Cedars-Sinai Clinical Data Hub

Ray Duncan, MD, CTO, Cedars-Sinai Health System. Dr. Duncan describes Cedars-Sinai’s Clinical Data Hub, a web-based, user-friendly self-service tool for cohort selection based on both patient demographics and clinical characteristics. It supports both research (delivering scrubbed data) and operational (PHI visible) roles. Unique features include similarity searching, integration with the enterprise MPI, and extraction of clinical terms from free-text reports and mapping to standard vocabularies (SnoMed, LOINC, RXNorm, ICD, etc.) using natural language processing.
