Virtualization of open-source secure web services to support data exchange in a pediatric critical care research network
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: OBJECTIVES: To examine the feasibility of deploying a virtual web service for sharing data within a research network, and to evaluate the impact on data consistency and quality. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Virtual machines (VMs) encapsulated an open-source, semantically and syntactically interoperable secure web service infrastructure along with a shadow database. The VMs were deployed to 8 Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network Clinical Centers. RESULTS: Virtual web services could be deployed in hours. The interoperability of the web services reduced format misalignment from 56% to 1% and demonstrated that 99% of the data consistently transferred using the data dictionary and 1% needed human curation. CONCLUSIONS: Use of virtualized open-source secure web service technology could enable direct electronic abstraction of data from hospital databases for research purposes.
