All, I had inquired about the possibility of UIOWA creating its COVID19 CDM as being comprised of all patients, not just those who meet the criteria that were specified by PCORnet. Below is the response from DRNOC confirming that this was acceptable.

We described a standalone COVID-CDM as most sites did not express the ability to refresh the whole CDM as needed.

We understand that the ask was for sites to only include patients testing positive for the virus or with a coronavirus-related ICD-10 code. We are asking whether sites like UIOWA can refresh their entire CDM as their COVID19 CDM, rather than restricting to patients who test positive for the virus. At UIOWA, it’s mainly a matter of time to pull out only positive cases. Moreover, given that coding systems are in flux it may be more beneficial to include all patients and have PCORnet queries filter out the positive cases, rather than sites. It would also more readily allow research designs that require controls. If it was possible to include all our patients we would expect that queries from PCORnet would include code that limits based on COVID status. Can PCORnet please let us know if we can create our COVID19 CDM without restricting to COVID positive cases? (We will still proceed if not, but will save time if limiting isn’t necessary) Thanks, Brian Brian M.
