项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This STTR proposal to the National Institute on Aging (NIA) requests funding to expand the capabilities of the Medicare Research Information Center (MedRIC) recently established by Acumen LLC with earlier support from NIA. The purpose of MedRIC is to facilitate the acquisition and linking of administrative data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to participants of surveys and registries sponsored by NIH and other federal agencies. Through expanding the capacities of MedRIC, Acumen will establish an infrastructure capable of vastly reducing the costs and burdens that researchers must bear to attain and use CMS administrative data in conjunction with popular federally-funded surveys/registries. To date, MedRIC's activities have focused on linking functional research files derived from Medicare data to NIA-supported surveys. The aim of this new SBIR/STTR is to extend this linkage of Medicare data to incorporate information from two addition CMS data sources: (i) Medicaid enrollment and claims files, and (ii) the Minimum Data Set (MDS)?which describes the circumstances of nursing home residents. MedRIC will carry out this effort with several prominent NIA-supported surveys as project partners. To meet the goals of this project, Phase I will accomplish seven specific tasks: (1) formalize arrangements with CMS for adding the MDS and parts of Medicaid enrollment and claims files to the data inventories of MedRIC; (2) develop an approach for linking information about beneficiaries across the different health administrative data sources maintained by CMS (i.e., across Medicare, MDS and Medicaid); (3) conduct a pilot project demonstrating the effectiveness of the linkage approach created in Task 2; (4) work with CMS and our project survey partners?which include HRS, PSID and NLTCS?to establish protocols that maintain data privacy, recognizing that each survey must satisfy not only a common set but also its own unique confidentially requirements; (5) complete plans for the creation of several ?standardized? research data structures processed from the raw CMS administrative files, formulated to integrate information across several administrative sources and to meet the needs of a broad range of researchers and policy analysts; (6) prepare plans for comprehensive data documentation to make specific data elements easily understood and retrievable by potential users; and (7) produce plans for the computer infrastructure needed for data storage, linkage and extraction.

描述（由申请人提供）：向国家老龄问题研究所（NIA）提交的这份STTR提案要求提供资金，以扩大Acumen LLC最近在NIA早期支持下建立的医疗保险研究信息中心（MedRIC）的能力。MedRIC的目的是便于从医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（CMS）获取管理数据，并将其与NIH和其他联邦机构赞助的调查和登记研究的参与者联系起来。通过扩大MedRIC的能力，Acumen将建立一个基础设施，能够大大降低研究人员必须承担的成本和负担，以获得和使用CMS管理数据，并结合流行的联邦资助的调查/登记。迄今为止，MedRIC的活动集中在将来自医疗保险数据的功能研究文件与NIA支持的调查联系起来。这一新的SBIR/STTR的目的是扩展医疗保险数据的这种联系，以纳入来自两个附加CMS数据源的信息：（i）医疗补助登记和索赔文件，以及（ii）最小数据集（MDS）？它描述了养老院居民的情况。MedRIC将与几个著名的NIA支持的调查作为项目合作伙伴开展这项工作。为了实现该项目的目标，第一阶段将完成七项具体任务：（1）与CMS正式达成协议，将MDS和部分医疗补助登记和索赔文件添加到MedRIC的数据库存中;（2）开发一种方法，将CMS维护的不同卫生管理数据源中的受益人信息联系起来（即，（3）开展一个试点项目，以证明任务2中创建的联系方法的有效性;（4）与CMS和我们的项目调查合作伙伴合作？包括HRS、PSID和NLTCS？建立维护数据隐私的协议，认识到每个调查不仅必须满足一个共同的集合，而且还必须满足自己独特的保密要求;（5）完成创建几个？标准化？研究数据结构是从内容管理系统原始行政文件处理而来的，其设计目的是综合若干行政来源的信息，满足广泛的研究人员和政策分析人员的需要;（6）编制综合数据文件计划，使潜在用户易于理解和检索具体的数据要素;以及（7）为数据存储、连接和提取所需的计算机基础设施制定计划。
