Distributed data networks such as Sentinel, the NIH Collaboratory, and PCORnet hold great promise for increasing the impact and efficiency of clinical and translational research. But linking multiple sources of data across multiple sites presents unique challenges in terms of governance, data harmonization, and analysis. Join Brad Hammill, of the Duke Clinical Research Institute, and Michele Jonsson-Funk and Tim Carey, of the NC Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute, to discuss three different studies using three different approaches to multi-site claims linkage – and lessons learned from each.

This is part of the Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) Data Linkage Seminar Series and continues the conversations on improving clinical treatment decisions and public health for diverse populations by integrating electronic health record and administrative claims data in health research. Learn more about CER at NC TraCS.
