Clinical Research Data Warehouse

The Clinical Research Data Warehouse (CDRW) is a partnership between the OU College of Medicine, Oklahoma Shared Clinical and Translational Resources (OSCTR), OU Health, and the Oklahoma Health Care Authority. The CDRW connects electronic medical records (EMRs) to research and quality improvement/quality assurance (QI/QA) communities. The CDRW supports OUHSC's ability to compete for grants, recruit participants, conduct retrospective review and analysis, and submit to registries. The CDRW also helps improve care for patients by supporting the facilitation of meaningful local surveillance programs.
