Enabling Turnkey Perinatal Research and Reporting

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究和开发项目的长期目标是通过商业软件平台，对来自社区、州或国家的大量未开发的围产期临床数据进行汇总和分析。这种汇总和分析可以导致增加循证临床干预措施，最终改善围产期结局。第一阶段的具体目标是系统地设计，开发和评估一个商业软件平台，催化收集离散的电子围产期数据从不同的来源到一个共同的研究数据库，并创建工具，使临床医生可以轻松地查询和提取数据库中的数据。该软件平台，特别是为临床医生设计的数据库查询工具，将由eNATAL，LLC开发，并在2个试点学术机构和其他先前已实施eNATAL，LLC现有电子产前护理系统产品的远程站点进行beta测试。该项目的第二阶段将把这一研究平台的使用范围从试点扩大到区域围产中心，建立其围产信息技术基础设施，并将其“外国”数据集纳入研究数据库。然后将开始大规模收集和分析产前、产时和结局数据，以确定产前风险因素，并根据基于风险的干预措施启动围产期结局研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of this research and development project is to enable the aggregation and analysis of largely untapped perinatal clinical data from a community, state, or nation with a commercially-available software platform. Such aggregation and analysis can lead to an increase in evidence-based clinical interventions that can ultimately lead to improved perinatal outcomes. The specific aims of Phase I are to systematically design, develop, and evaluate a commercial software platform that catalyzes the collection of discrete electronic perinatal data from diverse sources into a common research database, and to create tools that will allow clinicians to easily query and extract data from that database. This software platform, and particularly the database query tools designed for clinicians, will be developed by eNATAL, LLC and beta-tested at 2 pilot academic institutions and other remote sites that have previously implemented eNATAL, LLC's existing electronic prenatal care system product. Phase II of this project will expand the use of this research platform from pilot sites to regional perinatal centers, build their perinatal information technology infrastructures, and incorporate their "foreign" datasets into the research database. Large-scale collection and analysis of prenatal, intrapartum, and outcome data will then begin in order to identify prenatal risk factors and to initiate perinatal outcome studies based on risk-based interventions.
