I’m trying as best as possible to not have to deploy completely separate ETLs 
for ACT,GPC, and my local i2b2.  I’m using the i2b2 ontology to handle the 
differences between the various terminologies.  This allows me to keep the data 
consistent between my various i2b2 instances and use views, vs having to 
duplicate the data 3 times.  One each for Local, ACT, and GPC.

There are some difference and times where we have had to deploy data for one 
project and not the others, and in those cases, we just isolate the terminology 
to the project that needs it.  So far, that has worked fairly well for us at 
UTSW.

Good question. KUMC hasn't crossed into ACT and SHRINE yet, though it's on our 
horizon. I'm pretty sure some GPC sites have, though; I'll let them chime in 
for themselves. My impression is that no, a separate isolated i2b2 is not 
needed. We ask that sites share as much of our ETL processes as is manageable, 
though; we recommend 
HERON<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/wiki/DevTeams#heron-kumc>,
 or at least pieces such as 
TumorRegistry<https://informatics.kumc.edu/work/wiki/TumorRegistry>.

We're also using RXNorm, ICD9, and LOINC in GPC, though there's more than one 
way to integrate those into i2b2. Some parts of our design are more stable and 
uniform across GPC than others 
(DataRepositoryManagement<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/wiki/DataRepositoryManagement>
 is probaby the best summary and/or starting place). I see you have an account 
on babel<http://babel.gpcnetwork.org/>, so you can poke around whenever you 
like. It'll be great to have stuff from your site any time; ACT style stuff is 
more than welcome.

Another opportunity for comparison is a demo in one of our weekly 
gotomeetings<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/wiki/SoftwareDev#next-agenda>.
 We've had many of the other GPC 
DevTeams<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/wiki/DevTeams> do 
that. (We even have recordings of a few, though they're not terribly handy; 
here's hoping for time to index them on that DevTeams page.) We plan to have 
UNMC talk about their CDM ETL on the 29th, but any week after that might work 
fine.

Hi, all,



Indiana University is pleased to be joining GPC as part of phase II!



We are already part of the SHRINE-based ACT consortium, as I believe some of 
you are also. We build a separate instance of I2B2 using RXNORM, ICD9 and LOINC 
from our HIE for ACT. We wondered if you had any suggestions or guidance on 
best practice for leveraging this into GPC/CDM, or if a separate isolated I2B2 
and ETL is needed for GPC. What are the rest of you doing about this?



This may be explained in the rich technical documentation you have... if so 
could you point me to the right resources?



Thanks,



Jim Meeks-Johnson

Principle Engineer
