*** i2b2 ROADMAP for 2013 ***
Release 1.7 = “Temporal Query enabled i2b2”
Now available at our Software Page.
Version 1.7 of the i2b2 software features two important innovations. The first is the introduction of temporal queries, an implementation of the temporal theory development from Core 1. This will allow the definition of events from collections of observations, and then the ordering of those events to occur in specific sequences with a specified number of intervening hours or days. The second innovation is support for the identity management cell which will enable the maintenance of protected health information in a separate area of the i2b2 Hive. The workflows that begin with unencrypted, fully identified notes or other kinds of identified data will be able to produce de-identified data at various levels. Depending on the transformation chosen, de-identified data may also be linked back to its original identified data.
Release i2b2-CT = “Clinical-Trial enabled i2b2”
In the summer of 2014 we are planning on the release of a version of i2b2 which represents a bundle of Community Supported i2b2 Plug-ins and Tools. This version will specifically support the end to end use case for the discovery of a set of patients for a clinical trial. Current plug-ins and features will be enhanced and new features added from the i2b2 community to provide increasingly focused selection capabilities to narrow down to a final, well qualified patient set. The process of advancing the levels of approval by data use agreements and institutional review boards will be supported to allow the recruitment process to proceed with the maximal respect for patient privacy and confidentiality.
