Topics addressed will include data privacy, openness, policy, education and the impacts of sharing data, how to do it, when to do it, and when not to. Speakers and audience members come from diverse fields such as: Academic Research; Information Technology; Quality Assurance; Regulatory Compliance; Private Industry; Grant Funding; Government.PowerPoint presentation during Lightning Talks given on June 3, 2016.Rachel is affiliated with the University of Colorado - Anschutz Medical Campus.This talk will describe the software underlying CHORDS, the concept of a federated query, the methods CHORDS uses to enable site participation, and the formal agreements required to contribute to the network or query distributed data. Finally, we will discuss growth of this technology platform and anticipated needs and challenges as CHORDS serves new use cases to enable clinical health research studies and other research activities. A key challenge is the need for patient record linkage to unduplicate an individual's medical records across systems. A solution underway seeks to transfer data to an external partner to leverage an existing master patient index tool used for clinical care.born digitalPresentation slidesengCHORDSColorado health observation regional data servicedata sharing and aggregationPopMedNetdata sharing governanceTextThis presentation is open access and distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).
