CDM Table name: PERSON

The Optum EHR Patient table contains an indicator that denotes whether the paient is part of an integrated delivery network, which means that there is a higher likelihood of complete capture of medical events. An integrated delivery network is an organization or group of hospitals and health care providers that aligns local facilities, managing them as one. To keep track of this, for each person in the Patient table with idn_indicator = 1, create a record in the OBSERVATION table where OBSERVATION_DATE = OBSERVATION_PERIOD_START_DATE, OBSERVATION_CONCEPT_ID = 44804235 and VALUE_AS_NUMBER = 1, OBSERVATION_SOURCE_VALUE = ‘IDN’ and OBSERVATION_TYPE_CONCEPT_ID = 32817 (EHR).

Do not populate if person doesn’t have Observation period

Race and Ethnicity

Unlike Optum Extended Clinformatics data, the race and ethnicity in Optum EHR are self-reported and not derived.

Insured vs Uninsured population
