Cumulus ETL

Cumulus ETL is your entry point into the whole Cumulus pipeline.

ETL stands for “extract, transform, load.”

1. Cumulus ETL first extracts data from the hospital servers (usually in the form of a bulk FHIR export).
2. Then it transforms that data by de-identifying it and converting clinical notes into lists of symptoms.
3. And finally it loads that data onto the cloud to be consumed by the next phase of the Cumulus pipeline.

Installing

Cumulus ETL is open source. If you’d like to browse its code or contribute changes yourself, the code is on GitHub.
