A Message From Leadership
|
|
Greetings,
I hope you all are enjoying the summer!
The
UMMS Data Office
's data offerings continue to diversify and broaden as a direct result of feedback received by you and your research colleagues over the years. We heard that you needed cancer staging and treatment data, death date and cause of death data, pharmacy-dispensed data, and patient survey data, among other needs. These data types enrich the existing clinical and demographic data we already expose for research, and we look forward to helping you access these new data feeds, based on regulatory and compliance approvals.
Additionally, we are always looking to make the data pull process easy for our researchers, so
contact us for a 1:1 data consultation, visit us at
Researchpalooza on Thursday, August 15, or come to one of our
upcoming Lunch & Learns-- our
next lunch is scheduled on Wednesday, September 25.
Scroll down for more information about these special events, available data for research, data & security, and our self-serve tool, EMERSE.
More questions about our services?
Contact us
with your ideas and questions. Here's to a great fall!
Sincerely,
Erin Kaleba, M.P.H.
Director, Data Office

Available Data for Research
|
|
Get Access to Immunization Data
|
|
While patients do not get all their vaccines administered at Michigan Medicine, the health system gets data from MCIR (Michigan Care Improvement Registry), a statewide immunization registry. The MCIR data is integrated into MiChart to supplement internal immunization data and complete the patient's immunization records and can be extracted with a
Data Office custom data pull
.

immunization data
or custom data pulls? Email Arina Bierdz at

Safeguards for Accessing HIPAA-Regulated Data
|
|
U-M provides services that can meet the security, privacy, and compliance needs of our customers. However, individual departments are responsible for their environment once the service has been provisioned, including their applications, data content, virtual machines, access credentials, auditing of accesses to systems, and compliance with regulatory requirements applicable to their particular field or industry.
Appropriate safeguards should be used when accessing HIPAA-regulated data:
Permit/restrict access to protected health information regulated by HIPAA
.
Examples:
- Security awareness training program for all staff
- Procedures to regularly review records of information system activity (e.g. audit logs)
Limit access systems in which PHI is stored, as well as any physical media that contains or is used to access PHI
.
Examples:
- Retaining facility maintenance records
- Establishing policies for disposal of electronic PHI and the media on which it is stored
Limit access to PHI to appropriate individuals
.
Examples:
- Automatic password lockout
- Assigning uniqname or number to track user identity
- Capturing and reviewing log information related to authentication

The self-serve tool
EMERSE
has a new feature called "Trends," which provides a way to look at overall counts over time and get a sense of which way the counts are heading. For example, the screenshot to the right shows the number of patients who have notes mentioning "genetic testing" from 2009 to present (2019 is lower simply because the year is not over yet). Trends is available from the results screen from an "All Patient Search," using the "Find Patients" button.
Access to EMERSE for research purposes may be obtained through the Data Office. For access to EMERSE for non-research purposes or if you have any questions, contact Dr. Dave Hanauer at (734) 615-0599 or via e-mail at
[email protected].
