3 Purpose Demonstrate feasibility of creating a hierarchical flowsheet ontology in i2b2 using data derived information models Determine the underlying informatics and technical issues Demonstrate the applicability of flowsheet data to Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guidelines on patient outcomes

4 Requirements for Useful Data Common data models Standardized coding of data Standardized queries

5

6 Vision Inclusion Nursing and Other Interprofessional Data Clinical Data NMDS Other Data Sets Management Data NMMDS Continuum of Care 6

7 Example Flowsheet

8 Flowsheet Data Challenges Volume of data There are multiple measures for the same concepts Different people building screens Software upgrades Discipline/ practice specific needs No information models exist Data driven information modeling required

9 Information Model Development Process Identify Clinical Data Model Topic Identify Concepts Map Flowsheets to Concepts Present Validate

10 UMN Academic Health Center CDR Flowsheets constitute 34% of all data 14,564 measure types 2,972 groups 562 templates 1.2 billion observations 2,000 measures cover 95% of observations

11 Sample Data Source Clinical Data Models T 562 Groups 2,696 Flowsheet Data from 10/20/ /27/ ,660 patients 199,665 encounters Flowsheet Measures 14,550 Data Points 153,049,704

12 Development Process Details Identify clinical topic important to researchers/ operations Develop a list of concepts from research questions, clinical guidelines and literature Search for concepts in templates/groups/measures Search associated groups for additional concepts Add matched concepts to running list Categorize into assessment and interventions Organize into hierarchy Combine similar concepts that have similar value sets Validated by a second researcher

13 Flowsheet Information Models Pain Falls/ Safety Peripheral Neurovascular (VTE) Genitourinary System/ CAUTI Pressure Ulcers Cardiovascular System Gastrointestinal System Neuromusculoskeletal System Respiratory system Vital Signs, Height & Weight Aggression and Interpersonal Violence Psychiatric Mental Status Exam Substance Abuse Suicide and Self Harm

14 Example Information Model 57 Unique Flowsheet Measures

15 What is i2b2? Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) Framework for research cohort discovery

16 Example Vital Signs Traditional i2b2 Model Extended Flowsheet i2b2 Model

17 Informatics Issues Encountered Redundancy flowsheet and value sets 7 blood pressure and 10 heart rate measures Mapped multiple flowsheet measures to same concept Variations in value sets Created a unique list of all for same concept Measures with similar names represented different concept i.e. search display name Urine Output R IP URINE FOLEY URINE OUTPUT URINE OUTPUT.MODIFIED ALDRETE R NEPROSTOMY URINE OUTPUT URINE OUTPUT (ML) 0 unable to void and uncomfortable 1 unable to void but comfortable 2 has voided, adequate urine output per device, or not applicable

18 Technical Issues Encountered Free text response Included name of measure, no data included in i2b2 Multi response items Created a separate row OBSERVATION_FACT table Choice list comment or other option Created a row for each type of comment Numeric response measures units of measure not clearly identifiable Modified name to include unit of measure Mapping issues Changed names to exclude * / \ < >? % Constructed synthetic value item id s Names must be unique within first 32 characters Changed from fully specified names to multiple levels

19 Discussion/ Conclusion Flowsheet data represent the largest portion of CDR, rich source of nursing and interprofessional clinical data Created 14 information models, 81M observations Transformed models for flowsheet measures into i2b2 Identified a number of informatics and technical issues and developed processes for managing these issues Continue to clean up information models External validation initiated Flowsheet data can extend knowledge of interprofessional evidence based practice to improve health outcomes

20 Next Steps External validation of information models with additional organizations Adding conceptual definitions Mapping to standardized terminology LOINC/ SNOMED CT Demonstrate comparative effectiveness research across organizations Collaborate with other common data model efforts to expand CDMs to include assessments and additional interventions in IM s derived from flowsheet data

23 Introduction Sepsis or septicemia has doubled from 2000 to 2008 Hospitalizations increased 70% Severe sepsis and septic shock have higher mortality 18% 40% Patients are sicker, have longer length of stay, more expensive EBP guidelines (SSC) could lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment Guidelines are not fully implemented in clinical practice The effectiveness of these guidelines are unclear

24 Aim The overall aim is to evaluate and extend evidence based guidelines for patients with health disparities for the prevention and management of sepsis complications 1. Map EHRs data to SSC guideline recommendations 2. Estimate the compliance with the SSC guideline recommendations; and 3. Estimate the effect of the SSC individual recommendations on the prevention of in hospital mortality and sepsis related complications

25 Data Source De identified EHR data obtained, after Institutional Review Board approval Data obtained from a Midwest hospital All data from patients hospitalized between 1/1/09 12/31/11 (including all encounters through 12/31/13) Billing diagnosis code of sepsis (ICD 9: 785.5*, 038.*, 998.*, 599.*, 995.9*) 1,993 patients (1,270 with little missing data) 189 (177) Severe sepsis/ septic shock ( and 785.5*) 1,804 (1,093) Other sepsis diagnoses Exclusion criteria: Patients with cardiogenic shock Patients with no antibiotic therapy

26 Study Sequence Baseline and Comorbidities Propensity Score Matching TimeZero Onset of Sepsis Start SSC Recommendations Mortality and complications

27 Baseline Sociodemographics Age Gender Race/ ethnicity Payer (Medicaid for low income) Vital signs Heart rate (HR) Respiratory Rate (RR) Temperature (Temp) Mean arterial pressure (MAP) Laboratory results Lactate White Blood Cell Count (WBC)

28 Sepsis Time Zero At least 2 of the following criteria: MAP < 65 HR > 100 RR > 20 Temp < 95 or > F WBC < 4 or > 12 Lactate > 2.0

29 Baseline/ Outcomes 5 outcome variables In hospital mortality New complication (in hospital and up to 30 days after discharge) Cerebrovascular Respiratory Cardiovascular Kidney

31 Data Preparation Matching SSC guidelines to data elements Data quality assessment based on literature and domain knowledge Missing values (lactate 7.7%, temp 3%, WBC 3%) Out of range values (CVP, > 50 for 133 patients, some negative values Excluded negative values and those > 30 For each data element, we evaluated range and created rules for suitable range Compared with other values i.e. MAP and SBP/ DBP Determine use of one or more flowsheet measures for vital signs

32 Flowsheet Data Needed Concept (number unique measures) Concept (number unique measures) Heart rate (8) IV (11) Respirations (3) Weight (5) Temperature (1) Urine output (15) CVP (3) Dialysis (3) MAP/ BP (15) Ventilator (3)

37 Limitations Small sample size No attempt to add guideline timing of 3 or 6 hours Guidelines as a whole may affect outcome vs single recommendations within guideline no comparison group Timing of data used ( ) may not reflect current practice SSC Guidelines may not have been thoroughly implemented at health organization

38 Conclusions Flowsheet data are useful for research EHR data can be used to estimate compliance with individual guideline recommendations EHR can be used to estimate the effect of the guideline adherence on sepsis related complications Some guideline recommendations are protective for patients for certain outcomes Other variables may be needed to control for variation in severity of illness or variation in practice
