Public Data Catalog
Every real source that powers NurseWise cases, evidence cards, and quality modules — with license, citation, and usage scope.
How NurseWise uses public data
The platform combines open terminologies, published clinical guidance, and public synthetic datasets. All patient-level records remain synthetic; no real protected health information is stored.
SNOMED CT, LOINC, ICNP, and FHIR R4 are referenced by code/URI to label simulated observations and teach interoperability.
Surviving Sepsis Campaign, WHO, NICE, and AHRQ guidance are cited and linked, not redistributed verbatim.
Synthea, MIMIC-IV Demo, CMS SynPUF, and CDC NHANES provide realistic reference distributions without patient data.
