Data acquisition & exploration

ED&A facilitates data acquisition and definition of data structures, in partnership with other teams across Informatics & Analytics and DFCI. ED&A links data from Peoplesoft, Epic, Info-ed, OnCore, and more into integrated and easily queried views for DFCI users.

ED&A routinely inventories the available data to understand which metrics are available in Epic, DataSteward, EPSi, PeopleSoft, etc., and determine metrics that can be calculated by manipulating existing fields.
