Harnessing COVID-19 data through collaboration-rhe Consortium of HCA Healthcare and Academia for Research Generation.
This article describes the rapid initiation of a COVID-19 research consortium known as CHARGE (Consortium of HCA Healthcare and Academia for Research Generation), a multi-institution research partnership in conjunction AHRQ, and its resulting application of the learning health system model. HCA Healthcare developed a curated registry of data during the care of
121, 000 inpatients with COVID-19 in 2020, and AHRQ, along with other partners, helped guide the development of CHARGE to facilitate external researchers using registry data to expand evidence regarding the best management of COVID-19. While HCA Healthcare retained full control of its registry data sets and their use, consortium members were provided academic freedom to conduct approved studies. Through the process, 10 research projects were approved through March 2022. Topics included therapeutic efficacy, health equity, risk stratification, operation efficiency, and predictive models for COVID-19 outcomes. Operational support for all workgroups, including database management, subject matter expertise, legal and privacy consultation, and other support, was provided by HCA Healthcare. The researchers concluded that the development of CHARGE facilitated the development of research partnerships and data solutions to utilize immense amounts of health care data collected during the care of a large influx of critically ill patients.
