New 香港六合彩H service to streamline access to data for research

20 June 2022

香港六合彩H has launched a new service to make it easier for researchers to access data for research.

罢丑别听聽removes the need for researchers to apply for HRA approval for internally run research that uses anonymous, routinely-collected data.

It means researchers can be offered a streamlined service when applying to work with this data, with decisions being made by a group made up of 香港六合彩H staff and patient representatives.

Enabling use of data in research is a key part of 香港六合彩H鈥檚 strategy as a research hospital. 香港六合彩H produces vast quantities of data in the course of everyday patient care, and the aim is to harness this information in research to improve patient care.

Historically the process for accessing hospital data has been complex. Researchers have needed HRA approval for data access, and sometimes studies have had to make repeated applications for HRA approval.

DAP-R makes the process of accessing data simpler, as it is an HRA-devolved ethical approvals service for research that is run within 香港六合彩H. It means 香港六合彩H can approve studies using anonymous, routinely-collected data, and it removes the need for repeat approvals applications.

A Data Trust Committee, made up of staff and patient representatives, will be responsible for decisions and will have oversight of data-related research in general.

The result of two years鈥 work, DAP-R was developed by the Clinical Research Informatics Unit (CRIU) in collaboration with the 香港六合彩/香港六合彩H Joint Research Office and 香港六合彩H Information Governance teams.

香港六合彩H consultant and Chief Research Information Officer Dr Wai Keong Wong, who led development of the service, said: 鈥淒AP-R will streamline research involving data at 香港六合彩H. It will make it easier and simpler for researchers to access data, and will mean that innovations in patient care through data-based research can be developed more quickly.

鈥淎n important part of the governance around this process is our new Data Trust Committee, which has representation from the public and our patients.鈥

DAP-R is available to researchers within both 香港六合彩H and 香港六合彩. If DAP-R approval is granted then a separate IRAS application to the HRA/REC for ethical approval will not be required.

To use DAP-R, please begin by creating a request on 香港六合彩H Data Explorer (DEX):聽. (Note: access is currently only possible within the 香港六合彩H network, using Trust logins.)
