The ENACT Grand Rounds, a monthly seminar series hosted by the ENACT Network, fosters learning on real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) generation, promoting an Open Science and Data Sharing culture.

The series accelerates scientific discovery and improves translational research efficiency, quality, and impact by exploring Electronic Health Records (EHR) in solving problems like secondary data analysis, surveillance, learning healthcare systems, and policy. Attendees will learn from case examples using ENACT synthetic datasets, distributed analytics, and cohort discovery, showcasing experts from the CTSA Consortium and beyond.

Dr. Visweswaran is Professor of Biomedical Informatics and Vice-Chair of Clinical Informatics at the University of Pittsburgh. He is Director of the Center for Clinical Artificial Intelligence in the Department of Biomedical Informatics. His research interests include AI-enabled clinical decision support, racial equity in clinical algorithms, patient-specific modeling, and large scale HER data analysis. He is a PD/PI of the ENACT network and oversees the informatics activities.

This talk will examine the research value of aggregated counts derived from the ENACT network. For instance, counts obtained via SHRINE can be beneficial for epidemiological research, pharmacovigilance, and the generation of clinical evidence. The presentation will discuss the strengths and limitations of count-based analyses and explore how to automate the execution of a large number of queries in SHRINE.
