Data Usage

Researchers and clinicians, along with health care managers and administrators, are anticipated to be the primary users and beneficiaries of the data collected. We expect that they will request usage of the data for a variety of purposes:

Generate and test hypotheses (i.e. determine correlations, observational studies)
Resource for clinical trials - evidence-based practice
Quality management (organizational, performance, and clinical outcome)
Communication tool
Program planning
Policy development

There will be a formalized process for requesting the data, which is graphically illustrated below.
