An Introduction to the RPDR Query Tool

September 21, 2017 11:00 am to 12:00 pm
Simches 3.120, Floor 3, Simches Research Center

This lecture will provide an overview of the Research Patient Data Registry (RPDR) Query Tool. There is new functionality that includes match controls, patient analysis and mixed timing model. Match Controls allows investigators to assemble a list of patients that meet specific matched criteria in order to use them as a control set for their study. The Analyze Patients tab allows the user to further analyze and compare RPDR queries, patients and concepts. The new mixed timing model allows a user to select different timing options within the same query. 

The RPDR is a centralized clinical data registry that gathers data from various hospital systems (MGH, BWH, NSMC, NWH, FH and SRH) and stores it in one place. The RPDR brings clinical information to researchers through the online Query Tool, which is used to query RPDR data for aggregate patient totals. With proper IRB approval, researchers can request more detailed medical record data on the user-defined group. For more information about the RPDR go to http://rpdr.com

This course is geared towards investigators, research nurses, study coordinators and all other study staff.
