[@olsen2007learning] A chief component of this ambition rests on the exciting prospect that patient-level data captured during the routine course of clinical care could be analyzed to produce **real-world evidence**, which in turn could be disseminated across the healthcare system to inform clinical practice. In 2007, the Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine issued a report which established a goal that "By the year 2020, 90 percent of clinical decisions will be supported by accurate, timely, and up-to-date clinical information, and will reflect the best available evidence." [@olsen2007learning] While tremendous progress has been made on many different fronts, we still fall well short of these laudable aspirations. -Why? In part, because the journey from patient-level data to reliable evidence is an arduous one. There is no single defined path from data to evidence, and no single map that can help to navigate along the way. In fact, there is no single notion of "data," nor is there a singular notion of 'evidence'. +Why? In part, because the journey from patient-level data to reliable evidence is an arduous one.
