Abstract:auditing and surveys of staff we present information demonstrating how the VDW is used at the 3 HMOs. Conclusions: The original intent of the VDW was to increase efficiency in the use of data on multi-site studies. However, single site studies can also gain efficiencies from using the VDW and at some HMOs the VDW has become the first data source to use for almost all research. The VDW advantages of standard data structures and standard methods are also useful for single site projects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
