That excerpt regards the CDM; presumably the CDM is sufficiently directly 
analyzable for PCORI needs. And we're not using the DataBuilder to build the 
CDM.

The "complete, longitudinal data" bit is about claims data, I believe; i.e. 
milestone 7.7 "Approaches to enhance the completeness and comprehensiveness of 
longitudinal data capture are developed and submitted to PCORI (RC 3) "

Which leaves helping researchers deal with DataBuilder output; this is a goal I 
personally support, but I don't know of any gpc-dev obligations or due dates in 
this area.

Subject: Re: [gpc-informatics] #228: DataBuilder output not directly analyzable

This is the only ticket I could find that directly addresses the following 
PCORI phase-I goal (emphasis mine):


  *   Organization of patient data mapped to the PCORnet Common Data 
Model<http://www.pcornet.org/resource-center/pcornet-common-data-model/> (CDM), 
including the extent to which complete, longitudinal data on one million 
patients is or will be available for research; fill out the required table; 
ability to efficiently respond to an SAS query generated through 
PopMedNet<http://www.popmednet.org/>

Data that is representable as a table that has the characteristics described in 
the ticket is trivially exportable to SAS as a CSV file. The hard part is 
making it representable as this type of table in the first place.

In addition, this ticket addresses the practical goal of giving the researchers 
we (UTHSCSA) are encouraging to apply for PCORI funding data that is actually 
usable without their statisticians messing around with SQLIte.

 Note I more or less stopped tracking milestone:data-agg1. I wonder what
 priority to give this ticket. More in due course...
