The NUM Routine Data Platform (NUM-RDP) project aims to provide a generic routine data platform. “Routine data” here refers to data from routine clinical documentation relating to patient care. In the first funding period, NUM supplemented the existing federated data storage and analysis capabilities of the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) with the option of centralised, cross-institutional data consolidation, storage and release. In the future, this central data infrastructure will be expanded to include a data management center in collaboration with MII partners. In the medium term, this will enable joint research projects to be carried out by having data on all core data set modules from NUM-RDP and MII received by the data integration centers (DIZ) and made available for broad consent-based research projects. In addition, the NUM dashboard supports pandemic management with near real-time central tracking of care costs and patient characteristics.
