Data Sources in EM: How to Leverage Existing National Datasets for Your Research Projects

Data Sources in Emergency Medicine: How to Leverage Existing National Datasets for Your Research Projects (Research Committee Sponsored) Presenters: Rebecca E. Cash, PhD Remle P. Crowe, PhD Shih-Chuan (Andrew) Chou, MD, MPH, SM Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to: Explain how existing national datasets can be used for research in emergency medicine. Summarize basic information about the most common datasets, including best uses and limitations. Discuss the data request process, DUAs, and IRB concerns for using these national datasets in their own research. Well-designed retrospective analyses often offer valuable insight into novel research questions in emergency medicine. Fortunately, there are ample national data sources relevant to emergency medicine to tap into for research that can elevate your project beyond your own electronic health record system. However, it is critical to understand how those data came about and when to use (or not use!) each of these national datasets. This session will explore the landscape of national datasets and registries that are relevant to emergency medicine research in the United States. First, we will explain how these data sources can be useful for conducting research in emergency medicine, including why using national datasets (versus local data or collecting your own) is an important tool for launching or progressing a research career. We will discuss key information about datasets such as NEDS, NEMSIS, NHAMCS, and CARES—including how data were collected, the best uses of each, and their limitations. We will also touch on important logistical questions in using national datasets such as requesting the data, the data use agreement process, and key concerns with IRB applications. Participants will learn to 1) explain how national datasets can be used for research in emergency medicine; 2) summarize basic information about the most common datasets, including their limitations; 3) discuss the data request process, data use agreements, and IRB concerns for using these national datasets in their own research."
