Aircraft and ships often represent the visible edge of the United States military reach, with aircraft patrols, international exercises, and demonstrations of regional partnership across thousands of miles of ocean.

As patients often interact with many providers and payers over time, collecting data across organizations may have critical implications for accuracy and bias in study results. US policy has promoted exchanging health information among providers, payers, and patients, but less attention has focused on facilitating data collection for research, which presents unique challenges. Objective This study aimed to identify and evaluate existing and emerging approaches for collecting comprehensive provider and payer data for research…
