care centers, determine neighborhood indicators, and obtain composite Area Deprivation Index score for geocoded addresses".

COSMOS

COSMOS

As described by Cosmos by Epic, "Cosmos is a dataset created in collaboration with a community of health systems using Epic and is designed to improve patient care. By combining their data, participating organizations and Epic can make new discoveries and advance medicine. Cosmos also powers tools at the point of care, providing insights to clinicians that are tailored to the patient in front of them.". Retrieved from https://cosmos.epic.com/
