BILH i2b2. The BILH i2b2 website contains clinical data on more than 6 million patients across all BILH hospitals, including diagnoses, procedures, medications, laboratory test results, and more, for a total of over 1 billion data points. BILH i2b2 seamlessly integrates data from Epic with historical BIDMC data (data never loaded into Epic) going back to 1997. BILH i2b2 is available to all BILH investigators and is complementary to research tools in Epic. It has a simple user interface designed to enable investigators to get started with little or no training.
Clinical Query 2 (CQ2). CQ2 is the legacy i2b2 system for BIDMC, which will continue to be supported until the transition to BILH i2b2 is complete. Use CQ2 if you need to access queries that were previously run in CQ2. It contains data on 3 million patients from BIDMC from 1997 through May, 2024. No future data updates are planned. CQ2 is only available to investigators at BIDMC. With IRB approval, investigators can continue to download data through CQ2. To access CQ2, login to https://portal.bidmc.org. Click the Applications tab. Under the Research section click the link to Clinical Query 2.
SHRINE. The Shared Health Research Information Network (SHRINE) is a real-time federated query tool that connects the i2b2 systems at different hospitals. Use SHRINE to gain access to larger or more diverse patient populations. Please email Griffin Weber for more information about using SHRINE.
