UK Health Informatics Research Network
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Dundee
Department Name: Div of Cardiovascular&Diabetes Medicine
Abstract
The primary aim of the UK Health Informatics Research Network ("Network") is to strengthen the UK's capability in health informatics research. It will achieve this by building inclusive partnerships, promoting co-ordination of key activities and acting as a signpost of best practice both in the UK and internationally.
The Network will be led by the Farr Institute of Health Informatics Research ("Farr Institute") which is comprised of four nodes distributed across the UK and led from the University College London, University of Manchester, Swansea University, and the University of Dundee. In total the Farr Institute involves 24 UK academic institutions and two MRC units with expertise in health informatics research. It aims to deliver high-quality, cutting-edge research linking electronic health data with other forms of research and routinely collected data, as well as building capacity in health informatics research.
The Network will be inclusive and harness expertise in the wider UK and where appropriate international research community; develop methodologies; share best practice; provide a central route for collaborating with industry, the NHS and policy; and engage with the public to promote wider debate about the use of health records in research. It will act as an open and dynamic forum to promote outstanding research. The Network and Farr Institute are not responsible for providing data, but will work with the data providers within the NHS, academia, industry and across the public sector to share and develop methodological approaches to using the data and sharing best practice. Together the Network and the Farr Institute aim to transform the landscape of health informatics in ways that will lead to significant health and economic benefits for the UK.
In order to build the UK's capability in health informatics research, the UK Health Informatics Research Network will promote wide participation. Membership is open to all academic, government, NHS, public and private sector researchers and other professionals with an interest in health informatics from bona fide organisations. This will include colleagues from across all sectors who are involved in the provision, collection, analysis, management, control, and promotion of health and health-related data for approved research purposes. These individuals include, but are not limited to, computer scientists, software engineers, statisticians, healthcare providers, clinicians, ethicists, bio-informaticians, social scientists, and regulators. The objective of the Network is to make a significant global impact in seven key areas:
? Promoting cutting-edge inter-disciplinary research at scale
? Providing an interface to promote collaboration between academia, industry and the NHS
? Developing methodologies for the linkage and analysis of large data sets
? Developing standards and best practice for interoperability across health and non-health related data sets
? Coordinating training and career development opportunities
? Developing dynamic and sustained ways of engaging with the public
? Developing a coherent vision of health informatics research in the UK supporting the knowledge economy in a global context.

In the end the European Parliament, Council of Ministers and the European Commission agreed a compromise text on the Data Protection Regulation. This will help to ensure genuine scientific research with health data can continue, subject to safeguards that will ensure individuals' data are used safely and securely. |

| Impact | Adoption of SHIP blueprint in Scotland has allowed academics, NHS and government to demonstrate how use of the principals facilitates the use of health data linkage to provide evidence to support and evaluate health care and management policy implementation. The successful demonstration of these principals in action is influencing the governance and development with the public of data sharing and linkage principals in the rest of the UK and other countries such as Canada and Australia. |

| Impact | Each year since 2013, three or four graduating MPH students from the University of Edinburgh's on-campus MPH programme have selected SCPHRP as the venue for conducting their three-month MPH research project, under the active supervision of SCPHRP Fellows and staff. While they are based with us, they also become familiar with how SCPHRP works with its policy and practice stakeholders to move its research into action. This contributes to the research and knowledge transfer skills of these graduates - many of them from abroad -- who are joining the international public health professional workforce. All our student evaluations of their project time with us have been very positive. |

| Description | The project will inform decisions on a potential Jisc national infrastructure for secure access to data for researchers across various academic disciplines. We are also piloting an authentication, authorisation and accounting infrastructure (AAAI) to demonstrate how our access and identity management services can be used to control access to sensitive data. Controlled access will further enhance the UK's research capacity in areas such as medical, clinical, health and the social sciences. |

| PI Contribution | The Farr Network is contributing £50,000 to fund a joint research project with ATi. The first goal of the FASHIN project is to develop techniques that will provide more automation in running queries over The Farr Institute infrastructure. Secondly, it aims at reducing the amount of computational resources from The Farr Institute infrastructure required to run experiments, by shipping part of the execution to third-party infrastructure. A final goal is to identify subsets of the NHS data that could be made available to the public without compromising privacy. The algorithms that will be developed will be implemented in a prototype and demoed using data from NHS and query workloads from The Farr Institute. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The Alan Turing Institute will provide £50,000 and a research fellow to provide the computer science and mathematical expertise required for successful completion of the project. |

| Results and Impact | In December 2014 the Farr Institute partnered with the ABPI to host the Farr Industry Forum 2014. The aim of the forum was to explore the models by which the Farr Institute and the pharmaceutical industry can work together. The Forum sought to identify: Shared research interests; Methodology challenges which require partnership to solve; Training needs and standardisation in the pharmaceutical industry that can be met by the Farr Institute. Themes were; Real world evidence; Trials - pragmatic and stratified medicine; Capacity building. Discussions and presentations explored: How different stakeholders can co-create with the Farr Institute to utilise relevant linked data sets; How to access the innovative methodologies and expertise within the Farr institute for improved analysis of datasets; The work the Farr Institute is doing to enable research with linked electronic data sets in terms of informing discussions on: a) Proportionate governance for access to data; b) Setting standards for safe havens; c) Public engagement; d) Infrastructure to enhance research collaborations. One outcome of the Forum was a signed MOU between the Farr institute and the ABPI. |
