The Data Expert Group (DEG), which was part of the Data Coordination Center (DCC) located at the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, was responsible for defining standardized procedures for data production, data organization and data storage in order to reach nationwide interoperability of molecular and clinical patient data.
The DEG included experts from all institutions involved in SPHN. It has defined the infrastructures required to build a progressive and shareable data system that enables nationwide data interoperability.
Following the completion of its mandate in 2017, the DEG was dissolved. Members of the DEG have now an advisory role towards the DCC.
