Information Commons hosts multi-factor and multi-modal data, including UCSF’s structured clinical data, clinical notes, meta-data on clinical notes, extracted concepts from clinical notes using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and other approaches, radiological images, meta-data extracted from DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) headers. Other sources are planned to be added in the future, including omics data (cancer and germline), pathology slides, waveform data from bedside monitoring devices, data from UC Health Data Warehouse.
Currently Available Data Sources
Structured de-identified Electronic Health Records (EHR)
- De-Identified UCSF Clinical Data Warehouse (DEID CDW)
- De-Identified SFDPH/ZSFGH Structured EHR data
- Identified structured EHR and clinical notes by request with approved IRB
Notes
- De-identified clinical notes and reports
- Clinical Notes Extracts (Concepts extracted from clinical notes)
Radiology Images
Images are being added to the Information Commons 1 cohort at a time and on request. There are currently ~220k imaging exams available in the IC and the number is growing. To request a cohort of images that are not in the IC, please submit a request. To fulfill the request you will need to provide a list of deidentified “accession numbers” obtained from the IC structured data sources listed above.
If you need help, please indicate that in your request and someone from ci2 will contact you.
Images are only available on the IC Wynton App Server.
Genomics
Cancer genetic testing panels for UCSF 500 and Foundation Medincine
