Despite considerable investments in health care, our health care systems often fall short in meeting quality metrics, patient satisfaction, and clinical outcomes goals. 1 Furthermore, despite large investments in clinical research, our research infrastructure often does not yield the needed data to support “evidence-based” health care. Deficiencies are partially due to inadequate representation of key stakeholders, including patients, in the design of health care research, as well as due to the overall paucity of valid and comprehensive data on sufficient numbers of patients. These gaps are especially evident in sleep medicine, where data are lacking that address questions such as which patients benefit from alternative treatments (eg, CPAP, surgery, oral appliances, oxygen supplementation); the basis for inter-individual variation in cardiometabolic and cognitive effects of sleep apnea; and the individual determinants of CPAP adherence or residual sleepiness after CPAP treatment. These gaps are due to limitations of available data, which too often are inadequate to generate robust evidence for supporting health care decisions. There is simultaneously a richness of data (eg, compliance tracking) and data waste (eg, focusing on insurance payments requirements while discarding other available data). The traditional practice of generating data has been compared to working in silos. Data silos include those such as electronic medical records of clinical encounters, sleep laboratory databases, online positive airway pressure tracking databases that reside in independent non-communicating areas.
