Tomorrow's Cures Are Hiding in Today's Patient Records with Vish Srivastava

Send us a textThe untapped potential of electronic health records has long been recognized in clinical research, but extracting meaningful insights from this treasure trove of data has remained an elusive challenge—until now.Vish Srivastava, founder of Century Health, reveals how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing real-world evidence by unlocking critical patient data trapped in EHRs. Traditional patient registries that once took a decade to amass just 1,000 patients can now be created with unprecedented efficiency through AI-powered data extraction. The breakthrough lies in advanced language models that can interpret unstructured clinical notes, transforming them into structured, analyzable data points while maintaining patient privacy.This technological revolution has profound implications across the drug development lifecycle. In multiple sclerosis research, analyzing 10+ years of longitudinal patient data has illuminated disease progression patterns beyond relapses, informing the next generation of treatments. For approved medications like GLP-1s, real-world evidence is uncovering potential applications in conditions ranging from metabolic disorders to neurodegenerative diseases, potentially fast-tracking label expansions that would traditionally require years of additional clinical trials.The vision is transformative: reducing the $2.6 billion, 12-year journey of drug development to a fraction of that time while ensuring treatments reach the right patients faster. While Century Health initially focuses on gastroenterology, neurology, and rheumatology in the US market, the underlying technology promises to revolutionize clinical research globally. As Vish notes, "It feels like we can create dramatically better outcomes for patients if we can just make the data that's already collected from their care accessible and actionable."________Reach out to Ivanna RosendalJoin the conversation on our LinkedIn page

This episode's guest is Nik Hulewsky, the co-founder of multiple 7 figure businesses that he has successfully built and flipped. Nik started on the corporate career path and ultimately got fired from his job. Rather than going back to the corporate world he used an SMB loan to buy his first business, a medical payments company. After a few years he grew the revenue of that business and exited. Since then he has gone on to co-found multiple companies and is currently partnered with Chris Koerner (a previous guest on the pod). This episode we discuss the different business pursuits Nik has chased and talk about his successes and failures. We get into some of the specific business challenges that the medical industry faces and how technology is changing that space. Lastly, we talk about what Nik is planning for the future and how his past ventures have shaped the way he views new opportunities. Hope you enjoy the show! Timestamps:00:00:00 - Precap00:01:17 - Introduction and Background00:01:37 - Nick's Early Career and First Firing00:02:51 - Learning from Failure and Job Loss00:07:58 - Transitioning into Entrepreneurship00:10:40 - First Business Acquisition and Growth00:11:09 - Insights on Control in Business00:12:14 - First Venture and Learning Experience00:14:08 - Expansion and Sale of Businesses00:16:14 - Overview of Healthcare Provider Payment Methods00:16:42 - Understanding Commercial and Private Insurance00:17:11 - The Problem with the Healthcare System00:17:40 - Discrepancies in Medical Billing and Pricing00:18:22 - The Issue with Patchwork Pricing Models00:19:09 - Advice on Handling Medical Bills00:19:57 - Complexity of Medical Billing and Coding00:20:38 - Data Challenges in Energy and Healthcare00:21:58 - The Concept of Arbitrage in Healthcare00:22:22 - Issues with Patient Records and Interoperability00:23:28 - Opportunities in Solving Interoperability00:24:47 - The Role of Machine Learning and AI00:25:16 - Challenges with Data Formats00:27:45 - Future of AI and Machine Learning in Healthcare00:28:04 - The Importance of Company Culture in Startups00:28:43 - Understanding Distribution in Business00:30:30 - The Power of Content and Audience Building00:32:02 - Different Strategies for Different Industries00:35:48 - Maximizing Business Value through Channels00:36:06 - Exploration of New Business Opportunities00:36:46 - Theoretical and Practical Approach to Business00:37:22 - Criteria for Business Interest and Investment00:39:37 - Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Business00:41:13 - Reflections on the Framework00:42:52 - Future Plans and Opportunities00:43:13 - Perfume Vending Business Case Study00:46:24 - Conclusion and Contact Information

Don't forget to check out the video episode on YouTube!  In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Bryan Laskin – a dental tech entrepreneur, an author and a good friend. He's been on before (Ep 76) and just like last time, the conversation flowed. Dentistry is changing behind the scenes. We think of progress as materials updates and faster scans. But what happens when the changes occur behind the scenes yet have such a huge impact on your job? Some highlights from our talk: Digital Transformation and Interoperability: We started by exploring the progression of dentistry from analog to digital and now, Bryan's concept of interconnected dental practices. He emphasized the urgency of interconnected electronic dental records and the barriers hindering quality care and innovation. Patient Records and Compliance: The lack of standard procedures for patient data sharing and record access was a chief concern. We dissected the potential fines for non-compliance with federal regulations, and the absence of insurance coverage for such penalties. Bryan provided insights into efforts being made for the development of standards in dental data accessibility. Clinical and Business Integration: The focus then pivoted to the integration of clinical and business insights in dentistry for collective success. We delved into the necessity of this harmonious relationship and the impact it has on the industry as a whole. Challenges and Solutions: The discussion flowed into the challenges faced in dental practices, including misdiagnoses stemming from disparate referral forms and varied laboratory versions. The need for accurate information for precise diagnostics was heightened. Government Intervention and Future Outlook: We rounded off with thoughts on potential government intervention to reform the dental industry, with an emphasis on integrating medical and dental operations and addressing workforce challenges. Bryan shared his perspective on the future of dental technology and the promising advancements up ahead.

This study provides additional insights in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic and in the light of NHS England's plans to enable full prospective records access for patients by default. Findings highlight that most primary care staff agree with patient records access in principle, and can see its potential benefits, but remain concerned about the impact on patient centred care, safeguarding, and how to navigate this change. This study underlines the need for additional training and support for primary care staff to adapt their practice so they can address the needs of patients and protect patient safety and well-being whilst maintaining the clinical integrity of health records.

Particle Health's CEO Troy Bannister stops by to not only talk about the API platform company's $25M Series B, but to also explain exactly what's going on in that patient data ‘exchange-standardize-and-aggregate' space that, these days, looks poised to pop as the 21st Century Cures Act Information Blocking Rule stands ready to make hospitals share data like never before. Troy calls Particle a “network of networks” and what that means is that their API pulls patient records from organizations and businesses that are already aggregating them (so aggregating the aggregators) to get all the lab data and medical data a clinician would want to in order to have a more complete picture of their patient. For clients like One Medical or Omada Health, who deliver value-based care and take on risk, having such a robust historic data set on patients – along with a more complete picture of their comorbidities – helps improve decision making and outcomes. So, how is Particle Health working now – and what will change – as the Information Blocking Rule gets implemented? Troy's written about this for Forbes, and explains what has him fired up here too. Turns out their model has room to accommodate a big pivot: giving patients access to their own ‘network of networks' record. Find out what sets Particle off in this new B2B2C direction and how they will be using that Series B funding to build out deeper analytical tools to help everyone make better sense of what the data in all those records can show us. * Jessica DaMassa, the emerging ‘It girl' of health tech interviewing, chats it up with the ‘who's who' of the health tech and healthcare innovation set on 'WTF Health - What's the Future, Health?'

A key component of the initiative is data harmonization, which translates the differing ways that contributing hospitals store patient data into a single, common format to facilitate analyses. Participating sites add (or they will add) data on demographics, symptoms, medications, lab test results, and outcomes over a five-year period. This will enable both short- and long-term study of the impact of COVID-19 on health outcomes.Who has access to the N3C enclave data?Data access is open to all approved users, regardless of whether they contribute data. Details for gaining access can be found on the NCATS website (see link below). Researchers can request access only after their home institution has secured a data use agreement with NCATS. For those who are not associated with an institution, they will need to complete their own DUA with NCATS.https://ncats.nih.gov/n3c/about/applying-for-accessWhat kind of tools are available in the N3C enclave to support data analyses? The platform is built to support machine learning and rigorous statistical analyses using Python and R. The idea is to provide the necessary tools to address research questions using contemporary data driven techniques along with classical methods. To tackle such projects with large scale observational data requires collaboration within a team science environment, including expertise in statistics, informatics, medicine, engineering, and so on.

In the last two years, the hype around blockchain settled down, and now projects can focus more on development rather than managing attention. Many projects have gone from an idea to a pilot program or an actual implementation. However, we probably won't see patient medical records on the blockchain soon, says Robert Miller -  Director of Product Management and Strategy at Consensys Health. ConsenSys Health builds Ethereum-based solutions for cybersecurity, compliance, privacy, bioethics and identity, applying the deep technical capabilities of ConsenSys to advance the healthcare industry. The blockchain community knows Robert because of his regular newsletters about blockchain in healthcare. He is diligently following and reflecting on the development of the industry. We discussed why are patient health records on blockchain currently still a dream and which projects are slowly moving beyond the project phase. An interesting research initiative is MELLODY - (acronym for Machine learning ledger orchestration for drug discovery). MELLODY is a collaboration among 10 major pharma companies that are using a blockchain-based infrastructure and federated learning to speed up drug development. Robert also shared his view on MELLODY - and I also added the link to his analysis in the show notes. We also talked about the potential use of blockchain for vaccination certification and more.

The ASCO in Action Podcast is ASCO's podcast series that explores policy and practice issues that impact oncologists, the entire cancer care delivery team, and the individuals we care for-- people with cancer. My name is Clifford Hudis, and I am the CEO of ASCO, as well as the host of the ASCO in Action Podcast series. For today's podcast, I am delighted to have as my guest Dr. Robert Miller. Dr. Miller is the medical director of ASCO's CancerLinQ initiative. And as many of our listeners know, CancerLinQ is a big data technology initiative that collects and analyzes real world cancer care data from multiple health care IT systems seeking to deliver insights to physicians, improve quality of patient care, and support new research. What our listeners may be less familiar with is that, earlier this year, ASCO and CancerLinQ announced a very exciting collaboration that has the potential of bringing the oncology community one step closer to our goal of achieving interoperability amongst electronic health record systems. The project is called mCODE. That's a lowercase m and then capital C-O-D-E. It stands for Minimal Common Oncology Data Elements, or mCODE.   Dr. Miller is going to tell us a whole lot more about this important initiative. And I welcome you. Thanks for joining us, Dr. Miller. Thanks for having me. So, we've all heard about the inability of electronic health record systems to share information with each other. And I always, at the beginning of this, used to talk about my favorite proverbial story. A patient is discharged from a big-city emergency room after a month in the hospital. That hospital uses a single electronic record system, all the details are there. The person is on their way home and developed chest pain, ends up in a neighboring emergency room a mile away. And in most cases, how much of their record from the hospital where they spent a month, to the hospital where they're finding themselves in the emergency room, is transmittable at that moment? Yeah, I think that's an important question. And that's an example that I think we all have had experience with ourselves personally in health care, or their families. And it's easy to say, well, that's because the systems don't talk to each other. To answer your question specifically, it's probably a small percentage, a minority. There are certain laboratory values and other things that may make it across, but a lot of the important information is missing. And it's just not easy to get. Well, if they're in different health care systems, and even sometimes if they have the same health record system installed, sometimes there's essentially no real transmission possible. And I mention that only because I think outside of medicine, people who are less familiar with this expect this to work like banking or airline reservations. They expect transmittal of the entire package of relevant information at that moment's notice. And unfortunately, sadly, in modern medicine, and indeed in oncology, we don't yet have this. And I'll just close this little editorial soliloquy by pointing out that Congress thought they were supporting the development of this when they passed HARP legislation more than a decade ago. But in fact, the reality isn't that. And that is the setup for what we're really going to talk about now, isn't it? Which is how mCODE can help fix this problem. Exactly. So, tell us a little more now that we've set up the problem. How is mCODE able to begin to address this issue? So, I think it's important to realize that while all medical care is complex, there's a certain level of complexity in oncology given the explosive growth in knowledge and a lot of the new therapies even in the last five to 10 years. But I think what is really underlying the source of the problem is the fact that so many of the important parts of the cancer patient journey are just not entered into electronic records in a way that they can be easily retrieved. So what I mean by that is things like measuring the cancer stage, or the basic biomarkers, or in the pathology report, or in the blood, and certainly more abstract concepts like, is the cancer growing or not, is the patient getting worse, or are they getting better, and so forth. The outcomes, the adverse events, are put in the electronic record in a variety of incompatible ways. And that's not really through, necessarily, anyone's fault or the way things were designed. It's because the electronic record today looks very much like the paper record of yore. And largely, this type of information is captured in what we call an unstructured note, or a document, so that the clinician either dictates, or types, or just puts in text that tells a story. And that's important to tell the story, but it's not easy for a computer to retrieve that information. And the real point is, at scale, you can't take 1,000 patients and consolidate some of the basics into a single file that you could then interpret, right? That's right. The problem is that you can try. You can take human beings--we call this abstraction, or curation--and you can pull out the data elements from the notes and from the stories, but that doesn't scale. It's incredibly expensive, and it's also very inaccurate. Obviously, there's a very big problem here. Tell us a little bit about how this actually came to be. The mCODE project started last year in 2018, and there was the alignment of a number of individual work streams. So, let me just say that, as background, ASCO had already been active in the area of data standards going back a number of years. They worked with the standards organization called HL7. If you look at the QOPI program, that's a quality registry that has to capture data, at least in certain fields. And one of the volunteer work groups at ASCO, the Informatics Task Force, was looking at the idea of a minimal data element. And of course, CancerLinQ--which you mentioned earlier--is a big data initiative that has to bring in cancer data in a certain way. I think this really didn't align until the middle of 2018, and that was--I will give credit to the leadership of Dr. Monica Bertagnolli, who was ASCO President at the time. She also continues to hold the position of Chair of the Alliance for Clinical Trials. And her theme at the ASCO annual meeting, as we all remember, was caring for every patient, learning from every patient. So that really, in a way, is a data problem. It basically says that if you really want to learn from every patient, from their information, from the data that's in the electronic record, you have to be able to retrieve it. ASCO, under Dr. Bertagnolli's leadership, together with the organization MITRE-- MITRE is a not-for-profit. It's what's called an FFRDC, or a Federally Funded Research and Development Center. They were already working on something they called the Standard Health Record, or SHR, and they were trying to use modern data standards to improve the quality and the capture of electronic data. They weren't necessarily focusing on cancer, but there was this alignment in 2018. This was all built on a standard called FHIR, which is an acronym for F-H-I-R, which stands for Fast Health Interoperability Resources, or FHIR. ASCO convened a group of experts in the summer of 2018 to try to create a minimal data standard to provide structured oncology data for electronic health records. So, this was ASCO volunteers and all the clinical oncology specialties, it was other scientists. It involved experts in standards, and quality, and policy, and so forth. The group met over a series of face-to-face meetings, and phone calls, and WebExes. We brought in experts from industry, as well, from electronic health records for their advice. And the group created a data standard, or a data specification, saying these were the important data elements. They were open to public comments in January of 2019, and ultimately were approved by the mCODE executive committee, and announced publicly on June 1, 2019. So, when you describe mCODE right now, it's clearly centering on some core set of data, not all data elements. Can you talk a little bit about which elements are actually being captured with mCODE? And maybe for listeners, describe in a very practical way how a clinician experiences mCODE. How does it get into their workflow, for example? Sure. So, the mCODE data specification is designed around six different domains that describe the cancer patient journey. The first is the patient, which is the demographic and other clinical characteristics--the disease, which are our specific details around the cancer. The third is genomics, because we knew that molecular characteristics of the cancer are so important for determining certain types of therapy. And largely, this is an area of real need. The fourth was the labs and the vital signs, the fifth was the treatment. And that could be surgery, radiation, and other drug treatments--chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and so forth. And finally, the outcomes. Again, this would be the cancer status of the patient--is the cancer better, worse, in remission or not--and ultimately, what the patient's survival is. The way the user experiences mCODE, if you will, is it's really within their normal workflow of capturing the patient record in the EHR. So, we're not totally there yet, but the anticipation is that the electronic systems of today, the EHRs that are being used, will embed these data elements within their core systems that are exposed to oncologists. And basically, the oncologists will--they may have to enter some information manually at the time of the visit, but our hope is, really, that that's minimal, because I think that there are plenty of things that are already in other electronic systems like pathology and laboratory that simply don't need to be repeated by a human being. How specifically will mCODE get that patient's age, or that patient's stage, or the biomarkers, or the disease status, into the more structured format that you describe? So, I think there's going to be a few ways that we're going to see this. And I'll be honest and say some of this is still being worked out. Some of these details, we're working with the HR vendors to understand exactly where the needs are. I will say that, of the various companies that we've talked to, most of them already have somewhere in their systems all of the data that we need--those six data elements and those domains that I described. That already exists, it's just not organized very well. So, I think it's going to be a combination of these elements that are going to be carried forth from somewhere else in the system that may be entered, like an age, that you don't need to enter a birth date more than once. In fact, a human being probably doesn't need to enter a birth date. That's already captured some way. And then that populates the clinician note, but then the clinician is probably going to have to enter certain key things. For example, the current disease status--is the patient alive with disease, do they have no evidence of disease, and so forth. There's going to be some, if you will, burden of entry on the doctor, but that's the part we're trying to minimize so that it, at the end of the day, doesn't add to the workload at the time of the visit. I remember Dr. Bertagnolli demonstrating at some point what looked to me, as an outsider, like macros. They were essentially dropdowns, where if you put a certain phrase in, you would get the right terminology inserted, maybe with hashtags so that then it could be picked out and structured. Is that a key part of this or is that unrelated? No, that actually-- that's correct. That is part of what we anticipate some of the implementations will be for mCODE, depending on the EHR type. One of the things that our colleagues at MITRE-- one of things they're testing is that type of capability. And it is actually a hashtag symbol that you just have to, if you will, know the code. And you enter that into your note, and then the computer finds that. And at the back end, there is going to be a dictionary, or what we might call a lookup table, that pulls that into the mCODE data structure. The other thing that I want to emphasize is that while it's certainly not revolutionary to think that you need to capture a patient age or a basic biomarker status of their cancer, one thing that mCODE is bringing to the table is the fact that we are strictly defining and requiring specific vocabularies and terminologies. So the computer can only understand things if it's coded in a certain way. So, within mCODE, and really within the entire electronic record, if we constrain the use of certain lists of variables in defined terminologies, that's going to make the computers able to talk to each other. And that really goes back to your initial scenario of the one-month hospitalization and only being able to find a certain amount. If you used a terminology that one computer could understand from another, then you're not going to have that problem. I got it. So we've come, in a way, full circle from talking about the big problem qualitatively--talking about what we need, which is structured data--and then describing a specific pathway to make it easy for clinicians to record data in a way that a computer can then read, in a sense, and restructure. Yes. And then that delivers both interoperability on the one hand, but that has critical downstream consequences for our community. It means, ultimately, that quality measures might be more easily fired, and tested, and reported. And it might, of course, mean that that research of various types is much more easy to assemble. Is that right? That's exactly right, and I think that that was one of the main motivations of trying to do this in the first place, was to be able to reuse the data in other ways. So, if you think about it, the electronic record is primarily a transactional tool. It's what treating clinicians used to document their care. Of course, it's used for billing purposes, and for compliance documentation, and so forth, but it could be used for so much more, right. It could be used to aggregate. The data could be aggregated, and then those data could be used to run queries on large populations. You can't do this unless you know you're looking at--you're comparing apples to apples, basically. And that's why this basic data standard--again, as simplistic as the opening gambit is--I think, will make a big difference for secondary research, for quality improvement, public health reporting, all those things. Yes. Yeah, I have to say when electronic record systems first rolled out in my career, one of the promises was it would automate the billing, because after all, over or under coding are issues that concern clinicians. And one would think that an accurate medical record system would essentially be able to automate the generation of a bill that was accurate because it reflected what was in the chart. So that seems, to me, to be at least eventually one of the deliverables in all of this. And I don't think it's that hard to do. It really isn't rocket science, that part of it. But I think we're focusing now on the clinical and quality improvement aspects. I think that's going to come with it, and that'll be a big advance. So, lots of people have lots of great ideas for things we should do in medicine, but I think the critical step for all of us is converting these ideas and even these theoretical advances into practical ones. And to do that, we have to begin to pilot and to test them. I understand--I know Monica Bertagnolli has spoken a good bit about this--that there are clinical trials within, I think, the Alliance and beyond, and practices that are piloting mCODE. Can you tell us a little bit about the status of those pilots, where we are? Yes. There are two main programs that are piloting mCODE right now. The first one that Dr. Bertagnolli is, in part, running and participating in is something called the ICAREdata study. This is through the Alliance for Clinical Trials, and the first part of this is actually already complete. This was some work done at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a few other centers. I believe it was St. Joseph's in Michigan, ThedaCare in Wisconsin, a few others. And they looked at, specifically, two breast cancer trials. They basically looked to see if you could capture critical data elements from the EHR that you needed as part of that trial. That was basically the proof of principle. The more interesting part with ICAREdata is opening soon. Again, it's some of those same institutions, and they're looking to see if mCODE could look for two very specific questions. The first is, what is the patient's current cancer disease status? Now again, that sounds very obvious, but it's not an element that is typically captured in discrete fashion in the EHR. It's sort of put into clinical notes with a lot of flowery prose and so forth. So, the question is, if you define it in mCODE using a specific terminology, can you pull it out of the EHR and make it work in a clinical trial setting? The second is another very important thing. Again, I'm sure you'll recognize that it doesn't always get written down right--is what is the reason for a change in the cancer treatment? The idea of testing in the ICAREdata study is to look to see if you can answer that question using mCODE. That's the first program. The second is something that ASCO has been quite involved with--Intermountain Healthcare. This is an institution that participates in the CancerLinQ initiative. They have been great collaborators, and they're actually piloting mCODE, looking at building something called a SMART on FHIR application. So that is something that our colleagues at MITRE have built. And basically, all that really is a small piece of software that gets plugged into the electronic health record at Intermountain. And really, this could be done anywhere once the prototype's fully done. And it basically queries the Intermountain electronic health record for a specific set of patient characteristics. And then we've actually built an application programming interface with CancerLinQ, so you can go back to the CancerLinQ database and pull out a cohort of de-identified patients to find something that's called Patient Like This, or Cohort Builder. But this is the Compass app, and this is undergoing beta testing at Intermountain right now. The beta part is actually done, and we're looking for the next steps. So that's a start. And that means that--I wouldn't say if mCODE's quite in the wild yet, but maybe it's near release, right? Yes. And so, what do you think happens next? Can anybody decide they want to participate in mCODE, support its development, and contribute to it? Is it ultimately envisioned as a free add-on for any electronic record system, or would you have to pay to use it? What's going to happen here? So right now, the mCODE data specification is freely available on the mCODE website--which I'll say this a few times, but it's www.mcodeinitiative--one word--.org. This can be downloaded. There is no cost for mCODE. All of the terminologies and all the components of mCODE are non-proprietary. It's released in what's called a Creative Commons Zero license, and it really is open to all. ASCO, MITRE, and others are looking to build a coalition of cancer centers, of interested electronic health record vendor companies, and other technology companies, frankly, to support this. We're kind of in the coalition building phase right now, in the sense that we recognize we also have to bring the oncology clinical community, and ultimately the research community, around to say that this is important, to say that we can't continue our current use of the electronic records and documentation tools. We have to standardize it more. There will be a part for treating clinicians to play. There will be a bigger part, I believe, for vendors to play. And speaking of vendors, I have to say there are a lot of vendors in the US. In fact, some people think that's part of the problem that we're facing. They have different platforms. They capture, I guess, largely overlapping data, but not always identically coded. And you and I will remember--I can't remember precisely the number--but two plus years ago, we found that there were more than 60 different ways that the term white blood cell was recorded, right? Right, right. Or smoking status, white blood cell--many ways to say it. It seems very obvious, I think, to the outside world, that recording data in a single standard way would lower the cost of interoperability and potentially improve quality of care. So that leads to the question, what do you think is the prospect of the vendors adopting these standards, and what can we do in ASCO to encourage that adoption? So, the electronic health record vendor community has been very supportive of this initiative. They have been part of some of our early conversations. As I mentioned, they were part of some of our early discussions when we built the specification. Most of them provided very robust comments. The MITRE organization had a cancer data summit which was held in the DC area last month. So bottom line is they are interested in this. They have told us in our one-on-one conversations they want to contribute, they want to see this specification used. They seem willing to set aside competitive interests to do this because they recognize that this is the right thing to do. Fingers crossed; I think we may be at a moment in time where there will be some alignment around this standard. But again, I'm actually pretty optimistic that the EHR vendors are going to come along with this. Well, I think that's really great. It's nice to hear. To the outsider, it reminds me a little bit of what I understand to be the way that other standards in IT have evolved, like USB sticks. You can stick a USB thumb drive into any computer. It doesn't matter in the operating system at this point, or hardware. It will be read. And the reason, of course, is that the manufacturers came together and agreed upon universal standards. Is this analogous, do you think? I think to some extent. I guess one of the things that was most eye-opening for me when I first started in informatics about 10, 12 years ago, was that a lot of these standards are voluntary. It's not like the government says, for things like health IT, that you have to use certain things. Now let me just clarify, that is perhaps changing with some recent regulations from CMS. But I think when it comes to electronic health records, these standards are voluntary. That's why voluntary organizations like HL7 exist. So yes, they're voluntary, but that also gives you flexibility for a group of vendors under, hopefully, the pressure in the leadership of ASCO and the rest of the mCODE group to agree to adopt these standards. So, I have a couple questions that I think will build very nicely on the last point that you made. First is about the data set. How do you envision it evolving over time? Obviously, we're not suggesting that we'll just launch this and that's it--it's one-and-done. Quite the opposite, right? So, is there a system to expand it, a formal way to decide where to put our priorities going forward? Yes, so that is built into the mCODE governance structure. First of all, the priorities can come from anywhere. There is an advisory council that we are forming of interested parties across the ecosystem. There is a technical group that's part of the mCODE governance that's called the TRG--or Technical Review Group--that will receive these proposed use cases from the community. And we fully expect that we will be building out extensions or supplements to the primary mCODE specification as it exists today. Right now, mCODE is the six domains that I mentioned earlier. It's a total of 73 data elements, but that's going to grow. Now whether we add data elements to the core or whether there are always supplements remains to be seen, but we recognize that the minimal core set is not going to support the complete nuance and complexities of multidisciplinary cancer care. S,o it has to grow, but the governance has built that in. And we are actively looking for input from the community for that. So, thinking about where we are today, we're about two years really into this project. And admitting that others and ASCO have tried to establish informatics standards in the past, what do you think at this juncture not just makes mCODE different, but makes it more likely than prior efforts at standardization to succeed? So, I think there's several things. Let me just go through those quickly. I think in the past, exchange standards were purposefully left very flexible so that each vendor could--they would have to follow a very high-level broad standard, but they could customize any way that they wanted. And that led to some of the Tower of Babel that we have today, OK. So, mCODE really is--we're specifically trying to standardize the health data itself. It's not just about how the two systems talk to each other--to the earlier example--it's that these are the ways to describe the patient journey, the genomics, the labs, and so forth. So that's different. I think the other thing that's different, I mentioned earlier, is the use of the standard called FHIR, that this is probably the most important data standard in the world today in health care. It's very flexible. It's built on the modern structure of the world wide web, and it can be complemented with what are called APIs--Application Programming Interfaces. So, in a way, exchanging data may be as simple as the way it works when you go to a website now, and that's different than the way it was done maybe 10 years ago. The two other things quickly: one is that--we've already kind of alluded to this--there's a lot of stakeholders involved. We have the vendor community involved early. This isn't just an ASCO initiative, it's not just a project of a professional medical society. We have MITRE as an FFRDC and others on board. And I think that's different. And finally--and this may be the most important, I'll just say--is that we're actually bringing this mCODE standard through the HL7 formal recognition process--something called balloting. So the mCODE standard has now been tentatively approved by HL7 as what's called an STU--Standard for Trial Use--which means that it just gives it a little more gravity in terms of the EHR vendors, that it's not something that's not going to be supported going forward. We've built this out, and then others can use it. So, I think that's an enormous difference from what we did previously. I have to say, it's been really interesting to me to watch this bubble up from the volunteer leadership of ASCO, because Dr. Bertagnolli had a clear vision for this. She brought it to ASCO, she leveraged in a very productive way, I think, the inherent skills and talents of the group that you're leading, and the rest of CancerLinQ for that matter. And I think it's a fascinating--and, I would say, beyond clearly needed--it's desperately needed. And I think it's critically important for all of us that this succeed. I'm very, very proud that ASCO has been able to play such a critical role in developing this, in supporting Dr. Bertagnolli's vision, which I think was absolutely critical to this being launched. I want to thank you for all--not just for this great interview and clarifying all this for our listeners, but also for the long hours you've put into this project already, leading this from internally. And I think it's going to be exciting to see where it goes. I think you said this before, there's a special website. But if listeners want to learn more, what is that address again? It's www.mcodeinitiative.org. You can download the data specification there. There's some background material and links to other things. And just at the risk of opening up another thread in this conversation, is there anything that we should have mentioned that I've neglected to ask about here? I think the only thing I'd say is that this isn't just a dry topic of data standards, and computers, and EHRs, etc. This is really about what our patients expect from us. They--when we go in to see the physician, certainly when someone is in the stress of an oncology visit--they expect their doctor to have all the information. They expect their physician to be able to query what was in the EHR from across the street, or even what the last 10 cases like them would be. And it's not something that is over and above. This is fundamental to what medicine is. And the other thing we've seen, certainly, is that our patients are--and many of them are altruistically motivated to share their own data. And this gives them another way to do this. If we can define their cancer journey in a standard way so that we can group like with like, then there are new insights that can be gained that we just can't do right now. And I think the mCODE initiative will help enable this. And Bob, I really want to thank you, again, both for all the work on this, and for joining me for today for this ASCO in Action Podcast. We look forward to continuing to hear more and more about the progress of mCODE as it’s refined and deployed more broadly.

This episode features Dr Bella Vivat (Marie Curie Palliative Care Research Department, UCL, London, UK) and Professor Paddy Stone (Marie Curie Palliative Care Research Department, UCL, London, UK).   Sedative medication may be used to manage intractable symptoms at the end of patients’ lives. No UK guidelines specifically address the detail of how sedatives should be used, but international guidelines endorse monitoring the depth of sedation, and the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) framework recommends that monitoring should relate to the aim of using sedatives. Despite internationally agreed guidelines and recommendations, use varies widely between countries and settings, including the depth of sedation sought, and the dosages administered.  This study shows that usual practice when using sedative medication in two palliative care settings in London, UK, is predominantly to use low dosages of midazolam to achieve patient comfort, rather than to sedate patients. Practice in these London settings broadly aligns with EAPC recommendations for proportionate use of sedatives at the end of life. Nevertheless, although the EAPC framework also recommends systematic objective monitoring to monitor the effects of sedatives, clinicians in these settings use only clinical observation, never structured objective tools, even when using high doses of sedatives. The term ‘palliative sedation’ does not usefully describe all uses of sedative medication in palliative care, since this implies sedation is the aim, which is not always the case. Proportionate sedation might be a preferable term for the type of practice we found in our study. Palliative care guidelines and definitions should clearly distinguish between deep sedation and other uses of sedatives in palliative care. When higher doses of sedative medication are used and/or when the specific intention is to sedate a patient, clinicians may need to employ more structured monitoring of sedative effects.   Full paper available from: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0269216319826007   If you would like to record a podcast about your published (or accepted) Palliative Medicine paper, please contact Dr Amara Nwosu: anwosu@liverpool.ac.uk

Utility of electronic patient records in primary care for stroke secondary prevention trials

Background: This study aimed to inform the design of a pragmatic trial of stroke prevention in primary care by evaluating data recorded in electronic patient records (EPRs) as potential outcome measures. The study also evaluated achievement of recommended standards of care; variation between family practices; and changes in risk factor values from before to after stroke. Methods: Data from the UK General Practice Research Database (GPRD) were analysed for 22,730 participants with an index first stroke between 2003 and 2006 from 414 family practices. For each subject, the EPR was evaluated for the 12 months before and after stroke. Measures relevant to stroke secondary prevention were analysed including blood pressure (BP), cholesterol, smoking, alcohol use, body mass index (BMI), atrial fibrillation, utilisation of antihypertensive, antiplatelet and cholesterol lowering drugs. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were estimated by family practice. Random effects models were fitted to evaluate changes in risk factor values over time. Results: In the 12 months following stroke, BP was recorded for 90%, cholesterol for 70% and body mass index (BMI) for 47%. ICCs by family practice ranged from 0.02 for BP and BMI to 0.05 for LDL and HDL cholesterol. For subjects with records available both before and after stroke, the mean reductions from before to after stroke were: mean systolic BP, 6.02 mm Hg; diastolic BP, 2.78 mm Hg; total cholesterol, 0.60 mmol/l; BMI, 0.34 Kg/m(2). There was an absolute reduction in smokers of 5% and heavy drinkers of 4%. The proportion of stroke patients within the recommended guidelines varied from less than a third (29%) for systolic BP, just over half for BMI (54%), and over 90% (92%) on alcohol consumption. Conclusions: Electronic patient records have potential for evaluation of outcomes in pragmatic trials of stroke secondary prevention. Stroke prevention interventions in primary care remain suboptimal but important reductions in vascular risk factor values were observed following stroke. Better recording of lifestyle factors in the GPRD has the potential to expand the scope of the GPRD for health care research and practice.
