Create and manage datasets

This page describes how to create, edit, view, list, and delete datasets. After creating a dataset, you can create data stores that hold electronic health records and medical imaging data, de-identify the dataset, and more.

Before you begin

See the Cloud Healthcare API Data model.

Create a dataset

The following samples show how to create a dataset.

Note: If you have specific compliance or regulatory requirements related to the keys that protect your data, create your dataset using the instructions in Enable customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) for Cloud Healthcare API datasets.

Permissions required for this task

To perform this task, you must have been granted the following permissions or the following Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles:

Permissions

• healthcare.datasets.create

Roles

• Healthcare Dataset Administrator (roles/healthcare.datasetAdmin)

You can ask your administrator to grant you these Identity and Access Management roles. For instructions on granting roles, see Manage access or Control access to Cloud Healthcare API resources. You might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles.

Note: If you created a Google Cloud project for this guide, then, as the project creator, you're automatically granted the Owner (roles/owner) IAM role, which has the permissions. You don't need to be granted any additional IAM roles.

Console

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Browser page.

   Go to Browser

2. Click Create dataset. The Dataset properties page is displayed.

3. In the Name field, enter an identifier for the dataset subject to the dataset permitted characters and size requirements.

4. Select one of the following location types:

   • Region. The dataset permanently resides within one Google Cloud region. After selecting this option, type or select a location in the Region field.

   • Multi-region. The dataset permanently resides within a location that spans multiple Google Cloud regions. After selecting this option, type or select a multi-region location in the Multi-region field.

5. Click Create. The Browser page is displayed. The new dataset is displayed in the list of datasets.

gcloud

Run the gcloud healthcare datasets create command.

Before using any of the command data below, make the following replacements:

• LOCATION: a supported location for the dataset
• DATASET_ID: an identifier subject to the dataset permitted characters and size requirements

Execute the following command:

Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell

Note: Ensure you have initialized the Google Cloud CLI with authentication and a project by running either gcloud init; or gcloud auth login and gcloud config set project.

gcloud healthcare datasets create DATASET_ID \

Edit a dataset

The following samples show how to edit a dataset.

Permissions required for this task

To perform this task, you must have been granted the following permissions or the following Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles:

Permissions

• healthcare.datasets.update

Roles

• Healthcare Dataset Administrator (roles/healthcare.datasetAdmin)

You can ask your administrator to grant you these Identity and Access Management roles. For instructions on granting roles, see Manage access or Control access to Cloud Healthcare API resources. You might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles.

Note: If you created a Google Cloud project for this guide, then, as the project creator, you're automatically granted the Owner (roles/owner) IAM role, which has the permissions. You don't need to be granted any additional IAM roles.

Console

The Google Cloud console doesn't support editing a dataset. Instead, use the Google Cloud CLI or the REST API.

gcloud

Run the gcloud healthcare datasets update command.

Before using any of the command data below, make the following replacements:

• LOCATION: the dataset location
• DATASET_ID: the dataset ID
• TIME_ZONE: a supported time zone, such as UTC

Execute the following command:

Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell

Note: Ensure you have initialized the Google Cloud CLI with authentication and a project by running either gcloud init; or gcloud auth login and gcloud config set project.

gcloud healthcare datasets update DATASET_ID \
  --location=LOCATION \
  --time-zone=TIME_ZONE
