Subject: unstructured text notes: refining the target (#431)

Russ, Brad (when you get back),

I'd like to get a few concrete use cases as targets for this deliverable so 
that we can get tangible experience with what's required and what would be 
nice-to-have.

MCW and IU both report trying the approach of de-identifying all their notes 
and putting them in i2b2 and coming to the conclusion that it was unwieldy. MCW 
now does de-identification on a cohort by cohort basis. I'm not sure how to 
characterize the IU approach.

The cohort-by-cohort basis suffices for GPC needs, as far as I can tell.

For example: suppose investigators specify, in their GPC DROC request, that 
progress notes are part of the data that they want. Then each site runs their 
cohort query and delivers notes for that cohort. The MCW process should work 
well as a recommended method but other methods would be acceptable if a site 
(such as IU) already has a suitable process.

Perhaps one concrete case would be: progress notes for the ALS cohort, since 
it's small, then try the breast cancer cohort. Or are there other cohorts where 
we have a customer demand for notes?

For reference: #431<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/431>
