The perinatal integrated data sets are sourced primarily from Epic@UNC perinatal data that is integrated with non-Epic data sets (ex: GIS, ACOG categorizations, perinatal tables for metric derivation, SDOH) and organized in different perinatal domains.
The integrated data sets are created with a structured and systematic methodology that provides data lineage, and integrated data sources from different domains can be linked to provide a longitudinal view of perinatal patients.
Currently we have a complete integrated data set for Deliveries, and our plan is to develop other perinatal domains that include prenatal, postpartum, lactation, NICU, ICU, diabetes, and hypertension.
