Project Description:

We are Canada based Educational Institute RFI (Requesting for Information) and budget for development of Dialysis database software. We require the assembly of a novel, state-of-the-art, provincial renal data database that will pool clinical data from 12 existing sources to create a powerful research tool. Data on approximately 2400 subjects will initially be included in the database however the database should be equipped to adjust to future expansions and accommodate 5 - 10 times more data.
Summary of database that will be pooled for Inclusion in Software:
1) Electronic medical records: Include demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements
(examples: height, weight, blood pressure) comorbid conditions, residual native kidney function etc
2) Vascular access data: including data on vascular access type, dysfunction, revision and failure
3) Kidney transplantation databases: include information on eligibility for transplantation, date of
transplantation, transplant graft function, sensitization (PRA titers), blood group type (ABO), HLA details,
and immunosuppression and donor information
4) Electronic radiology databases: include information on commonly ordered radiological investigations
including plain radiographs, nuclear medicine scansetc
5) Multidisciplinary renal clinic databases: include information on attendance at hemodialysis education,
receipt of and adherence to dietitian advice, timing of referral for transplantation assessment or vascular
access surgery, and family support.
6) Renal pathology databases: include underlying renal histology that will supplement existing information
on the cause of renal disease.
7) Laboratory database: include the results of all blood tests performed for clinical purposes, including a
historical record dating back to early 2008
8) National Register: includes information on race, measured comorbidity at the time of hemodialysis
initiation, and historical information on hemodialysis modalities/clinical outcomes for patients who initiated
hemodialysis in other provinces
9) 2001 Canadian Census and Southam Medical Database: includes the population of each geographic
area, as well as information on whether it is in a rural location. The six-digit residential postal code for
each subject can be used to obtain the mean neighbourhood income and education levels for each
participant, and to assess the availability of primary care physicians in their local community.
10) Alberta Health and Wellness: Registration File, CIHI hospital inpatient, Day procedures,
Ambulatory Care Classification System, Physician billing claims submitted, Health Insurance Plan Payment Data
11) Data from existing research databases assembled by the participating investigators will be merged
12) . Inventory data on previously stored biological specimens. Inventory includes types of specimens,
numbers of aliquots, and storage location data.
Interested Companies are requested to contact with RFI (Request for Information) latest by 4th Jan 2010 the format of RFP (Request for Proposal) will be provided at the time of budget finalization. This is onshore and offsite work. Question can be asked not later than 3 days of the closing date via email. For more details check attachment.
