To support research projects that require medical data from multiple sites is one of the goals of the German Medical Informatics Initiative (MII). The data integration centers (DIC) at university medical centers in Germany provide patient data via FHIR® in compliance with the MII core data set (CDS). Requirements for data protection and other legal bases for processing prefer decentralized processing of the relevant data in the DICs and the subsequent exchange of aggregated results for cross-site evaluation. With the CDS tool chain, we have created software components for decentralized processing on the basis of the MII CDS. The CDS tool chain requires access to a local FHIR endpoint and then transfers the data to an SQL database. This is accessed by the DataProcessor component, which performs calculations with the help of rules (input repo) and writes the results back to the database. The CDS tool chain also has a frontend module (REDCap), which is used to display the output data and calculated results, and allows verification, evaluation, comments and other responses. This feedback is also persisted in the database and is available for further use, analysis or data sharing in the future.
