Truveta delivers largest and most complete mother and child EHR dataset to advance healthcare
25 Abril 2024 - 8:00AM
Truveta, the company with a mission of Saving Lives with Data,
announced today the largest and most complete mother-child
electronic health record (EHR) dataset for scientifically rigorous
research on mothers and their children. Truveta empowers
researchers with unparalleled insights into the continuum of care
from pre-pregnancy through childbirth and beyond, while upholding
the highest standards of privacy protection and regulatory
compliance.
Healthcare research has long been challenged with understanding
maternal and pediatric health outcomes, often hindered by
fragmented data sources and privacy concerns. Truveta addresses
this critical gap by accurately connecting de-identified EHR data
from millions of mothers to their children, enabling researchers to
uncover insights that drive meaningful improvements in maternal and
pediatric healthcare outcomes. Now available in Truveta Data,
Truveta offers more than one million mother-child pairs, the
largest mother-child EHR dataset available today.
Truveta delivers regulatory-grade EHR data, including clinician
notes and images, linked with claims, social drivers of health
(SDOH), and mortality data, providing in-depth insights into
patient care. By providing a complete view of the patient journey
for mothers and their children, Truveta enables researchers to
conduct safety monitoring and comparative effectiveness research
and improve patient care.
“Perinatal women and their children have long been
excluded from clinical trials and other retrospective data sources,
and we can’t understand the full effects of medications, vaccines,
and diseases on their connected health outcomes,” said Terry
Myerson, CEO and co-founder of Truveta. “Truveta now offers the
largest mother-child EHR dataset, empowering researchers to advance
care for all mothers and children with complete, timely, and
representative data.”
Studying mothers and children through the entire pregnancy
journey and beyond
These new data offer researchers access to longitudinal clinical
data that follows mothers and their children throughout the entire
pregnancy journey and beyond, for research including:
- Understanding the
connection between maternal health and neonatal outcomes including
preterm delivery, neurodevelopmental outcomes, and childhood
conditions up to age 5.
- Monitoring
post-market safety data for chronic-disease medications or vaccines
received by mothers during pregnancy for regulatory submissions.
For example, identifying outcomes like conditions,
hospitalizations, and deaths observed in children born to mothers
who took a specific anti-seizure medication or vaccine during
pregnancy.
- Studying the use of
Category C medications during pregnancy and their effects on their
children. Category C medications include a wide variety of
medications with evidence of risk to fetuses in animal studies, but
no well-controlled studies in humans. Pregnant women are left to
consider whether the potential benefits of the drug outweigh the
risks.
- Exploring the
correlation of pediatric conditions like asthma, eczema, and others
with birth mothers’ demographics, SDOH indicators, medical history,
pregnancy outcomes, and more.
Key features of Truveta's mother-child capabilities
include:
- The most
complete, timely, and clean EHR data: Truveta delivers complete
electronic health record (EHR) data, including clinician notes
and images, from more than 30 health systems, linked with claims,
SDOH, and mortality data, for scientifically rigorous research.
Truveta Data provides regulatory grade, daily updated data from
more than 100 million de-identified patients across the US from
more than 800 hospitals and 20,000 clinics, providing the most
complete, timely, and representative view of patient care. With
access to over five years of longitudinal patient data, Truveta
offers unparalleled depth and breadth for healthcare research.
- Comprehensive
mother-child data: Truveta accurately connects EHR records of
more than one million mothers and their children with unprecedented
completeness, preserving critical data elements such as
demographics, SDOH indicators, medical history including all
medications and immunizations taken during pregnancy, pregnancy
outcomes, diagnoses, procedures, and more. Additionally, for the
child, key data related to the delivery is available, including
type of delivery, delivery complications, and delivery outcomes
such as gestational age, Apgar scores, birth weight/body
length/head circumference, and labs at time of birth; demographics,
and all diagnoses, procedures, and immunizations up to age 5.
- Regulatory-grade
compliance for privacy and security: Truveta’s privacy program
has been validated to ensure it meets the most rigorous regulatory
standards for privacy and security, including HIPAA compliance.
Truveta’s de-identification process has been certified by external
experts for meeting HIPAA Privacy Rule standards. Along with its
state-of-the-art de-identification, Truveta has additional security
and privacy controls, protocols, and processes in place to store,
manage, and link PHI, earning Truveta completion of Type 2 SOC 2
examination, and ISO 27001 certification with ISO 27018 and ISO
27791 extensions.
Comparable datasets are largely based on claims data, which
provide detailed billing and payment information and large sample
sizes but lack detail on clinical outcomes and patient journeys.
Claims datasets typically have time lags of 6-12 months and may be
subject to bias as they are optimized for reimbursement. Truveta
Data addresses these challenges.
“We are in the midst of a maternal health crisis in the United
States,” said Emily Garrett, MD, obstetrician and gynecologist,
Providence. “Prioritization of maternal research is essential to
save the lives of mothers and ensure the best outcomes for their
children. Truveta’s ever-growing dataset provides the data we need
to advance our understanding. The more we understand, the more
awareness it creates among fellow physicians, patients, and policy
makers.”
