IDEA4RC aims at developing an IT infrastructure to facilitate the sharing and re-use of health data among clinical centers to promote research on rare cancers and improve patients’ access to high quality care. Our challenge is building a new tool to overcome interoperability issues and make it easier to comply with privacy regulations. To achive this result a common data model has been agreed.

An overview of this model is provided hereafter; a detailed ERD is instead shown in the IDEA4RC Detailed ERD Model page.

The following diagram provide a high level description of the IDEA4RC MODEL
