Why Are We Doing It

Providing key infrastructure and facilitating collaborations to support health care clinicians and researchers is core to HSSC’s mission.  HSSC offers the DaRT training to accelerate and enhance clinical research, which can ultimately improve the lives of South Carolinians.

Each DaRT training focuses on the range of cutting-edge research resources HSSC provides its members and is modified to meet the needs of its audience. Attendees learn about the HSSC eIRB Platform and Palmetto Profiles, which links professionals with shared interests, as well as SCResearch.org, which matches patients with relevant clinical trials in the area. The training program can also include information about REDCap, a secure survey and data collection tool and a Geographic Information System, which can present geographical data for analysis.  Perhaps the most compelling portion of the training educates individuals about HSSC’s Clinical Data Warehouse (CDW), which houses data from 3.8 million patients served at multiple hospital systems across the state. The training also includes step-by-step instructions  on how to request CDW data and how to use the Informatics for Integrating Biology and Bedside (i2b2) query tool.

HSSC is committed to supporting researchers across the state and has held multiple trainings, with over 250 registered attendees. Please click here to view and register for our upcoming training opportunities.
