Data Sites

There is no centralized common data warehouse that combines or merges data from all pSCANNER organizations. Data are stored, owned and governed by each individual pSCANNER site, and network organizations retain their identifiable data in separate HIPAA-compliant environments. At the moment, each site requires a separate approval process (including IRB review) to conduct clinical research using these data.
