Subject: RE: PCORnet: Draft Common Data Model 1.0

Several thoughts:


1)    Is there any convention in use by data partners that might require 
masking full DOB for patients age >= 90, given Safe Harbor rules for older 
individuals?

2)    The patient ID isn't supposed to mean anything. However, i am hopeful 
that there will come a day when a patient, with consent, will be linkable 
ACROSS CDRNs/PPRNs. In that event, it seems likely that there would need to be 
some mechanism to optionally generate an encrypted patient ID, and also to know 
how an encrypted ID was generated (much as the PX_CODETYPE field specifies 
which coding system is being used for the corresponding PX variable). Should we 
add two or more extra text fields at this stage to allow for this capability? 
As it is, it does not feel very patient centric to me to set up a CDM that 
precludes willing patients to be able to do this

3)    As a point of clarification, i think that the enrollment table needs 
stronger warnings that to represent a patient as truly enrolled, the data 
partner needs to be quite certain that they can represent complete capture of 
all healthcare utilization for the individual. While the nomenclature is 
obviously borrowed from Mini-Sentinel where health plans can generally feel 
comfortable that this is true, it feels like the default condition for most 
health systems is that they CANNOT represent this unless they also have access 
to health plan / insurance data.  So my expectation is that this table will 
mostly be blank for most patients for most CDRNs and probably all PPRNs where 
there is access to health system (but not health plan) data.

4)    I agree with the prior comment that the CHART field seems better 
represented at the Encounter level (and in the Encounter table) than in an 
enrollment table.

5)    The ENCTYPE description requests that data partners 'unbundle' an ED 
visit from an inpatient hospitalization encounter. In some data, like Medicare, 
these get bundled. Is this optional, or a requirement? Also, there is a 
description, "Includes ED encounters that become inpatient stays", ; I suggest 
to make explicit that it includes ED visits that don't lead to inpatient stays 
too. Also, is this the appropriate encounter type for a patient who was 
admitted to a 24 hour observation unit? Might mention that.

6)    I want to put a vote in for adding an optional field to the Encounter 
table that consists of unstructured data (free text) of the clinical note that 
has been scrubbed of PHI.

7)    Is there a strong reason to mask the Provider ID? Why not use NPI? I 
would think that there should be much less sensitivity around this, give that 
it's publically available 
https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/NPPESRegistry/NPIRegistryHome.do

8)    Similarly, is there any possibility to add hospital ID using any 
recognized taxonomy, such as the American Hospital Association ID? This could 
be quite useful http://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/db/state/ahalinkage/aha_linkage.jsp

Subject: PCORnet: Draft Common Data Model 1.0

Dear PCORnet Colleagues,

We are pleased to distribute the attached draft of the initial PCORnet Common 
Data Model for your review and welcome your comments and feedback. As you may 
know, we have a very tight timeline to finalize the PCORnet CDM Version 1.0 
(March 31) so we kindly ask that you collate your Network's feedback and submit 
it to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> by close of business, 
Tuesday, March 25th.

We recognize that this will be an iterative process once partners begin to 
implement the model. We plan to use the DSSNI TF calls and one-on-one calls to 
discuss implementation details and gather and communicate lessons learned. We 
look forward to working with you on this process.

Kind regards,
Jenny
