Slicer Dicer is a powerful, self-service data exploration tool integrated into Drexel’s Epic system, designed to support researchers in their data-driven projects.

To begin using Slicer Dicer, simply log in to Drexel’s Epic system and navigate to the Slicer Dicer module. From there, you can start building custom queries and exploring the vast data resources available to support your feasibility.

With Slicer Dicer, researchers can easily create custom queries tailored to their specific research needs. The tool allows users to filter, slice, and dice data across multiple dimensions—such as patient demographics, clinical outcomes, and treatment histories—helping to uncover trends, patterns, and relationships within the data.

Slicer Dicer is ideal for the preparatory stages of research. Researchers can quickly assess the feasibility of their studies by exploring potential study populations, estimating sample sizes, and identifying relevant clinical data points. This helps in formulating hypotheses and designing studies with a strong foundation.

Slicer Dicer can provide real-time access to clinical data. As data is updated within Epic, Slicer Dicer reflects these changes, ensuring that researchers are working with the most current information available. The drag-and-drop functionality, along with guided workflows, makes it easy to build and modify queries.
