Clinical Database to Support Comparative Effectiveness Studies of Complex Patients, 2005-2010 [United States]

<strong>Overview:</strong> The goal of the project was to develop a unique database linking chronic disease clinical data from an electronic medical record (EMR) of a large academic healthcare system to multi-payer claims data. The longitudinal relational database can be used to study clinical effectiveness of many diagnostic and treatment interventions. The population of patients used consisted of those patients who were attributed to the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) as continuing care patients, who are also in adjudicated and validated chronic disease registries.
<strong>Data Access:</strong> These data are not available from ICPSR. The data are restricted to use by the principal investigator and cannot be shared.
