Overview

The Data Exporter functionality enables an i2b2 user to request patient data for the patients found by a desired query. In the configured workflow, data is requested and generated through new breakdown types that can be selected in the Run Query dialog. Users will see "data request" breakdowns, which send an e-mail to a predefined data manager requesting a type of data. The data manager (Manager user role) processes the request by rerunning the query with a special "data export" breakdown. The patient data is exported as a file and stored in a specified location for retrieval.

The patient data export types, request options, and file specifications are configured in the database using specific request type entries and configuration parameters in the database.
