There are several resources at UNM for accessing clinical data from UNM Hospital in a secure, HIPAA-compliant manner. Services include the feasibility queries, chart review, and analyst support through the Southwest Center for Advancing Clinical and Translational Innovation (SW CACTI; formally known as the Clinical and Translational Science Center), as well as access to patient-derived clinical data via the TriNetX portal. Additionally, cancer-related clinical data linked to outcomes and social determinants of health are available through the Cancer Research Integrative Information System (CRIIS).
TriNetX is a user-friendly platform that provides HIPAA-compliant access to de-identified clinical data derived from UNM Hospital’s electronic medical record (Cerner PowerChart). Data is updated biweekly. Researchers can use TriNetx to run feasibility queries, explore patient cohorts, and conduct informatics-based studies. The platform is free of charge for UNM investigators. https://hsc.unm.edu/ctsc/services/informatics/databases-analyst-services.html
