4. Our priorities Moving the department proposal along Communications and outreach Education programs Research infrastructure and initiatives – Electronic health data core

5. Governance Electronic health data core Education Data

6. Medicare Data Inventory*  Main data  5% sample, 1991–2013, all data sources  100% sample, 2000–2014, inpatient data * Probably incomplete  Special cohorts  ADHERE registry  Carotid artery stenting  GWTG-Heart Failure  GWTG-Stroke  NCDR-ICD  Peripheral artery disease  Retina disease  Atrial fibrillation  SEER cancer (multiple sites)  SEER non-cancer Growing with support from Margolis, DIHI, NIH, etc.

7.  American Hospital Association annual survey  UPIN directory  NPI directory  CMS core measure results  Hospital Compare results  CPT / HCPCS lookup  DRG lookup  ICD-9/10 Dx/Px lookup  ICD-9/10 GEMs  Medicare provider database  Hospital referral region definitions / ZIP crosswalk Supplemental Data Inventory

8. Interesting Applications  Clinical registry linkage  Clinical trials  HARMONY Outcomes (GSK)  ADAPTABLE (PCORI)  FDA SENTINEL surveillance network + Inpatient, Outpatient, Rx

9. Secret Sauce  For our small, productive team  Dedicated governance staff  Database organization  Specific derived information  Deep knowledge of data  Scientific rigor  Statisticians who program [Not actually a secret] Flexible analysis Rapid (re-)analysis
