 See attached spreadsheet from PCORI. They are requesting we fill out some
 basic demographic for our entire populations as well as by cohort.

 Brittany,

 First Page (overall demographics):
 The grouping on the ages is different from (a) what we’ve gathered in the
 past, and (b) our default groupings within the GPC standard ontology (See
 Babel). However, it’s a relatively simple change to make. Debbie is in the
 quality code anyway making her final touches, I was about to create the
 new REDCap definitions for the new fields, so we can adopt this change
 relatively quickly. (Debbie tells me it’ll take a day to add this. It’ll
 add maybe 15minute of my type to create these new categories within our
 REDCap database.) Debbie has already started work on adding this code into
 the quality query

 I’ll create a ticket for it in a moment and add it to the list of things
 to accomplish.

 Second Page (demographics by cohort):
 More complicated is the question of cohorts. I look at the second page and
 I’m not sure that’s something I feel comfortable tackling with the quality
 query in this go around. I know that Dan & Co. had a hard time wrangling
 the exact query needed from each site for the breast cancer cohort. The
 ALS cohort was also problematic in that it included (at least at our site
 and I believe others) data that did not lie within the i2b2 database. In
 our case, this included going back and query for specific PCP
 relationships that do not reside within i2b2.
 It might be easier (and probably more accurate) to have each site break
 down the cohorts given the data that they supplied back to the GPC. They
 will have either the exact criteria used at their site or presumably the
 exact cohort they sent and can fairly easily break it down for themselves
 at their site.

 I’m assuming that this something that they want us to report on quarterly?
 If so, in the long run I believe we should tackle the second page. I’m not
 sure if we can automate the second page in the next day or two, which was
 our timeline for getting the quality query out.

 Dan/George do you guys want to comment on this here? Dan is this something
 we want to put to the entire group this coming Tuesday before proceeding?

 -TM
