    Reusing Electronic Dental Record Data for research: A Data Mapping Stu

    Objectives:

    To investigate which and how many NDPBRN research-data items can be found in the EDR system

    To assess the feasibility of using data in EDR system for clinical research study

    Study Design and Results:Mapping between Two Data Resources:

    (1) DIM a comprehensive content taxonomy for EDR system in general d

    (2) Cancer Data Standard Registry and Repository (caDSR) is used for al

    research study data annotations

    Conclusions:

    A large percentage

    the data that dental

    gather on a day-to-d

    can potentially be u

    research to improve

    care, and to generat

    knowledge

    It will require future

    about data quality,

    accessibility, and th

    suitability of EDR d

    research

    Motivations:

    National Dental Practice-Based

    Research Network (NDPBRN) is a

    new research initiative by NIDCR

    Research data collection is an

    important aspect of NDPBRN research

    process

    Currently, most NDPBRN studies use

    Case Report Form (CRF) to collect,

    store, and enter research data manually

    This manual process is not only time

    consuming and costly but also delay of

    data transmission and error prone Anecdotal evidence shows many

    NDPBRN research data items exist in

    an Electronic Dental Record (EDR)

    system used by NDPBRN dental

    practitioners during routine clinical

    care

    In addition, published study shows

    over 79% of dental practitioners in the

    US use a EDR system to manage

    clinical information Reuse these EDR data can potentially

    improve the efficiency of clinical

    research and save money, resources
