Learning objectives: (1) Provide a general overview of N3C, including goals, organization, and community resources such as Domain Teams and Data Liaisons; (2) Introduce the 3 data tiers available and important considerations for research driven by the data harmonization process; (3) Discuss resources for training and support and the process of the Data Use Request (DUR) required for researcher access.
Privacy Preserving Record Linkage
Learn about hashing and how it allows for privacy-preserving record linkage (PPRL) within the N3C Data Enclave.
A demonstration of these linkages is presented using radiographic imaging and synthetic clinical data, along with a walkthrough of the types of insights, interfaces, and machine learning techniques you can use with the linked data.
