DESCRIPTION:In this training\, we provide practical information and guidan
 ce on how to use the SPHN Federated Query System (FQS) for feasibility ass
 essments of research projects.  \nThe SPHN FQS allows researchers to que
 ry data from all five Swiss university hospitals using a single tool. Rese
 archers can search harmonized data coded in national and international ter
 minologies and assess whether and where there are patients or patient data
  that may be relevant to a particular research question.\nThe FQS allows r
 esearchers to assess the feasibility of their project by running simple qu
 eries against a subset of clinical data from all five hospitals. It also e
 nables the creation and optimization of inclusion and exclusion criteria f
 or study protocols. Queries may include demographic information (age and g
 ender)\, diagnosis (ICD-10)\, procedures (CHOP)\, medication (ATC) and lab
  test (LOINC) and lab results with units (according to UCUM).\n\nCurrently
 \, the system includes over 130 Mio data elements from over 600’000 pati
 ents\, who signed a general consent. The data in FQS is completely anonymi
 zed\, and hospitals retain full control of their data at all times because
  queries are performed in a decentralized manner.\n\nLearning outcomes: \n
 - Use the FQS\, create queries and interpret the results \n- Understand t
 he potential and limitations of the SPHN FQS \n\nTarget audience: \nThe p
 rimary target of this training are ETH Researchers interested in accessing
  and using the system.\n\nRequirements: \nNew users are asked to register 
 for an account for the SPHN FQS through the BioMedIT portal prior to the t
 raining (find instructions here: https://sphn.ch/document/sphn-federated-q
 uery-system-access/)\n\nFormat: Webinar\n\nDate: 16 June 2023\n\nTime: 11h
 00-12h00\n\nDirect registration link: https://rb.gy/zfemk \nFor more infor
