In healthcare, understanding a patient’s whole story is paramount to conducting impactful research, making the right diagnosis, and securing health equity for people and communities. That means having the ability to see all the factors that influence a person’s healthcare journey and entire life — from family health history and risk factors to education, income, and community connections.
LexisNexis® Gravitas® offers powerful, next-generation technology that can be used to generate complete longitudinal views of virtually any person’s journey, fully de-identified and research-ready1 — unlocking the power of real-world data (RWD) for healthcare.
1) Based on expert determination that the Gravitas token and each Gravitas dataset meet the HIPAA de-identification requirements of the HIPAA Privacy Rule as set out in 45 CFR § 164.514(b)(1).
The power of real-world data (RWD) to enrich complete, longitudinal patient journeys represents a promise in healthcare. Today, only 20% of health outcomes can be attributed to medical care decisions. When paired with precise matching, real-world data has the potential to reveal whole-person journeys and to revolutionize what healthcare and clinical research can achieve.
This is where Gravitas® brings together industry-leading healthcare data with next-generation tokenization to drive insights and discoveries that will help people achieve what we all deserve — better health.
LexisNexis® Risk Solutions offers a comprehensive collection of high-quality, research-ready datasets covering the U.S. adult population. Our data currently includes social determinants of health (SDOH), medical claims, and mortality data. |
The Gravitas token securely de-identifies datasets and uses its referential data layer to perform linking and matching with unparalleled precision. |
Our Current Datasets Include:
Healthcare organizations can have confidence in the improved precision and security of Gravitas data linking and de-identified matching — as well as the insights it uncovers and decision-making it informs.
Referential Data Layer
What makes Gravitas next-generation tokenization technology? Gravitas token uses referential matching to match datasets from our research-ready data sets with customer inputs behind a trusted third-party firewall against a referential data layer.
Where first-generation tokenization struggles to account for factors such as address or name changes, Gravitas uses referential matching to identify missed or mismatched records with more precision and confidence.
Unlock the power of RWD for clinical research3 with access to comprehensive SDOH, medical claims, and mortality data — fully de-identified and tokenized with improved precision. |
3) The linking of any additional dataset that is not reasonably available to the Gravitas token or Gravitas research-ready datasets
requires
independent expert determination of HIPAA compliance. Access to and use of regulated data is limited to use for a permissible purpose
and subject to completion of the LexisNexis Risk Solution credentialing process.
Drawing on a legacy of more than half a century of data security, Gravitas token, certified by an expert to be HIPAA de-identified enables - use of real-world data through secure tokenization and referential linking capabilities.
As healthcare organizations look to transform how they make new discoveries and provide innovative care, Gravitas remains committed to ensuring security and privacy for the data partners we work with.
