Debbie,

That's a good question - I somewhat arbitrarily picked one of the groups per 
patient (Oracle min() function on the ID number associated with the group).  
Maybe that's not a good approach - I'm open to other ideas.

Subject: Re: Due Monday, January 12th: Population characterization (parts A and 
B) for PCORNet LOI

Hi,

When I do my query for Part B: Insurance Coverage Overview, there are patients 
(25%) which are in multiple
groups: for example, Commercial and Medicare FFS.  How are other groups marking 
this?  I will get > 100%
if I mark these individuals in both groups.  The effective date is the same, so 
I have no choice but to use both.

All,

As we discussed in the GPC-dev call 
yesterday<http://listserv.kumc.edu/pipermail/gpc-dev/attachments/20150107/1a231dff/attachment-0001.pdf>,
 we're working on PCORnet Phase 
2<http://www.pcori.org/announcement/national-patient-centered-clinical-research-network-clinical-data-research-networks>
 letter of intent (LOI).  Much like the quarterly updates we've provided to 
PCORI, the LOI document 
template<http://www.pcori.org/sites/default/files/PCORI-PFA-CDRN-LOI-Template.doc>
 has a couple of sections with tables devoted to population characteristics:

*         Part A: Population Overview

*         Part B: Insurance Coverage Overview

Brittany sent out an e-mail to the site PIs on Friday (January 02, 2015) asking 
that each site fill in these sections (among others) by Tuesday, January 6th.  
However, as per GPC-dev meeting notes for January 6, 
2015<http://listserv.kumc.edu/pipermail/gpc-dev/attachments/20150107/1a231dff/attachment-0001.pdf>,
 Dr. Waitman has extended the requested deadline to Monday January 12th (for 
the tables in sections A and B at least).

Please let us know right away who from each site will be the primary contact 
for providing numbers for the tables in parts A and B.  For the PCORI quarterly 
updates, I believe I got population numbers from the following people:

*         University of Iowa: Prakash Nadkarni

*         Medical College of Wisconsin: Brad Taylor

*         Marshfield Clinic: Laurel Verhagen

*         San Antonio: Alex Bokov

*         Children's Mercy Hospital: Rita Fothergill

*         University of Nebraska: Jason Lebsack

*         University of Wisconsin - Madison: Tom Mish

*         University of Texas Southwestern: Phillip Reeder

*         University of Minnesota: Justin Dale

There's been some discussion regarding what "Number of active patients with 
data in the EMR" means.  After talking with Dr. Waitman yesterday I plan to use 
the same method we used to characterize enrollment for PCORI milestone 
1.1<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/97>:

"The GPC will use a refined definition of enrollment based upon the criteria we 
used in our proposal...2 visits in the 3 years where the visits are separated 
by greater than 30 days"

I also plan to use that number for "active patients" as the denominator for 
part B.

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Nathan
