INSIGHT Clinical Research Network (CRN), a Weill Cornell Medicine-led database of more than 15 million patients, has received close to $8 million in renewed funding from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to expand the database and its use for health research for the next three years. INSIGHT CRN is a collection of de-identified electronic health records and clinical trials data from the five top academic medical centers in NYC, centralized into one database. The renewal will support studies of artificial intelligence and natural language processing of health data to aid in health decision-making, as well as studies on the long-term effects of COVID-19. It will also enable more pragmatic clinical trials, research studies on a health intervention already in place in a real-world setting. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/INSIGHTRenewal
