I2b2-etl: Python application for importing electronic health data into the informatics for integrating biology and the bedside platform.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

The i2b2 platform is used at major academic health institutions and research consortia for querying for electronic health data. However, a major obstacle for wider utilization of the platform is the complexity of data loading that entails a steep curve of learning the platform's complex data schemas. To address this problem, we have developed the i2b2-etl package that simplifies the data loading process, which will facilitate wider deployment and utilization of the platform.

Results

We have implemented i2b2-etl as a Python application that imports ontology and patient data using simplified input file schemas and provides inbuilt record number de-identification and data validation. We describe a real-world deployment of i2b2-etl for a population-management initiati
