Executive Director Dipti Ranganathan will now serve as the University of Chicago’s first Chief Privacy Officer (CPO). As CPO, Dipti will collaborate with University stakeholders to build and manage a privacy and data governance program, addressing administrative and research data. A national search for Dipti’s permanent successor as CRI Director will be launched soon, engaging multiple stakeholders across the Division. On an interim basis, CRI will be overseen by Julie Johnson, Associate Director of Clinical Research Informatics.
Date and Time: Wednesday, January 27, 2020 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM

In collaboration with the Human Imaging Research Office (HIRO), the CRI is for the first time making images available in our COVID-19 limited data mart. In addition to the structured data already in this data mart, which includes patient demographics, encounters, diagnoses, labs, medications, flow sheets, and procedures, researchers will now have access to HIRO imaging data. Chest radiographs are currently available, and chest CT scans will be added soon. These images are in the DICOM format, and access requires IRB approval for use of the limited data mart.
More information about these images is available in our Medical Imaging Tip Sheet. If you have any questions, please reach out to Julie Johnson at jjohnso3@bsd.uchicago.edu or join us for online office hours.
Information on Use of Electronic Informed Consent: Use of Electronic signatures and Electronic Consent has been approved by the BSD Office of Clinical Research. The following guidance documents are available:
