This course aims to teach the concepts of clinical data models and common data models. Upon completion of this course, learners will be able to interpret and evaluate data model designs using Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs), differentiate between data models and articulate how each are used to support clinical care and data science, and create SQL statements in Google BigQuery to query the MIMIC3 clinical data model and the OMOP common data model.
This week describes clinical data models and explains the need for and use of common data models in national and international data networks. We will also cover the features of Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) to describe the key technical features of data models.
