The end product will be tested by conducting a comparative effectiveness research study using early-term elective delivery as a case study. The database will serve as a sustainable tool for research, quality improvement, and enhancement of overall health, and as a model for other states with similar objectives. To date, the Florida project has: <ul> <li>Expanded existing partnerships and forged new local, state, and national partnerships to foster collaboration around innovative research ideas and to improve infrastructure <li>Improved data quality with a standardized protocol to process various types of health records, identified errors/ inconsistencies in datasets and developed remedies, and identified previously undocumented data decisions <li>Implemented unique strategies for linking maternal and child health records from disparate data sources, created a hierarchical linking algorithm, implemented innovative procedures to automate post-linkage processing rules, and improved the ability to link multiple births as well as health records with missing Social Security numbers and names. </ul> The Florida team has published timely manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals, including &quot;The Missing Link in Preconceptional Care: The Role of Comparative Effectiveness Research&quot; and &quot;Cutting Edge Technology for Public Health Workforce Training in Comparative Effectiveness Research,&quot; and has participated in numerous panels and presentations based on the work and products of the grant.

The researchers will demonstrate the viability of the enhanced database by performing a comparative effectiveness research study to examine the outcomes of care for patients treated by hospitalists compared with patients treated by nonhospitalists. The end result will be an enduring infrastructure that will improve research and quality. The Hawaii grant has begun to achieve many of its goals; it has: <ul> <li>Forged relationships with and secured participation of Hawaii's hospitals and laboratories <li>Installed a Health Level Seven interface engine and designed protocols to accept data from disparate hospitalsystems; the team is now receiving production data feeds from most of the hospitals in the state <li>Successfully linked laboratory data to hospital discharge data. </ul> The Hawaii team continues to assess and improve data quality, and is validating its Physician Master Database and working to improve linkages between mothers and infants in anticipation of the comparative effectiveness research phase of the project.

To assess the value of the resulting clinically enhanced database, the research team will compare comparative riskadjusted outcomes and analyses of the appropriateness of alternative revascularization procedures using the clinically enhanced administrative database with analyses performed using specialized CABG and PCI registries. Another goal of the project is to determine whether laboratory test results will enhance the ability of the cardiac registry data to riskadjust patient outcomes. The project has reached a number of milestones: <ul> <li>Data Use Agreements have been approved for all major data sources used in the study. <li>The New York State Health Commissioner has designated the project a research study governed by NYS Public Law 206 (1) (j), an important distinction that protects hospital participants' confidentiality. <li>Successful record matching has been accomplished on 3 years of SPARCS, cardiac, PCI, and vital records data. <li>Twenty (20) of 56 eligible New York hospitals have been recruited to participate in the study and have supplied required laboratory data. Laboratory data have been reviewed for completeness and validity. <li>Data from 4 hospitals have been judged satisfactory for analysis; clarifications and/or additional data have been requested from the other 16 hospitals. Test matches of laboratory data to SPARCS data are being conducted after laboratory data pass quality reviews. <li>The merged datasets are expected to be available for analysis by October 1, 2012. </ul> If addition of the laboratory data to the cardiac registry improves the ability to risk-adjust patient outcomes, efforts will be explored to include selected laboratory data in the NYS cardiac care registries.
