 The CDM defines table structures in a person-centric way. At a minimum, the tables have a foreign key into the Person table and a date. This allows for a longitudinal view on all the healthcare-relevant events. The exceptions from this rule are the standardized health system data tables, which are linked directly to events of the various domains. ​ The CDM defines table structures in a person-centric way.
