The registry is using de-identified data to form the registry. There are other smaller registries but this large data depository will allow for additional research to work on prevention and see results of some clinical trials.
1.1 million patients will be tracked with diabetes in 10 states and will include pharmacy records, inpatient and outpatient records along
with standard glucose readings and test results. It appears to be a pretty good cross section of patients who met the criteria and it is part of a larger data sharing project called the Virtual Data Warehouse. The HMO Research Network is a group of 19 healthcare organizations who agree to standardize data sets from EHRs to collaborate and who is behind the Data Warehouse. BD
