The University of Chicago Data for the Common Good team conducted a series of quality improvement sessions between April 2023 and August 2023 to improve usability of the Pediatric Cancer Data Commons (PCDC). The PCDC allows researchers to perform cohort discovery on over 40,000 patients with cancer, filtered by demographics, disease type and other factors.
