Get Started

UPMC's EHR Research Recruitment Service was designed to help researchers to recruit patients who more accurately match a study's eligibility criteria. We use de-identified patient health records to determine which patients match best.

This is done with the help of the Cohort Discovery Query and Analysis Tool that you will use to run a query on de-identified patient data from a data warehouse, which includes demographics, diagnoses, lab results, and medications prescribed.

This service is regulatory-compliant.
