The Insights to Inspire (I2I) is a series of blogs and/or webinars highlighting the innovative and unique strategies implemented by a CTSA Program institution to improve on a given Common Metric. The insights gained may inspire hubs to use this actionable intelligence to move the needle on the metrics.
The goals of the I2I are to:
- Foster innovation and new ideas
- Encourage collaboration across institutions
- Inspire action

Insights to Inspire 2022: The Journey Continues – Data Quality
In re-imagining its Clinical Data Warehouse (CDW), Spectrum, the Stanford Center for Clinical and Translational Research and Education — home to the Stanford Clinical & Translational Science Award (CTSA) — has focused on improving the quality of its research data and increasing the frequency with which it refreshes that data. As a result, researchers can now participate in many more data studies than before, including Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) network studies and study-a-thons such as COVID-related descriptive studies.
Insights to Inspire 2022: The Journey Continues – Data Standardization
In their efforts to recruit more than one million patients for a significant research study, Northwestern Memorial HealthCare (NMHC) and the Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences (NUCATS) Institute realized the need to standardize medication data in their joint venture, the Northwestern Medicine Enterprise Data Warehouse (NMEDW). The path to standardization required coordination between the two organizations.
Insights to Inspire 2022: The Journey Continues – Process Improvements
The Ohio State University (OSU) is on a journey to modernize its research informatics infrastructure by increasing access to clinical data for researchers by adopting a new data classification, integrating research tools into the electronic health record (EHR) for improved care, and deploying general discovery infrastructure all on a governance process that is reliable and transparent.
