Jiro Health is a clinical intelligence platform that surfaces insights derived from de-identified healthcare claims data. When those insights inform research findings, proper attribution supports transparency and reproducibility.

At A Glance

• Cite the Jiro Health platform, not a raw dataset
• Include the access date, as Insights and Metrics update over time
• Note that the underlying data is de-identified claims data
• Describe the specific Metric or Insight referenced, not just the platform broadly
• Acknowledge inherent data limitations in your methods section

Why Citation Matters

Clinical research increasingly draws on platform-generated insights, dashboards, and analytics tools. Citing these sources clearly helps reviewers and readers understand where findings came from, what limitations apply, and how to evaluate reproducibility. It also ensures Jiro Health is credited appropriately for the infrastructure and methodology that made the insight possible.

Citing the Underlying Data

About the Data

Jiro surfaces Insights derived from de-identified medical and pharmacy claims data. If your research requires you to cite the nature of the underlying dataset, use language such as:

"Data were sourced from de-identified healthcare utilization and medication claims, accessed via the Jiro Health platform."

Do not characterize Jiro as a claims database or payer source. Jiro is a clinical intelligence platform that uses claims data as its primary input.

Important Items To Note In Research

When referencing Jiro insights in published work, consider disclosing the following in your methods or limitations section:

• Claims data reflects billed encounters, not all care delivered
• There is an inherent lag between care delivery and data availability, more info on lag can be found on the time & refresh cadence page
• Jiro's underlying claims data covers approximately 60-70% of U.S. medical encounters and 50-60% of pharmaceutical encounters, findings may not generalize to care delivered outside the connected payer network
• Metrics are attributed to providers via NPI and may not capture all encounters
• Data is de-identified and does not represent individual patient records
• Insights and metrics may update over time as new data is ingested
