Electronic health record (EHR) data hold great promise for evaluating the quality and efficiency of care. Realization of the potential for EHRs requires that data be captured without interfering with clinical workflow and without requiring manual data entry into databases. Efforts to extract EHR data to date have largely depended on natural language processing and have not scaled beyond the settings in which they were developed. 1–4In 2012, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) funded a demonstration performed by Mercy Health (Mercy) whereby unique device identifiers (UDIs) were incorporated into Mercy’s electronic information systems, enabling assessments of cardiovascular device performance using EHR data. 5 The goals and design of the demonstration have been previously described. 6–8 In summary, between May and December 2012, a barcode scanning system was installed in 5 Mercy cardiac catheterization laboratories (Cath Labs) for capturing data on all consumable supplies, including coronary stents. Coronary stent barcodes were used as prototype UDIs and were linked at the patient level with clinical data from the hemodynamic system (Merge Hemo, Merge, Chicago, Illinois, USA) and Mercy’s EHR (EpicCare, Epic, Verona, Wisconsin, USA). A database termed the UDI research database (UDIR) was built that contains EHR-extracted data, UDI-associated coronary stent attributes, and data from other sources, for example, the Social Security Death Master File. The UDIR is updated weekly with EHR data enabling longitudinal follow-up for purposes of device evaluation, including safety surveillance. Details of UDIR content and structure have been published previously 8 and initial
