Architecture of the Japan Ischemic Heart Disease Multimodal Prospective Data Acquisition for Precision Treatment (J-IMPACT) System.

The utilization of electronic medical records and multimodal medical data is an ideal approach to build a real-time and precision registry type study with a smaller effort and cost, which may fill a gap between evidence-based medicine and the real-world clinical practice. The Japan Ischemic heart disease Multimodal Prospective data Acquisition for preCision Treatment (J-IMPACT) project aimed to build an clinical data registry system that electronically collects not only medical records, but also multimodal data, including coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) report, in standardized data formats for clinical studies.The J-IMPACT system comprises the standardized structured medical information exchange (SS-MIX), coronary angiography and intervention reporting system (CAIRS), and multi-purpose clinical data repository system (MCDRS) interconnected within the institutional network. In order to prove the concept, we acquired multimodal medical data of 6 consecutive cases that underwent PCI through the J-IMPACT system in a single center. Data items regarding patient background, laboratory data, prescriptions, and PCI/cardiac catheterization report were correctly acquired through the J-IMPACT system, and the accuracy of the multimodal data of the 4 categories was 100% in all 6 cases.The application of J-IMPACT system to clinical studies not only fills the gaps between randomized clinical trials and real-world medicine, but may also provide real-time big data that reinforces precision treatment for each patient.
