By organizing data in a standardized manner and addressing interoperability issues, healthcare organizations can ensure that data can be easily shared and used by different systems. One approach used for data organization and sharing is the use of common data models with standardized structure and format for organizing data, allowing different healthcare systems to easily exchange and share information.
Addressing interoperability issues is another important aspect of creating a structured multicenter dataset. SCCM's Discovery, the Critical Care Research Network, has been actively working on harmonizing and standardizing data elements to fill a gap in critical care research. The speaker will review and illustrate six organizing topics (data domains and common data elements; data harmonization; data quality; data interoperability and digital infrastructure; data access, sharing, and governance; and ethics and equity) as a data science primer for critical care researchers.
