Characteristics of national cohort data “ecosystem”
- Decentralized control
- Federation and data sharing (via standards)
- Patient will be the one common feature
- Unknowable and diverse requirements
- Iterative, incremental development, since we will learn as we go
- Continuous evolution and deployment
- Tolerate differences in semantics, syntax, and sophistication
- Path of least regret
- Normal failures
- Security is important, recovery and restoration even more so
- Orchestration rather than command and control
- We will be helping to orchestrate this work, rather than playing all
the instruments

How can we leverage the blue button?The five things to standardize
How should well-defined values be coded so that they are universally understood? How should the message be formatted so that it is computable? How does the message move from A to B? How do we ensure that messages are secure and private?

Structured vs Unstructured Data
S4S can leverage granular data through the CDE
standard, FHIR resources, APIs, and industry best practice authentication and transport protocols
HOWEVER Also need to include unstructured, comprehensive data
Still not possible to get a complete extract of your medical
record from an EHR and import it into another EHR or another application
But the standards are nearly there to get us started
What we need to get started that will enable patients to contribute their data to a national cohort
A way to extract ALL patient data from an
Many of the standards are ready to test and use “wrappers” around free text A “begin file”/”end file” specification Structure what you can, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of
