Resources to help the development and function of engaged research teams
Our team is the University of Pittsburgh component of the PaTH Clinical Research Network, a Partner Network in PCORnet®, the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network. PCORnet® has been developed with funding from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute® (PCORI®). PCORnet® is a national resource where health data, research expertise, and patient insights are available to deliver fast, trustworthy answers that advance health outcomes. PCORnet® offers access to health record data on ~66 million patients across the US, as well as a variety of other resources to make research using RWE more efficient and patient-centered. PaTH is a regional partnership including the University of Pittsburgh/UPMC (lead site), Geisinger Health, Johns Hopkins University/Johns Hopkins Health System, Penn State College of Medicine/Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University/ Temple Health System/, The Ohio State University/Wexner Medical Center, and the University of Michigan/Michigan Medicine.
