Fig. 1. The DEDUCE modular design for self-service enterprise data delivery.

Fig. 1

The Duke Enterprise Data Unified Content Explorer (DEDUCE) is comprised of a set of modules, each providing a distinct functionality for enterprise data interaction. Cohort Manager (CM) is the keystone module and provides self-service cohort definitions and joining functionality without the need to use structured query language (SQL) on the underlying enterprise data warehouse (EDW). Other DEDUCE modules interact with CM as illustrated above. Key to numbering: 1. A Guided Query (GQ) result set is imported into CM as a new cohort. 2. A given CM cohort is used to launch associated Clinical Text (CT) reports. 3. Patients from a given set of CT reports are imported into CM as a new cohort. 4. A given CM cohort is used to launch geospatial visualization in DEDUCE Geo. 5. Represents future state where patients identified using Geo visualization will be imported into CM as a new cohort. 6. The Chart Review (CR) functionality is used to select a set of patients and import into CM as a new cohort. 7. A given CM cohort is used to launch the CR dialogue and functionality. 8. A given CM cohort is used to launch the Future Appointments Report. 9. A user's patient listing is imported into CM as a new cohort. 10. A given CM cohort is used to launch the Export Manager module.
