Health Data Compass proudly announces its attainment of the esteemed ISO 27001 Certification, solidifying its position as a leader in information security and data protection. Read the full story here.

The university noted in its news release the researchers will work with UCHealth’s Health Data Compass, School of Medicine IT, and guidance from Colorado Multiple Institutional Review Board, along with regulatory, compliance, and informatics leaders on campus.

Kalpathy-Cramer and her team have a lot of data to pull from at the eye center for the research including data from UCHealth's Health Data Compass.

Dr. Michael Rosenberg, a cardiac electrophysiologist at CU, and his colleagues have examined deep-learning models that use electronic records from the Health Data Compass warehouse to predict those at greatest risk of developing a life-threatening heart rhythm disorder called QT prolongation after taking one of more than 100 medications.

Recognizing the growing importance of data governance, Health Data Compass is one company that is improving efficiencies and delivering more value to researchers by adopting cloud-based infrastructure and automation to drive impactful research analytics.

As cloud computing becomes the norm, organizations like ours, Health Data Compass at the Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine, continue to partner with innovative organizations to advance our mission of supporting research analytics.

MENDS (Multi-state EHR-based Network for Disease Surveillance) is adding a FHIR Bulk Data service and will provision the data warehouse via a FHIR Bulk Data client

With extensive analytical tools and a 6M patient record research data warehouse on Google Cloud platform, the Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine delivers “no-barriers” data and analytics under unforeseen scenarios like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Google Cloud Platform securely powers the Health Data Compass data warehouse of patient records and genetic data to personalize disease diagnosis and treatment, and to develop new therapies.

Health Data Compass presents at the Google Cloud Next conference on HIPPA compliance in Cloud technology and its implications for users.

The Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine (CCPM), a partnership among the University of Colorado Denver, UCHealth, Children's Hospital Colorado, and CU Medicine, is using Tableau Software (NYSE: DATA), a global leader in visual analytics, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to analyze patient data to predict disease risk and develop targeted treatments based on an individual's health history in support of breakthrough research projects. 

Health Data Compass, an analytics initiative supported by four major healthcare provider organizations in the Denver area, is leveraging cloud-based data management to integrate patient genomic data and EHR data to drive forward personalized medicine.

University of Colorado Denver executives say the switch has given new legs to the analytics push, called Health Data Compass, which is part of the Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine. 

University of Colorado Health (UC Health) takes its mission to “push the boundaries of medicine” very seriously.
