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.

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. --- Debbie On 1/7/2015 8:58 AM, Nathan Graham wrote: 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!
