Design and Architecture

The existing i2b2 breakdown architecture is has been modified to display breakdowns for the request/Export Options support new breakdown types for data request and export. These display in the run query dialog corresponding to the entries in the QT_RESULT_TYPE table. When a manager user exports user request option, an export file is generated based on the entries in QT_BREAKDOWN_PATH table. Email notification sent to the manager is also based on the entries in the QT_BREAKDOWN_PATH table. The generated file is formatted as per the entries in HIVE_CELL_PARAMS. 

Configuring Database Parameters

Request/Export

...

query types: QT_QUERY_RESULT_TYPE

The data request and data export query types are configured as breakdowns in the QT_QUERY_RESULT_TYPE table. VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_ID should be set to LR for Data request and LX for Data export

USER_ROLE_CD should be set to DATA_LDS for Data Request and USER_ROLE_CD should be MANAGER for Data Export display.

definition details: QT_BREAKDOWN_PATH

QT_BREAKDOWN_PATH Name column hosts 2 type of parameters for each request type: The value column has XML file with email and file specifications defines e-mail content (for request and export) and SQL code (for export) in the following XML format:

Info

Currently, The data Manager manager receives both the Requester Email and the Request Emails. Data Manager will then forward the Requester email to the data user that initiated the request.

Email content is and export SQL are configurable in the XML entries for the request type/export definitions.

Important notes about your data:
- Total number of patients returned in your data request: {{{PATIENT_COUNT}}}
- i2b2 reviewer:

Only persons specifically authorized and selected (as listed at the top of this letter) can download these files. If additional user access is needed, please ensure the person is listed on your project IRB protocol and contact the i2b2 team.

Specifically:
- Remove all PHI from computer, laptop, or mobile device after analysis is completed.
- Do NOT share PHI or PII with anyone who is not listed on the IRB protocol.

Your guideline for the storage of Protected Health Information can be found at: https://www.site.com/guidelines_for_protecting_and_storing_phi.pdf

*To download these files*
- You must be logged onto your site

These results are the data that was requested under the authority of the Institutional Review Board.  The query resulting in this identified patient data is included at the end of this letter.  A copy of this letter is kept on file and is available to the IRB in the event of an audit.

Thank you,

The i2b2 Team
