Development and testing of data infrastructure in the American College of Emergency Physicians' Clinical Emergency Data Registry for opioid-related research.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Prior research has identified gaps in the capacity of electronic health records (EHRs) to capture the intricacies of opioid-related conditions. We sought to enhance the opioid data infrastructure within the American College of Emergency Physicians' Clinical Emergency Data Registry (CEDR), the largest national emergency medicine registry, through data mapping, validity testing, and feasibility assessment.

Methods

We compared the CEDR data dictionary to opioid common data elements identified through prior environmental scans of publicly available data systems and dictionaries used in national informatics and quality measurement of policy initiatives. Validity and feasibility assessments of CEDR opioid-related data were conducted through the following steps: (1) elect
