Is the collection to be analyzed retrospective in nature (already in the database), or will it be collected prospectively?
There are several approaches to structured data ( so the meaning of the data is preset) from one dataset, collected prospectively that I suggest to look at. However, this is not very recent, and not using distributed approaches. However, if you are able to combine the data from distributed storage into one pool for the analysis, it still would do I think. First analysis linkages between medical diagnoses and nursing diagnoses and care, and second identifies differences in such data / groups. It is in particular for the analytical approaches that i suggest this.
