... As part of its information-gathering activities, the committee organized three workshops to collect input from stakeholders on the PCOR data infrastructure, which includes a variety of types of data, such as clinical data, research data, administrative data from payer records, and patientprovided data. This report, the third in a series of three interim reports, summarizes the discussion and committee conclusions from the third workshop, which focused on ways of enhancing collaborations, data linkages, 1
From page 254...
... CONCLUSION 2-1: Collaboration among federal agencies and be tween federal agencies and other partners (such as states, patient groups, and others) is essential for continuing to build the patient centered outcomes research data infrastructure.
From page 255...
... CONCLUSION 2-2: There is a need to increase awareness among all stakeholders about new data infrastructure developments funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund. Increased aware ness will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of research, which will increase the impact of the investments made in infrastructure development.
From page 256...
... CONCLUSION 4-1: Infrastructure investments could enhance the util ity of data routinely generated in the course of care for clinical trials. PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS While the benefits of data sharing are clear, the workshop also underscored the risks involved for the organizations providing the data.
From page 257...
... . The PCOR data infrastructure provides decision makers with objective, scientific evidence on the effectiveness of treatments, services, and other interventions used in health care.
From page 258...
... The remaining funding, which constitutes 4 percent of the PCOR Trust Fund, is allocated for building data capacity for PCOR and is overseen by ASPE. Specifically, Section 937(f)
From page 259...
... As the coordinating agency for the data infrastructure investment portfolio across HHS agencies, ASPE guides the PCOR data infrastructure's strategic framework and vision, sets funding priorities, and coordinates interagency workgroups. ASPE's work is assisted by a Leadership Council for the PCOR Trust Fund, which includes representatives from other HHS agencies, including the Administration for Children and Families; the Administration for Community Living; AHRQ; the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
From page 260...
... During the period from 2010 to 2019, the PCOR Trust Fund funded 53 projects, which translated to 76 agency awards, totaling approximately $131 million. Figure 1-2 is a visual representation of ASPE's current framework for the PCOR data infrastructure.

... . Linking of Clinical and Other Data for Research Researchers will be able to follow patients across the care continuum over time, including those enrolled in clinical trials.
From page 263...
... Policies are standards of behavior that participants can rely on consistently to build patient-centered data for research. Policies may include federal policies, as well as models for standardized state and local policies, that will lead to a trusted framework within the patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR)
From page 264...
... That first interim report summarized the discussion and committee conclusions from the first workshop, which focused on looking ahead at data user needs over the next decade.3 The second interim report in the series centered on data standards, methods, and policies that could make the PCOR data infrastructure more useful.4 This report summarizes the discussion and committee conclusions from the third workshop, which focused on ways of enhancing collaborations, data linkages, and the interoperability of electronic databases to make the PCOR data infrastructure more useful in the years ahead. As an interim report focused on one in a series of information-gathering activities, the scope of this report is limited to a subset of the topics relevant to the committee's charge, and the conclusions reached by the committee are, at this stage, fairly high-level.
From page 265...
... • Assess anticipated changes to health care priorities and priorities for health data and their impact on building data capacity into the foresee able future, as identified by ASPE. • Evaluate the feasibility and utility of developing a phased-in approach to building the interoperable data capacity for patient-centered outcomes research with existing databases in Department of Health and Human Services, other federal departments, and the private sector in a phased approach, such as projects identified in the Cures Act Title III Section 4003 (Interoperability)
From page 266...
... ; clinical trial networks and collaborations (Chapter 4) ; publicprivate partnerships (Chapter 5)
From page 267...
... APPENDIX D 267 INTRODUCTION 15 The conclusions are based primarily on the input collected as part of the workshop, background documentation received from ASPE and other public sources, and the committee members' synthesis and expert judgment. Because this is an interim report, the committee's conclusions at this stage are big-picture conclusions, which will be integrated with additional input over the course of the study.
From page 269...
... Micky Tripathi, National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, discussed the work that the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) is doing to support activities related to patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR)
From page 270...
... Such tools can safeguard patient privacy and support appropriate stewardship practices in which real patient data are only accessed and used when necessary. These and other mentioned projects have been funded through the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund (PCORTF)
From page 271...
... Blue Button leverages FHIR standards, also discussed by Tripathi. CMS data linkage projects that have been funded by the PCOR Trust Fund include3 • Augmenting the National Hospital Care Survey Data through Linkages with Administrative Records; • National COVID-19 Longitudinal Research Database, which is linked to CMS data; and • National Death Index -- Medicare Enrollment Data Linkage.
From page 272...
... Khau noted that federal datasets often are not disaggregated by key demographic variables, such as race, ethnicity, gender, disability, income, and veteran status. CMS is working on gaining a better understanding of what datasets contain data elements of interest, and what standards are being used.
From page 273...
... , said that the FDA has 13 projects that are funded by the PCOR Trust Fund.7 The projects are as follows: 4 https://aspe.hhs.gov/basic-report/hhs-implementation-guidance-data-collection-standards race-ethnicity-sex-primary-language-and-disability-status. 5 https://data.cms.gov/mapping-medicare-disparities.

... and Commercial Claims; • Making Medicaid Data More Accessible Through Common Data Models and FHIR APIs; • SHIELD - Standardization of Lab Data to Enhance Patient-Centered Outcomes and Value-Based Care; • Source Data Capture from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) : Using Standardized Clinical Research Data; • Standardization and Querying of Data Quality Metrics and Char acteristics for Electronic Health Data; • Utilizing Data from Various Data Partners in a Distributed Manner; and • WHT-CRN Project: Bridging the PCOR Infrastructure and Innova tion through Coordinated Registry Network (CRN)
From page 277...
... She argued that the integration of health care and clinical research will require a change in culture that begins at the point of care, where data are generated. Regarding suggestions for building an interoperable data capacity for PCOR, Rocca highlighted the following: • Linking existing databases within HHS and other federal govern ment agencies and the private sector; • Developing a universal data use agreement; • Applying tools, standards, and services developed as part of PCOR Trust Fund projects to other types of HHS data; • Encouraging the development of common architectures and inte gration frameworks to enable interoperability, rather than develop ing single solutions; and • Focusing the PCOR Trust Fund investments on cutting-edge solu tions that may result in technical leaps.
From page 278...
... PPRL solutions are now available through commercial vendors, and PPRL algorithms have been applied to large, commercially available health datasets, such as laboratory data, pharmacy data, claims information, and EHRs. There are also many published examples of real-world applications of PPRL and their associated benefits, and Gundlapalli argued that these benefits have to be balanced with the risk to privacy and the efforts required to implement PPRL solutions.
From page 279...
... An example is the NICHD Data and Specimen Hub, which allows clinical research data, including PROs, to be posted and shared. NICHD also funds the Data Sharing for Demographic Research infrastructure, which provides curation and archiving services for data relevant to health policy and health systems research as well as broader demographic research.
From page 280...
... These linkages would make it possible to monitor the impact of emerging public health concerns, such as infectious diseases, to examine the adverse effects of commonly used medications during pregnancy and postpartum on the pregnant person and the infant, and to determine predictive models that can help address various inequities such as inequalities in maternal morbidity and mortality. Cernich noted that NICHD is leading a consortium of projects focused on maternal health to enable coordination and collaboration within this portfolio through the PCOR Trust Fund.
From page 281...
... While a complete alignment is probably impossible, HHS efforts to harmonize standards are helping remove the barriers posed by the lack of standardization. Kean also underscored the value of HHS support for the development of opensource tools around agreed-upon standards and data models so that the consistency of the work around clinical data improves and also reduces the barrier to entry.
From page 282...
... In the future, technology solutions such as blockchain technologies could greatly advance the PCOR data infrastructure. Inherent in every blockchain technology is a distributed ledger, which documents all manipulation and use of data and helps to prevent any unauthorized use.
From page 283...
... However, the discussion also made it clear that awareness about the data infrastructure projects is limited among external stakeholders and end users. 9 https://www.nap.edu/catalog/26297/building-data-capacity-for-patient-centered-outcomes research-interim-report.
From page 284...
... While there is frequent collaboration among HHS partners on PCOR data infrastructure work, and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation's public website contains a comprehensive list of past and current projects funded from the PCOR Trust Fund, additional dissemination efforts focused on external stakeholders could further increase the usefulness of these investments. CONCLUSION 2-2: There is a need to increase awareness among all stakeholders about new data infrastructure developments funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund.
From page 285...
... Blewett said that large federal data projects using electronic health records (EHRs) and linked data are critical to patient outcomes research, but the time lags in the availability of these data make the results less actionable for state health policy.
From page 286...
... The following are what has worked in the data sharing consortium: • Skilled and innovative researchers are embedded in the health systems. • A distributed data network model is followed (avoids concerns about data privacy and simplifies data use agreements)
From page 287...
... • Data sharing agreements and data use agreements are still required for university-based research access to data files unless all of the analysis is run by the state. • Financing is needed to support sustainability of network/models.
From page 288...
... , a survey that she worked on while she was at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.2 A nationally representative survey of adult Medicaid recipients with state-specific samples, NAM CAHPS is a collaboration among several federal partners as well as 46 states and DC. The data produced include state-specific NAM CAHPS files, which states can get access to on the basis of a data-use agreement.
From page 289...
... In terms of building data capacity, two areas emphasized by LillieBlanton are (1) supporting the development of state Medicaid infrastructure for data collection, analysis, and reporting; and (2)
From page 290...
... There are also efforts underway to improve data quality, targeting 21 indicators, such as reasonableness of eligible counts, beneficiary demographics, and completeness of key claims service data elements.
From page 291...
... Claudia Steiner, Kaiser Permanente Colorado, discussed datasets produced by AHRQ based on inpatient, emergency department, and ambulatory surgery discharge data. Discharge data are available in all states except Alabama.
From page 292...
... Examples include linking to birth or death certificates, state-level surveys, patient-reported outcomes, and social determinants of health data collections. Steiner noted that AHRQ is currently actively exploring links to social determinants of health data as well as physician practice variables for Medical Expenditure Panel survey and HCUP data.
From page 293...
... CONCLUSION 3-1: There are opportunities to learn from what states have accomplished in building data capacity. The data collected, their quality, and ease of access all vary by state.
From page 295...
... Two additional research bases conduct only cancer control and outcomes research, such as research on symptom science, patient-reported outcomes, and cancer care delivery, through the NCORP with more than 1,000 practices throughout the United States. Carlos described the NCORP as a valuable setting for cancer clinical trials, because 80 percent of cancer patients receive their treatment in community oncology practices.
From page 297...
... . The potential and the challenge of building data capacity for PCOR, according to Carlos, are highlighted by the "four Vs" of big data: volume, variety, velocity, and veracity.
From page 298...
... Esserman argued that to realize the vision of shared data, it is necessary to reimagine the process of generating clinical data. As an example, she discussed her work on the OneSource project in collaboration with the UCSF-Stanford Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation.
From page 299...
... Lesley Curtis, Duke University, began by describing two organizations that she has worked with, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Healthcare Systems Collaboratory and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute's Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Network (PCORnet)
From page 300...
... She noted that a significant challenge to using those data in clinical trials is that most clinical trials do not collect a Medicare beneficiary ID or social security number, which makes it difficult to link CMS claims data. She said that an additional challenge to using CMS claims data is that beneficiary IDs or social security numbers are usually stored in areas of EHRs that are separate from clinical data records and are difficult to access even with patient consent.
From page 301...
... CONCLUSION 4-1: Infrastructure investments could enhance the utility of data routinely generated in the course of care for clinical trials.
From page 303...
... UC Health has a centralized electronic health record (EHR) database that uses the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model with data elements that are continuously being harmonized.
From page 304...
... Imbedded Pragmatic Alzheimer's Disease and AD-Related Dementias Clinical Trials Collaboratory (IMPACT Collaboratory) , which builds capacity to conduct pragmatic clinical trials of interventions embedded within health care systems for people living with dementia and their care partners.
From page 305...
... While researchers at Brown University and others who are part of the IMPACT Collaboratory will be the first users of the data, the data will later become available for other NIA investigators. The data from the electronic medical records can be particularly useful for recruiting facilities for trials and clinical research, while the electronic medical records data linked to claims data can further expand the possibilities to areas such as pharmacoepidemiological research, public health surveillance research, and studies of the impact of treatments or policies.
From page 306...
... DISCUSSION A central theme of the discussions that followed the presentations was the risks associated with data sharing. Speakers noted that resistance to transparency is common among all types of entities.
From page 307...
... Successful data sharing agreements can be established when these factors are taken into consideration. CONCLUSION 5-1: Successful partnerships across health care systems require participant trust, clear evidence of mutual benefit, and the abil ity to control risk.
From page 309...
... Each of those clinical trials, she said, set up a significant data infrastructure, but when the trial failed, the infrastructure was dismantled, and frequently the data collected during the trial were lost. Furlong also noted that the data from failed clinical trials were not integrated into any other datasets.
From page 310...
... Furlong concluded by emphasizing the importance of data sharing and improving stakeholder access to data for the benefit of patients. James Lewis, University of Pennsylvania, spoke about his experiences with patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR)
From page 311...
... The platform includes a master data-use agreement and protocol that applies to all participating institutions, and to all identified and de-identified data, which flow bi-directionally between research sites, CARRA's Data Coordinating Center, and clinical centers. Natter explained that CARRA continues to build on its data infrastructure, which has facilitated a variety of pediatric rheumatology PCOR studies.

From page 313...
... APPENDIX D 313 COLLABORATIONS WITH PATIENT GROUPS 61 CONCLUSION 6-1: Patient groups can be helpful partners in all aspects of patient-centered outcomes research, including engaging pa tients in order to improve research participation and the impact of results. CONCLUSION 6-2: Patient-directed disease registries can be a source of in-depth, longitudinal, prospective clinical and patient-reported data that are not available from other data sources.
