Initiative

The University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) has undertaken a new FAIR
(Familial, Associational, & Incidental Relationships) Initiative to correlate patients with other patients
through certain defined relationships. The "FAIR-correlated" patients will be made available through
MICARD (Massachusetts Integrated Clinical Academic Research Database), the UMass
implementation of the i2b2 (http://www.i2b2.org) informatics platform for clinical research. As
part of this initiative, a set of i2b2 webclient plugins has been engineered to enable researchers
to utilize such relationship information in their studies. Additionally, the approach and
methodology refined to identify such relationships, the open schema developed to encapsulate
these "FAIR information", the simple FAIR Tabulation File defined, as well as a set of tools
crafted to automatically generate the FAIR XML and to facilitate updating the i2b2 database,
along with the aforementioned i2b2 webclient plugins, will also be made available to all other
academic institutions that are part of the i2b2 community.
