Smarter data that enables research and discovery

When patients visit Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), their clinical encounters are documented in VUMC’s electronic health record (EHR). Nashville Bioscience’s Clinical Data is a synthetic derivative of this EHR, created to enable research and discovery, and is the backbone of our offerings.

Our Clinical Data is:

Patient-consented 
De-identified under HIPAA Safe Harbor method 
Derived from real-world clinical encounters within the VUMC health system
Representative of the entire patient care journey at VUMC
Updated regularly as new episodes of care occur

Data Curated to Your Needs

NashBio works with our customers to understand their data needs and comfort level navigating large, complex datasets. To support a wide spectrum of users, the structured clinical data is available in the following formats:

Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) format

OMOP is a widely adopted common data model that was created to standardize observational health data
Open source
Relational database

Curated flat files

NashBio’s curated tables enable efficient analysis
Helps customers less familiar with navigating relational databases

Tokenized data option

A single source of data may lack all the relevant information to answer a customer’s research question. To support customers who require broader datasets, while preserving de-identified status, NashBio is part of the Datavant data ecosystem. NashBio data can be tokenized and linked to other datasets that are available on the Datavant platform.
All NashBio data modalities are fully normalized and have been cross-referenced to provide a harmonized data experience. NashBio is committed to patient privacy, to learn more see Unwavering Commitment to Patient Privacy.
