This module is intended to identify environmental exposures (e.g., medication exposures, chemical exposures, socio-economic exposures) associated with a defined patient cohort. The idea is to reveal additional information about the cohort that may not be obvious or readily apparent. For example, one may want to examine the proportion of patients with diabetes who do not have access to an automobile or health insurance, live near a CAFO, and are receiving medications that are typically used to treat Fanconi anemia (suggesting the presence of rare disease).

This ticket is for general considerations about Workflow 5, Module 2 as a whole. Separate tickets may be created for issues specific to a particular submodule.
