From: MIMIC-IV, a freely accessible electronic health record dataset
An overview of the development process for MIMIC. Data are acquired from the BIDMC data warehouse, the ICU information system (MetaVision), and external sources (“acquisition”). Structured Query Language (SQL) scripts merge the various data sources into a single schema (“transformation”). Finally, deidentification algorithms are applied to selectively remove protected health information from the reformatted schema. Tables present in MIMIC-IV are provided on the far right of the figure under their respective module. Issues raised on the MIMIC Code Repository are assessed and used to improve the build process as appropriate.
