DAF Initiative Overview
The Data Access Framework (DAF) Initiative aims to increase access to patient data, using standards for data queries, APIs, or services in order to expand the ability of users to create value out of their data without having to rely on existing access paths based on clinical workflow events Standards based access can enable a provider to further analyze the collected data to understand a patient’s overall health, the health of a provider’s collective patient population, and use the data with innovative new applications and tools to improve care for patients and populations. This will improve patient care across the continuum and provide the capability to analyze and use patient data collected in the care process to improve population health.

DAF has approached standardized data access in three phases:
 * Phase 1: Focused on Local, internal access (Intra-Organization Query)
 * Phase 2: Targeted Access across organizations (Inter-Organization Query)
 * Phase 3: Enhance technical capabilities to enable the research community to access data from multiple organizations and data sources within a Learning Health System (LHS) infrastructure

DAF Federated Queries-Objective
Phase 3 of DAF is working to enable researchers to access data from multiple organizations and data sources within a Learning Health System (LHS) infrastructure. Ongoing LHS activities include researchers accessing data under the current Patient‑Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network (PCORnet) grant activities.

Under the PCORI and PCORnet environment is an expansive set of health systems who are partnering to conduct research as a network, know as the Clinical Data Research Networks (CDRNs) and the Patient-Powered Research Networks (PPRNs). Both of these research networks collect data from multiple sources and makes them available for research along with a governing Institutional Review Board (IRB) RB that helps to address various policy issues surrounding consent, data use, data release, anonymization, security and privacy etc. =Reference Materials= include component="page" wikiName="siframework" page="Data Access Framework Contacts"
