Health Data Compass is part of the Research Informatics Office on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado. Our mission is to empower our partners with advanced health data analytics.
Our services are available to employees of UCHealth, Children's Hospital Colorado, CU Medicine Practice Group, and the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
Data Delivery Services
As the enterprise health data warehouse, Compass integrates patient data from the electronic medical records at UCHealth and Children's Hospital Colorado, provider billing data from CU Medicine, and -omics data from the Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine. These data are further enriched with various state and public data sources, including death registry, ACS Census, environmental, and social determinants of health data. Learn more about these data here.
Compass makes these data available to our partners through a range of methods, from self-service de-identified cohort analyses to fully identified, line-level datasets suitable for advanced analytics.
Cloud Analytics Infrastructure
Compass offers access to our Eureka secure, cloud-based analytics platform designed. We can rapidly provision cloud-based, HIPAA-compliant virtual machines to Compass users. This enables our partners to access high-powered computational environments to service a variety of advanced analytics needs, from statistics and visualizations to bioinformatics processing, deep learning, and more. Because Eureka users pay only for the time in which their virtual machines are in use, they can provision much more power than could normally be afforded, while being assured of meeting HIPAA security and compliance standards.
Compass Technology
Health Data Compass has been fully housed in the Google Cloud since 2017, and we are marquee partner for Google Health & Life Sciences. Our data warehouse infrastructure is massively fast and rapidly scalable, as well as offering access to the suite of powerful analytic and data science tools offered by Google.
