Research Patient Data Repositories (RPDRs) have become essential infrastructure for traditional Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) programs and increasingly for a wide range of research consortia 1–4 and learning health system networks. Almost every institution with a CTSA or Clinical Translational Research (CTR) program (found in states with lower amounts of National Institutes of Health funding) hosts an RPDR for the benefit of affiliated researchers. These repositories aim to enable healthcare research based upon the patient populations they serve. Within the institution, RPDRs are valuable for a range of research activities. They are used to identify patients for clinical trial recruitment using privacy-preserving methods to search and extract specific cohorts of trial-eligible patients. They aid in the development and validation of computable phenotypes that are increasingly important for identifying patient cohorts accurately and in a reproducible fashion. RPDRs provide deidentified patient data for population health research and support a growing body of artificial intelligence work for predicting patient outcomes. Further, clinical studies can often be simulated using data from an RPDR. Beyond the institution, aggregates of deidentified datasets from multiple institutions linked with privacy-preserving hash codes provide an unprecedented opportunity to conduct population health research, perform comparative effectiveness analyses, and apply artificial intelligence methods over large and diverse populations. Overall, the benefits of the RPDR for accelerating translational research can be large. For example, at Harvard, in 2006, between $94 and $136 million in annual research funding was linked to use of data from the RPDR. 5 The data contained within the RPDR vary across institutions, based on institutional strengths and weaknesses; the papers published in this issue reflect that variability (see Table 1). Most commonly, data are acquired from local electronic health record (EHR) and other clinical information systems that captured information during clinical care. Data consist of diagnoses, problem lists, procedures, prescribed medications, laboratory exams, and many types of free-text reports. As shown in Table 1, some RPDRs enhance the coded data available to researchers using natural language processing methods. RPDRs increasingly contain additional types of data, including genomic data derived from biobanked samples, clinical trial data, survey data such as patient-reported outcomes, and data from health insurance claims. Medical and electronic devices have become important sources of data, including that obtained within the hospital, such as imaging and intensive care unit monitoring, and that obtained outside the hospital from wearables and home measurements. Data on social determinants of health from questionnaires, death data from state and national death indexes, and geocoded environmental data, including potential toxins and weatherrelated data, are also increasingly available. This special issue of JAMIA describes some of the current research, approaches, applications, and best practices for RDPRs. The issue includes a wide range of active research in this area and includes 11 research and applications papers 6–16 and 4 case reports. 17–20
