Linking supplemental data to an existing cohort or dataset 

Linking supplemental data to an existing cohort or dataset 

If a data requestor already has a pre-existing cohort or dataset, the IADC can work with the requestor to link their existing cohort to clinical or other relevant data accessible through the IADC. The IADC has access to extensive person matching tools and expertise, as well as a geocoding infrastructure that will enable linking of disparate data sources as the person or geographic level.

Data requestors often utilize the IADC to supplement their existing data with clinically relevant outcomes or healthcare utilization, after patient matching is performed.
