General description of the application HD4RES v2

Last updated: 2023-08-22 14:44

What?

The component HD4RES v2 can be seen as a monitoring tool that provides researchers who are managing a research project on the healthdata.be platform a set of (non scientific) operational reports. The first reports foreseen by healthdata.be are:

  • Count of study records in the different components of healthdata.be (HD4DP v2 Local, HD4DP v2 web, HD DWH Staging, HD DWH CDW, HD DWH Exploitation, ...)
  • Count of unique study subjects in the different components of healthdata.be
  • Count of unique study subjects in multiple studies available at the healthdata.be platform
  • List of data providers (organisations) for the research project
  • List of data providers (individuals) for the research project
  • List of data users (organisations) on the healthdata.be platform
  • List of data users (individuals) on the healthdata.be platform
  • Status of all technical components of healthdata.be used for the research project
  • List of incidents related to the research project
  • List of requests related to the research project

In its current form, HD4RES v2 is a collection of data tables accessible via the SAS eGuide component at the data warehouse of healthdata.be. It is thus integrated in the core of the research environment. In a next stage, the data tables will be visualized using the SAS Visual Analytics component at the data warehouse. While a predefined set of visualizations will be offered by healthdata.be, the researcher will be able to create and execute workflows for interactive reporting and exploration.

In contrast with HD4RES v1, HD4RES v2 is not a communication tool with the data providers to verify the quality of the submitted data. This functionality is now only available in the Data Validation Tool of the healthdata.be platform.

Who?

The HD4RES v2 component is only accessible by researchers formally involved in the management of a research project on the healthdata.be platform.

Where?

The component HD4RES v2 is part of the data warehouse environment of the healthdata.be platform.

When?

The HD4RES v2 component is available as of Thursday 20th of October 2022 and can be accessed 24/7/365.
