Indiana Pandemic Information Collaborative (IPIC)

Indiana Pandemic Information Collaborative (IPIC)
Engage through: www.pandemiccollaborative.org/ Members of IPIC are committed to working together to share data, information, and knowledge and coordinate efforts in order to beat COVID-19 and to address other future health needs to keep Indiana healthy and safe
Overview	• Combating the COVID-19 pandemic requires all of us to work together to protect our families, communities, and the residents of our state. • From the start of this pandemic, Indiana's professionals across government, health systems, university, biosciences industry, and non-profit sectors have been working to address the crisis. • Recognizing that we must respond quickly and coordinate our efforts for greater impact, we formed IPIC to maximize the impact of our collective efforts and ensure the health of our community.
Lead Org	Regenstrief Institute – Shaun Grannis (Regenstrief Institute/IU School of Medicine)
Participating Orgs and Roles	• Seven primary workstreams: three are focused on technical roles, and four are focused on engagement • Data Modeling (e.g., predictive models around COVID). Led by Brian Dixon (Regenstrief/Fairbanks School of Public Health) and Patrick McGill (Community Health) • Data Visualization (e.g., COVID dashboards). Led by Shaun Grannis (Regenstrief/IUSM) and Tony Pastorino (IU Health) • Data Interchange (e.g., data movement and exchange). Led by John Kansky (IHIE) and John Roach (Resultant) • State Government. Led by Josh Martin (MPH) • BioSciences. Led by Darshan Shah (BioCrossroads) • Health Systems. Led by Matt Browning (Indiana Hospital Association) • Community-facing organizations. Led by Sarah Wiehe (Indiana CTSI/IUSM/Regenstrief Institute) and Jackie Dowd (Lilly Endowment)
History/ Funding	Initiated in March 2020 to create a collective data presence across Indiana to attack COVID-19 This collaborative is a coalition of the willing and interested. Formal entity and funding do not exist.
Data Leveraged (primary and secondary)	• Data is provided, shared, and consumed by numerous parties including IDOH, FSSA, MPH, IHIE, Regenstrief Institute, Resultant, IHA, Fairbanks School of Public Health, and numerous hospital systems and testing sites. • The full breadth of this data sharing cannot be captured in brief; however, key data sharing occurs via the partner organizations, enabled by this initiative. • Key examples of the data leveraged include those that power state-wide COVID-19 dashboards and are enabled by collaborative data flows such as those depicted in the figure on the following page.
Community Impact	• IPIC is a virtual organization with the original intention to bring together organizations to combat COVID. As the public health response toward the COVID pandemic decreases, the membership has decided to continue the group’s activities to serve as a useful convener for data-related activities for future health needs across Indiana. • More Effective Together: Our IPIC groups bring together the best and the brightest minds across Indiana to coordinate activities related to data-driven decisions and actions. Our teams bring their unique perspectives and expertise to bear to overcome barriers, apply state-of-the-art expertise, and ensure that the best information is put in the hands of decisions makers each day.
Future Focus Areas	• IPIC is a virtual organization that brings together organizations to combat COVID. The future of IPIC will be dependent on the direction the membership chooses and has not yet been determined. However, it is anticipated that this group’s activities will evolve to remain of value such that it will likely survive the pandemic and serve as a useful convener for data-related activities for future health-needs across Indiana. • Numerous opportunities exist for IPIC to potentially take on a larger role, such as developing standards for data sharing for public health challenges, becoming a central body for new collaborations/spinouts, etc. • If you are interested in joining and helping set the direction, please contact IPIC at https://www.pandemiccollaborative.org/contact.html

IHIE-IDOH COVID-19 Lab Results Dataflow^[1]	• Hospitals having existing IHIE integrations feed COVID-19 results in real-time through IHIE. • IHIE sends these results daily to the IDOH ELR, Resultant and the Regenstrief Institute. • Resultant and Regenstrief Institute use this information to update both the State and Regenstrief COVID-19 dashboards. • The IDOH also receives a direct feed of COVID-19 results from other facilities and state institutions. • IDOH forwards these results through their NBS system, which sends processed results back to IHIE. • IDOH also sends LIMSNET and Optum processed COVID-19 results to IHIE from non-IHIE reporting facilities multiple times per day. LIMSNET is an application used by ISDH to store processed lab results performed by ISDH and their partner labs (IUH/MACL/Quantigen/Lilly). • IHIE receives these results to provide a more complete picture on the current statewide COVID-19 testing status for physicians and other clinical users in IHIE systems.
