IRB approval is needed to request granular/identifiable data. Please visit the IRB page for more information.
TriNetX
TriNetX is a web-based research tool is available for generating de-identified cohorts and conducting downstream analysis. The data sources at Jefferson University encompass EPIC Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center (SKCC) Tumor Registry. Furthermore, there are additional datasets accessible within the TriNetX Research Network, encompassing Jefferson University and other collaborating institutions.
SlicerDicer
SlicerDicer is a versatile software application by Epic designed for the efficient and comprehensive exploration and analysis of complex healthcare and medical datasets. This powerful tool allows researchers to investigate a hunch and then refine their searches on the fly. In Hyperspace, users can examine trends, drill down to line-level details, and jump to related records to follow up.
To see populations (i.e. - total number of patients), an IRB is not required. However, researchers must have an IRB in order to view subject-level details and submit a request with all pertinent IRB documention to the privacy team via the Jefferson Data Request Form in Service-Now.
