Data Access
Research Informatics Services facilitates access to data stored in EMRs and IW
Research Informatics Services facilitates access to data stored in the OSU Wexner Medical Center's Electronic Medical Record and Information Warehouse (IW), including clinical encounters, demographics, finance, procedures, medications, laboratory results, clinical reports, order entry, and radiology images.
Researchers can use the IW honest broker protocol to access de-identified clinical data for non-FDA research without having to invest the significant time and effort necessary to craft a formalized protocol for IRB approval. Researchers with IRB approval can access all identified data in the IW.
