STU 2 Ballot

This page is part of the Data Access Framework (v1.6.0: STU 2 Ballot 1) based on FHIR v1.6.0. . For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Introduction

DAF-Research IG will focus on enabling researchers to access data from multiple organizations in the context of Learning Health System (LHS). While DAF-Research IG can be applied to multiple use cases, the current requirements have been drawn heavily from PCORnet use cases and implementations. The capabilities described as part of the IG are intended to be leveraged to build our nation’s data infrastructure for a Learning Health System. DAF-Research will leverage the DAF-Core IG which has been created with substantial feedback from the Argonaut project.
